I was wondering if its possible for devs to change the activation radius of the siege flag. One good way to implement the siege/battles in strategus would be to make flags of a custom size to include the majority of the town. The time it takes for the flag to go all the way to the ground will be 3 minutes with the same rules as siege.
The purpose of this is to prevent delayers. With the new loot rules where the goal is to capture the village so if everyone in the village is killed or all the respawn flags are taken down. In quite a few strategus battles the last players just run off into a random direction and hide just to annoy the attackers or delay. This way the attackers will try to take the town and the defenders will actually have to stay put or else they risk losing.
