Do you mean Dominion of the Sword?
AFAIK the EB team is already using PSF's for that very purpose.

isn't there always a danger in making the provinces too close? i mean considering the AI's unwillingness to fight open battles, would this not result in total siedge warfare?
The map is being scaled up by 1.3x so there will be more space between cities.
Honestly, I would love EB2 to be Siege Total War. So much roleplaying...
Ugh, wat?
I hope (/trust) you're being sarcastic. There's too few large decisive major field battles as it is and too much besieging cities, sitting on your ass for a few turns, defeating sally attempts and moving onto the next siege. Add a few stacks of 2-3 units wandering around there and that's Total War for you.
I has two balloons!
aye, as a matter of fact, the most often used way to engage in a major battle for me is lay a siege when there is a large army around and wait for it to try to relieve the city. otherwise they just retreat before any decisive fighting starts even when outnumbering you 1:1.5 . i've tried to pursue with horse skirmishers but the casualties inflicted in this manner are neglectable. traps work sometimes but only if the terrain allows it.
however if the new map is 1.3 times larger then maybe there is more room for maneuvering. has there been an official preview of the new strategic map?
So what then? The AI can't defend every PSF, so we'll just walk in. Also, the sight of so many cities and forts under my control would be very gratifying.
That means small-scale minor front sieges, even better.Fixed, I believe. The AI can always keep one or two units in every PSF. Very rarely have I seen the AI completely abandon a settlement. Plus, I don't think PSFs can rebel. Am I correct in stating this?
