Hi guys 
With the newly announced Campaign updates, this might very well be a moot point in a couple of weeks, but I had thought I'd like to share with you along with an appeal for help.
Somewhere around a month back, I heard a rumor circulating that killing regular Beastmen in campaign areas lowers Beastmen morale. Given that I heard this via an information route that shares much in common with the "telephone game" we all played in kindergarten, I think I either heard a greatly transformed version of the message or else the people who originally started spreading it used some terminology that was not entirely correct. After having joined Sandy's efforts to take back Vunkerl Inlet last night, I noticed something: after hours of unanswered success, Sandy's influence remained more or less stable, but the Orcs seemed to be losing little or no ground. Now, I suspect the larger reason for this was that for nearly two whole hours, not once did Sandy's NPCs mount an offensive on the inlet (thanks again, Preemptive Strike - focus on hitting areas of least Sandy influence . . .). That's when this idea hit me:
What if killing normal Orcs in an Orc-controlled area while wearing Sigil lowers their influence in that particular zone?
That makes sense to me on the surface, as it would mean that SE just made a slight revamp to the Conquest system and dropped it into place in the WotG zones.
In an effort to see if that's the case once and for all, I'd like to ask everyone with some free time this evening to join me in Vunkerl Inlet (or even East Ron, since it's easy to cover both Sandy and East Ron) and kill normal Orcs between Campaign battles and Transporter/Clan Bear dispatches.
I'd like to thank in advance any and all who would be willing to participate in this experiment.
