Actually, it might need to be even more. Balloon & Assassins aside, it is 7 territories away to annihilate both enemy camps, but only 5 to annihilate the castle.

The 4 quarters can individually attack a tower or dock and quickly move on to the enemy, while only one base ship can attack a supply ship and all three can attack the landing point - which is still 3 territories away from attacking your opponent (unlike the towers).
Not only is it bottle-necked on either side of your primary starting positions, but the blue side has a big advantage early on to use all their forces. Whereas red's first turn is pretty much useless. They attack the landing point or supply ship and then reinforce. Meanwhile blue might already be on top of your artillery.
lostatlimbo wrote:Red is further handicapped by having two camps to the one castle. Though Red only needs to defend one camp, that other 5 troops is set far back from the front lines, whereas - again - blue can use all 4 of its quarters simultaneously.
If you make it one camp and give red a force closer to the artillery, then make more connections between Base Ships and supply ships, that will help some.

How did you get look for land on map? What program do you use? Is it free?
I'm using GIMP myself.

Or else you could simple call the map "Besiege", though I rather like the "Clash of Kings" logo. Let me know if you want a back story, DiM, I'm sure I could whip one up

i'll mention it

Seems like if you were trying to take a castle by siege, you would want to cut off their supply too.
I'm not sure if that would improve gameplay or not, but I'm a stickler for story.

realism-wise it'd make a whole lot more sense for an attacker to attack a supply caravan then vice versa but gameplay wise i'm not so sure.

you're both right
realism-wise the attacker would have huge forces and even get reinforcements while the defender would slowly starve until defeated or until it surrenders. but as we all know gameplay trumps realism. if i were to make this as realistic as possible the defender would probably have to lose the game each and every time
