voted for option 1. Can someone explain to me how a balance calculated for a small battlefield will behave during a siege, if the battlefield during a siege is significantly larger than usual... and the movement range of units remains unchanged. The attacking side will take a very long time (compared to a normal battle) to reach the enemy under the fire of their archers and towers.
Dear Dak! As far as I know, the battlefield during a siege will be larger (I don't know exactly how much). I hope this information is confirmed... :o
