Once an enemy troop is inside a castle, I'd say the defense bonus for the castle owner's troops should be less. Perhaps halved. This would only apply to an enemy troop that is actually inside the castle, however. For instance, ranged troops firing from outside the castle would not get this advantage.

I base this on the idea that once your castle walls are breached you are in a desperate fight with less cover and more to lose.

like it

My experience has been (and I have plenty with my walls being breached is that once they are breached, it's already chaotic enough and the defender is already almost guaranteed to total annihilation.

I don't think this is necessary... IMHO

This is imho an adult level strategy game that may be reduced to child's play by making it too easy.
Folks should try betting an opponent in a Duel that they can eliminate them in X# of turns and they may find that the game is more fun than just making quick kills to enhance ranks.

castle bonus is more then just your walls it is also home field advantage , when you are defending your home you will fight harder and smarter and the closer it is to being lost the harder you will fight

so no you shouldnt lose it it should get bigger :p

IMHO since you cant improve the strength of your walls once you've used the "Castle Walls" upgrade and a 10-pop cat will squash them in one hit it would make it too easy to take castles if the defence bonus was reduced.

Siege warfare took time & while I admit it can be frustrating trying to finish a pretty much dead opponent, it just adds one more nuance that you have to consider when planning your "world domination" strategy!!

easy enough now to take a castle don't make it any easier please.

OK, sounds like this idea has been rejected by the majority... I'll close the thread.
