Some Simple Siege-Related Requests...

[Barbarian]

And as for sieges when the player is on the offensive, please include some diplomacy system where you agree not to 'exterminate populace' or something along those lines in order for the defenders to surrender and perhaps be freed.
These changes would be so easy to do, and would improve gameplay massively.

I like this suggestion. Moreover, it is 18th century, not the 13th, exterminating shouldn't happen so often.

And not to mention the AI MUST unload all ammo before attacking, even if that means tediously moving their cannons to the other side of the castle...

That's true. I never understand why they need 10 holes in the walls, when 2 are enough to get into the city quickly
