Default Re: Yet another Clamhoarding, Castling Discussion

Yes, to be honest, Im not sure how vitriolic the debates have been about it only that it always seems to spawn large threads.

I'm not so sure a charge of micro management can be laid against it either to be honest, there is no adjustment or constant retweaking each turn for each castle, other than sending any commander at all there and selecting construct, thats about it.

Now a charge of overt micromanagement in my mind is seperating units on the tactical screen to try script mages casting single target buffs on Groups of normal foot troops. I just cant seem to force myself into that one yet.

The upkeep cost of a castle might work I suppose or allowing fliers to storm castle without breaking walls. I've not really thought about ways of restricting or overcoming it as I see it as a viable use of the cruddy castles and I dont see a massive advantage to it.

Now clam hoarding, thats a different one, I aint got my head round that yet either.
