I defeated the god who controlled the ice region--don't recall his name, offhand--and all the smaller enemies in it. But the land still shows as outlined in dark green, and any attempt to drop an arcane monolith inside is told it can't be placed on owned land.
Didn't kill everything, then. Some monster may have run outside of the boundaries and be wandering that still is tagged as part of that place.
Have you taken it over and claimed its contents? Because my understanding was that only the god had to be brought down to remove his ownership. That's the way it happened when my stacks killed the swamp god, and I've done that in the ice region, too.
I had a similar encounter where a AI sov hid out in another AI's territory. I found this out after I took over all its towns. I guess technically the Sov could found a new city somewhere if it made it to some open space, yeah? I was able to defeat the AI again and having no city to flee to - finally registered as defeated.
Thing is, it's not a sovereign. It's a huge god boss, who just reigns over a city-less area filled with unpleasant vermin associated with the ice-lands. I did this with the swamps, and as soon as the god was killed, the swamps opened up as neutral territory. So I suspect this is a bug--but it's only a suspicion.
All (I think) of the Wildlands are bugged at the moment. I just continue to post the problems with them as I find them and figure they'll be fixed when they get to them.
In regards to Vetrar (the big ice guy), I've cleared his area completely of mobs, as well as those than wander just outside his territory, on more than one map and haven't been able to settle anything. The Wildland border never fades. It's that way with every Wildland I've seen except the swamp one.
Ah, thanks. I was looking for confirmation of that, because the swamps were the first Wildlands I've cleared and this, only the second.
I had this problem with the Desert wildland, but a few more turns after i'd killed everything, it did finally become settlable.
Well, I'll keep an eye on it, then. Maybe have a unit hang around in the area.
I had the same problem with the big fire guy, and that area didn't become settlable after a few turns.
I think I wandered around there for about 10 turns. And I think that the borders remained there untill I finished the game which was about a hundred turns later.
Same here, on the ice area. It never did lose its ownership. But then, this is mid-beta, and I'd expect this kind of thing to happen.
