Encirclement of city & river

Not much point to either, just makes already difficult terrain even more confusing for noobs.

I think similar ideas have been brought up already and were also shot down.

Yes, I think that's right Iron.

I say noob because it is quick and easy to type and most noobs call themselves noobs.

Gather round me my knights!!! We shall encircle the castle and force them to surrender! Fire your arrows at anyone who dare escape! *launches catapult*

An interesting idea to be sure and one that would add a cool dynamic....

... but also a level of complexity that isn't supported elsewhere in the game; Supply lines would be awesome and would bring the notion of logistics more clearly into play but also make the game less user friendly. If CoW gets to the point where it is(mostly?!) bug free and proposed units like aircraft carriers and the parabutters are implemented properly, new maps et cetera come online than maybe the devs could look to creating more complex gold-rounds but for the general unwashed masses of us, the cleaner and simpler the game is to understand and get into, the better.
