When a player drops a position are all related artifacts now being removed from game play?
When this occurred in game 300 there was a message announcing which artifacts were gone and this did not happen in 165.
Game 165 is a competition for getting as many artifacts as possible so this is rather important for that game.
Thanks!

If an artifact was destroyed, you would have seen the broadcast message for it. Keep in mind that if a pc had ownership of an artifact at the time of the drop/eliminated kingdom, the pc would pop neutral and the neutral pc would retain ownership. So whoever gains control of that pc afterwards would automatically gain control of the artifact. Happy hunting.

I suspect that this is false, or at least it was false a few weeks ago. In game 155, the dropped EL kingdom had two artifacts stationed in its former cap (not assigned to emmies) and they did not become mine when I usurped it. I assumed this was because they were taken with the Elves into the great beyond, but it sounds like this is not what was supposed to happen? May be worth looking into.

What happens to my prisoners when my enemy drops or is eliminated? Do they vanish along with all their status points? What if my ESO/SVC is tied to the number of prisoners?
As for artifacts, if they are destroyed there are SVC ramifications as well. What if I need all four king artifacts or Quest artifacts and a dropped player owns them or the key?

From the same game, I can confirm that your prisoners are safe. I had Elven and Dwarven prisoners, both of whom dropped and all my prisoners made it to the end. But active emmies disappear so you won't be able to count on sitting duck targets of dropped kingdoms anymore.

I think LD is asking if his ems who are being held prisoner by a dropped player disappear, or are released, or something else. Which is a slightly different question.

I think Cloud is saying that prisoners stay in the dungeons, which does answer my question. Thanks.

Sorry, misread it.  Good job, Cloud!
(I would actually be curious about the answer to my question as well, though.)
EDIT: Never mind, found this in the midst of the #300 active game thread.
"Any prisoners that an eliminated kingdom has at the time will be handled normally when an opponent conquers a pc with prisoners stationed there. So the conqueror of the last pc will inherit those prisoners."

To clarify the above statement, if your attack took out the last pc of another kingdom (that didn't have a Sanctuary), your kingdom will inherit those prisoners from the eliminated kingdom as normally. However, if a kingdom is eliminated by another means (e.g., not submitting orders for 3 consecutive turns), any prisoners held by that eliminated kingdom will be released back to their original kingdoms respectively or removed from play if the original kingdom no longer exists in the game. If you're currently in possession of a prisoner whose original kingdom was eliminated by someone, you'll still retain that prisoner of the fallen kingdom throughout the game unless you execute them or they are rescued by a foreign agent. Though you don't have to worry about that particular prisoner from escaping due to a reoccurring standing order since all orders of an eliminated kingdom are removed from play.

What about artifacts held by agents or emmisaries?
What about artifacts held in groups?
I doubt there will be any placed in PC's in game 165.
Thanks!
