most of the fun in strat is battling and helping your clan take territory, now even the larger clans struggle to get enough troops and gold together to attack even a village. at this rate it will be months and months before anyone goes after a castle or an actual war happens. your stated goal for this iteration of strat was to make it more interesting to be a regular player and you did the exact opposite, before at least i had battles to fight and places to move into, now i just sit in a fief grinding out well-bred sheep. i haven't even moved from the fief i'm in since i got here i think 3 weeks ago now
