Personally I would like to be able to mod castle income to the negative, so that maintaining a castle will cost you. That would mean fewer castles=>less micromangement=>happier Esben But Norfleet's tactic is fair and square, and I respect him for not only coming up with it but freely sharing it with the rest of us.

He didn't 'come up with it', he only uses it in every single game even if it would not be to his benefit. It has always been there and there have always been ways around it that anyone can use and don't use more resources than the castling to do. While tedious and annoying, boring and effictive against those who have a hard time mustering a defense against it, there is no reason that a defensive stance shouldn't be able to be taken in Dominions. Turtlers are a part of every game Dominions 2 just happens to have a very loud one that plays games consistantly against a caliber of player he can beat easily regardless of tactics.
I'm sure if there is room for improvement, but not because you can castle spam, but because some Castles are just 'bleh'.
