Well, Brokencrowe, you're right, it is just a home for a few people. However, if you look at the conquest claims on other cities, towns, and villages, most of the time it is to remove them. Thus, destroying the homes of players. So, essentially all conquest claims are a "little more than unfair."
Also, as I've said again and again and again, we're not only in it for the fact that it's a tower in the woods. We'd like to create a square, connecting Ursakar to the Great Hall, the hall to the ruins and the ruins to the tower and finally, linking the tower to Ursakar. Creating a network of paths allowing the noble family to move freely without having to deal with whatever is going on up above.
