Return of Reckoning

Issue:
This will give heavily outnumbered defenders a better fighting chance and will ensure that posterns are never locked if the pop is somewhat equal for both realms -- keep sieges are already hard and tedious enough in the case of equal numbers.

Did you even read your own proposal? This ...

Normally I agree with you on a lot of ideas but these would be horrible for the game. Looking through the list of changes the core issue you seem to have with the current state of sieges is the power of oil but the changes you want to make here have some absolutely broken interactions to the point ...

We could just baseline Shinnies like so many other addons that have been baselined over the years.

The game wants a strong single core on your cpu, a large amount of cpu cashe, and ram. you gpu barley maters to it. So look for something with a x3d amd processer and overclock at least 1 thread for it.
