Bug conquering a fort

[DannyyBoyyy]

I created my own faction after completing the new storyline, and after conquering an entire faction (Alban), I noticed that one fort always reverts back to them. Everyone I capture the fort of "Dun Taruo", after about a day in game time I will get this message:

"Local rebellion!

The people of the Kingdom of Alban have taken up their weapons and have recovered Dun Taruo."

This happens instantly by the way, meaning the fort does not enter a "under siege" status, it just instantly reverts back to the kingdom of Alban. I have conquered this fort 10 times already. I've tried taking it for myself and giving it a sizable garrison, and I've tried giving it to a vassal and then ordering him to patrol around it. Every time the result is the same, and it's basically making it impossible to wipe out this faction. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

you are most likely playing the "Storyline Campaign". In this mode several forts and towns are not conquerable (by you or the AI) to prevent the story factions from being destroyed. You will need to finish the storyline first, so your game changes to "Sandbox mode"

if that is not the case upload your savegame so devs can look into it

-> new storyline (Ireland) has no conection with the classic "Storyline Mode" you start the game with

Yes, I am playing the storyline campaign. I ignored the original storyline quest and just leveled up until I got the new storyline, and I finished it. Does this mean I would have to do the original storyline as well before I can conquer the fort? I really don't wanna do that, because I've already played through it once before on a different character.

You must finish the main storyline for the limitations to disappear. Dun Taruo might play a role in the story, that´s why it´s protected.

yes.

Next time when you start a new game check the gamemode options. You can choose Storyline, Sandbox, Lordly or Royal Sandbox. You do not need to start a Storyline unless you want to.

(alternative that could break your game, so if you do it, do it at your own risk: use a savegame editor and change your mode to sandbox, global is campaign_type)

Continuing the Storycampaign is als opretty much useless now, since you have founded your own kingdom. To continue in the storyline, as you probably know, you need to choose to join Northymbre or West Seaxe as a vassal. So either try the savegame editor or start a new game. Otherwise your faction will be incorporated into the one you choose.

Does anyone know of a working up to date save game editor? I found a couple online but I'm not sure if they are updated and will work with the reforged edition of viking conquest.

The savegames are like Warband's, so they should all work if they work for Warband.
