Myself as previously diplomat for the Crusaders of Acre at this moment in time would attempt to broker a peace contract with you and a possible trade agreement, for me seeing as we have had the worst of the fighting my suggestion would look something like:
You have everything North and East of Alburq (minus Jeirbe) seeing as Alburq has become your stalemate currently, so it would seem a logical point. Furthermore we would then broker contracts with you in regards to supply, fighting troops, mercs and gold. In return we would reclaim Jayek, Fearichen and Ismirala, in this way you have gained;
2 towns
1 Castle
5 Villages
^And that is just counting what you have taken your self, if we look elsewhere we have still come off worse.
Unfortunately that is not my jurisdiction so i cannot promise nor give anything forward.
Secondly your suggestions for the agreement of besieging wooden castles would work. The first one not so much but the second one i could live with (no forward spawns, no catas) yes i would agree to that one without a shadow of a doubt, but again that is something everyone has to agree on.
As for the weapon racks, it is against the rules i think to hog them all on one team and it is common courtesy to not do it, the last siege we had 1 or 2 weapon racks at one time, no more than that and only one healing tent. It is a mutual agreement that is really unspoken that people still playfair by common courtesy of not being arseholes by taking all the limits to the max.
Dear Sir Cymro,
We arent interessted in peace negotiations since we have little to gain from it, strategically your position in this war is in the gutter, even if you have managed to defend Alburq castle a couple of times. You have still lost 3 cities, 1 castle and no less than 10 villages. Your trade is weak if not noneexisting. Your lands have been ripped apart, divided, surrounded and you are pinched between several enemy clans, you cant hardly travel outside of your fiefs, your at war with 8-12 (guessing)clans and your former allies/vasalls are leaving you as we speak.
Our position is different, we are friends with those clans that are at war with you, we help them, we have free trade, we have enough armies and constantly buying/grinding new ones, we are organised on the map like a machine, we have an overflow with gold and gear. If we need to, we could strike with 10 armies in 4 days more or less anywhere in the east, and then come with reinforcements a couple of days later.
And Cymro, if circumstances were different I think you and me could get along just fine on the same side of this war, but thats not the situation now, and if we should sign that peace we would have been trashed at the first oppurtunity by your clan. So no, we are happy with the situation and our many friends in this war.
As for the sieges, well like I said those two examples were merely to point out how an agreement could be done, others could try and find solutions for it, those with more experience.
Strudog, I dont think the wooden walls not being able to brake is intentional either - meaning this is just something that isnt ready yet, much like for example the weaponrack situation. The key isnt the catapults here, the key is balancing the game ourselfs until devs do it properly later - like we have done with the weaponrack. And by the way, u shot me while I was jumping from a siegetower last siege, do your stones pass thure people or do they just stop when hitting for example old granmas? Nice shot by the way
