2 Things this game desperately needs

Yes, this is a good point. I was thinking more in the line of another option. Like being able to perform Alchemy and it doesn't cost an action.....i.e. the mage may still do something else. Having an action like "Defend Territory". And once that is clicked, have that option change to "Defend Castle". That way, you could decide whether or not to retreat to the castle or stay outside to fight the abominable hordes that wish to see you dead.

Gandalf, your points are well taken, but still miss the point. Changing ownership is not a good option. How does this work when you are building 70 percent of an elephant per turn. Who gets the elephant when ownership changes...or does it disappear? Either way....

If you don't have a spell researched that does what you suggest or if you don't have stealthy units, or the units aren't stealthy that you want to allow....that won't work. I like the castle idea, but costs a lotta money, and leaves that province at risk.
