Is this *really* that much of a problem.  Sure it can be *done*, but
reliably? And with enough TL's to be meaningful?

Much like the earlier proposals to enact code to encourage activity and so
on, you are proposing code solutions to issues that, IMHO, aren't *that*
unabalancing.

Since people keep citing the PMW as an example of this, witness that their
size has diminished over time as TL's have dissappeared, etctera.  Witness
also that they are being beat badly through the diplomacy of the surrounding
realms.  Even if the PMW were in its glory days right now, it wouldn't make
a diffrence, not when your facing pressure from two opposite ends of your
realm and your allies can't help you at all because their fighting for sheer
survival.

Sure, it's an "advantage" but I just don't see it as worthwhile to bother
about.

And again, losing any one particular battle or whatnot because they were
tricky with misdirects does not, in the large scheme of things, matter.  If
you use some strategy you should be able to anticipate or limit their
choices or limit the damage they can cause.   PMW raided my realm (Yssaria)
about a month or two ago, because of the situation they had something close
to free reign over a province or two for a few days, but by the end of the
week it had been a sound and fury signifing nothing.
