Capturing a Fortress in a PvP MMO like Warhammer Online should be a significant achievement and should come with meaningful and unique rewards to motivate players. Here are some unique possible rewards:
BUT BEFORE ALL THAT : i (and many other people) think defeated players should gain more rewards. More crests, more reknown, more everything when loosing a scenario/keep/fortress.
2ND EDIT : What Juppee and Garamore said is true, we shouldnt tie any buff/stats to it (except for outnumbered faction)
Yes, we don't need buffing stats rewards (and 10% damage is really huge) but only cosmetics otherwise we will have more zerg then we already have.
We can also put a reward for the losing side, not only the winning side. Reward people that are trying, despite being not successful.
1. Mount of the General
Description: A unique mount for GM or Raid Leader (designed by guild) that can be carried, providing a small but noticeable boost to all nearby allies in PvP combat.

Duration: 7 days or until lost.
2. Keepsake of the Fallen
Description: A rare trinket obtained from fallen enemies within the keep. Grants the wearer increased renown gain and a minor boost to damage against enemy players within a specific zone.
Effect: +10% Renown gain,
Duration: 3 days.
3. Trophy of the Conqueror
Description: A cosmetic trophy item that can be displayed on the player's character. It shows their prowess in battle, making them stand out in PvP areas. The trophy also grants a minor aura that intimidates nearby enemies, slightly reducing their morale gain.

In this chest, put VERY rare items with a 0,1% droprate, like a permanent mount / unique weapon mog for example. Like the Baron mount drop in WoW, it give a permanent reason to do a Fortress battle !
