First I would like to apologize if I have offended anyone, as that was not my intent. It is one thing to critique an action taken by someone and another to critique that person. I think that you both are intelligent people and I respect greatly your roleplaying ability. That being said even the best generals make mistakes, and the have to pay for them in kind. We have seen time and time again in ASOIAF where an otherwise intelligent player in the game of thrones, makes a mistake and pays for it with their lives. I am curios as to what Acheron and Gunslinger's take would be on this as they are both as close as we can get to objective 3rd parties. Secondly, if we decide to change the rules, and that is a big if, I would go with something along the lines of rule B proposed above. But that being said if we go with that I think it shold be modified. The modification I would make is that players only have to pay double for troops they are purchasing to fight at the city being besieged. If they want to use those troops in another battle they don't have to pay double for them. By your logic above, why should I have to pay double for my Knights of Flowers and Battering Ram fighting at Sunspear, if it is Yronwood that is under attack? I think that this makes perfect sense and would also limit the power of besieging which we are looking to do. We also have to keep the rule that you can not send gold to an ally to purchase troops for a city under siege. That being said, my whole point is that the other rule changes we have made have been pro-active and before they came into play. This rule change appears to be re-active and a last ditch effort to help a player who made a mistake. (Again I am not calling you stupid, on the contrary I think entirely the opposite, but hasn't Martin taught us that in Westeros you pay for your mistakes, and when you play the Game of Thrones you win or you die.) |
