Siege and general gameplay direction. At the moment, there's too much emphasis on the keeps. Some people may disagree with me on this (and I'm sure most of them will be supporters of mass AoE) but the game seems basically to resolve to "We're outnumbered, retreat to keep where we can try to farm them" or "We outnumber them, push to their keep". There's no real concept of a middle phase, or indeed any kind of advancement in the engagement. There's no room for any real strategy and the only real tactics I've seen are baiting people from a keep with fake retreats or hiding behind a wall waiting to ambush people who can't see you. As long as the emphasis remains on this type of gameplay, and keeps are kept as enclosed meatgrinders with one attack strategy (the doors), things will remain uninteresting.

The above is why I mentioned siege towers and Orcapults. There should be multiple ways of attacking a keep, and thus defending one should require multiple approaches from the defenders. So there should be slow, vulnerable siege weapons that have to be bought and transported around in order to open up multiple avenues of assault - IF the defenders fail to contest them, either by sending a force to attack the weapon directly or by using their own siege weapons to destroy it.
