In the upcomming battle with Daknors armies, they actually attacked player townsand destroyed or damaged structures.
Before you all go ballistic :)
Structures could be assigned hit points similiar to the old Satyr Island machines. Hit points could be scaled according to tier and building requirements.
To soften the blow, novian resources could be returned at 80 % to the owners vault along with the structure contents.
This would be the REAL war some of us have beem waiting for.
