A repeated complaint in regards to wars on LOTC is how each of them seem to be declared to exterminate a playerbase.
If we have more battles, more warclaims and warclaims that aren’t against capitals with the risk of playerbase-destruction, then does not that not benefit the server?
More sieges & battles could be further enhanced if sides in a war could enforce peace after winning some sieges. EG, take this land, this title, instal this claimant, etc. All limited, of course, just to promote the winning side enforcing something else than complete destruction of the loser.
I can only see a benefit in more forts popping up. As long as they aren’t ridiculously excessive, I don’t see any other argument against them than the below:
“I seek to exterminate this nation as quick as possible, and as cheap as possible. Thus, I want as few sieges between me and my end-goal as possible.”
