EU most renowned whorehero I hope devs will at least read this wall of text:
Strat 4 was so pussy because he was favoring the defender's side.
Anti-UIF was first to do a massive strike(7k or something) on Jameyyed castle at the beginning of Strat 4. They backed off after our first successful defense(since we brought a lot of reinforcements it was useless to attack us & give us free equip which was extremely valuable at that time)
UIF gone inactive shortly after we tried to do a massive strike on Tshibtin(3 GO, 3 DRZ, 2 Bashi armies(1.8k each) failed to take one village due to nonstop reinforcements)
Then Anti-UIF tried to finish GO. So many identical battles on the same maps. GO while doing nothing had insane tickets farm & free gear from attackers enough to defend forever.
Same happened at the end. No COA core fief was taken. It was impossible to take them down even in UIF had a year more.
My suggestions:
-attacker keeps unused(retreat due timer or QMRS) tickets & equip. If flags are capped then all stuff(& optionally tickets) goes to the capper . If all attacker's troops dead he'll not be able to keep gear of coarse(all gear to def in that case)
-no used gear are saved(only the one that players have on them at the end of the battle). Winner or loser, you don't have anything from the battle. No more equip bugs, no equip disadvantages, no more of this retarded sorting & selling after each battle. Also, this will make factions poorer, so less plate shiny armies.
-Max garrison couldn't be more than population(or 1k-2k village, 3 castle, 5 city) That will force clans to get rid of extra troops all the time. No more 40k garrisons, more good battles, more dynamic Strat. Also you could do free garrison upkeep, but troop numbers more than mentioned above will have to be paid as an field army. So even 10k garrison would make you bankrupt in a month.
Minor tweaks:
allow remote fief management(you could also add some delay to execute decisions like changing owner, prosperity, tax etc. Add medieval messenger simulator
)
