am i the only one who thinks that hiding in ones castle is a really boring tactic?

i am fighting someone who has 18 marks all tuck away in his castle.

This is a sore point with many!! It is legal, but it sort of sucks. You can get them, though.

it is extremly difficult to do i fought someone who did that i just waited for him and the battle just ended as he stayed there.

Well just check the rankings... if your opponent is 2nd send him a message that you don't have a problem with waiting since he's going to loose. If you are second.. send in your ranged and take out enough to get 1st then retreat and send the same message as above... take a while but will teach people using the stay-at-home-strat that it doesn't work!
