What a shame.
Ban a player for thinking on his feet and bringing a new stratagem, a new way to defend, that is completely legal, and in my eyes just AWESOME? So he thought of a new way to use deployable siege, what is the problem?
When artillery no longer has any ammo, and the other faction are on inner, I tow it a tight place and drop it as a barrier. Might as well use it for something. I do this no matter what realm I play. And other players do it too, on destro as well as order. I do not see the problem.
The problem is mentality 'what is not expkicitly forbidden is allowed' without any deeper thought if it is actually working as expected.
Sort of adds some other aspects to the game and has some strategic considerations .
The only thing that maybe would make barricades not a good idea is that they can only be placed and moved by their own side. If usable by both sides then it’s clearly a risk /reward thing
The problem is the defenders that already got it much easier than attackers. Also, there is also issue with blocking the lord with siege weapons, whicj directly connects to the 'use siege to shot only'. Ofc we can introduce back the spawn plates from live...
