Houses that are given with the pledge packages are not owned by you, they are considered "government" buildings for lack of a better term. Meaning if you are a Mayor and you have a Villa from your package it's considered the Mayors house and should you ever lose the title of Mayor that house would be given to the new Mayor and you'd lose it. Same goes for Count and Duke with the Manor houses. The fact these are government buildings means if you're mayor of a settlement I see it being a requirement that it's placed in that settlement.
All I've seen says the opposite. A settlement has to have certain municipal buildings in order to advance to the next tier. One of those is a town hall which is where the town management table sits. It's these buildings that are lost not someone's personal house.
In theory you could still have land within the town you just lost with a stronghold sitting on it.
Those houses that you get from pledged packages are not your personal house, they come with the title that you are acquiring, they are in essence the exact same as how the White House works in America. If a president is no longer president they have to leave the White House and the next president moves in. Trump moved into the White House, the White House was not owned by Obama.
but we are not talking of the white house, we are talking of a player housing if you put on gov owned land when building it then too bad you'll most definitly loose it but if you place it on your own privatly owned piece of land I don't think it makes any sense to loose it while loosing the title, just like saying, obama bought a plot of land with his president salaryand the built a house on it then, once he looses the title he looses the house.
Look at his quote from Caspian. Didn't make sense to me either. I looked in the quote section of our discord and found it myself.
[6:51 PM] Count Odsbodikins: Caspian, it's been mentioned that there will be a Mayor's house by some folks, will there be a house that changes hands based on who is mayor, or is my home that I get while mayor mine to keep?
[6:59 PM] Caspian: As for the second question, our intention was that players have their family home, which they inherit from their parents. The Villa / Manor that comes with the Magistrate / Governor+ Pledge Packages were intended to be buildings to be constructed within the settlement for the Mayor / Baron to live in while Mayor / Baron, for as long as they hold the title.
[7:00 PM] SoulSpark: So as a Baron I will get a Villa (apparently it's being added to the kickstarter Baron pledge) but that house will only be mine for the duration I am mayor. What if I was to use EP to purchase another house, would that be 100% mine?
[7:01 PM] Caspian: @SoulSpark You can use your EP for whatever you want. If you build a house off on land you own that's not part of the settlement, then yes. It's yours.
There it is in context. Like I said, I hope they announce it soon... people not playing the discord game are out of the loop and even people that do apparently....
