Garoninja's point about the attackers needing numerical superiority has merit. Traditionally in medieval warfare Castles where overcome with Siege engines & Catapults/Trebuchet's etc. A besieging army would be considerably larger and suitably equipped.
In PS we dont have these weapons hehe. Archery isnt implemented, & if it were, would give advantage to the defenders. Magic (if agreed to utilise it) can be an effective archery replacement.
I recently envisaged a large dwarven army attacking the BD fortress. Countless they were hehe. Many guilds as one. Easily identified as the assaulting enemy hehe.  So yes I agree, the defending garrison should be outnumbered.

Defend the Fortress.

Guildwars in Planeshift are a problem. Simply put the War would lack an objective. No point in
killing one another if nothing can be achieved.
With this in mind Felinius, Sanxx & myself, came up with this idea :

Two teams, one team defends the Fortress at the Bronze Doors. The other assaults it. The winner being the team
who accomplishes its aims. Namely the defenders successfully "Holding the Fort", Or the Attackers taking it.
Either way both sides have a real objective.

The other problem with PS guildwars, is how you measure how the battle is going for your team at any given
point in time. For that we devised the Warcounter but that hasnt worked out. The beauty of "Defend the Fortress", is that
its not important. Its patently obvious whos winning. Because knowbody respawns at BD. The Victory goes to the survivors at the fort.

Another selling point is No Lag & out of prying Rp'ers eyes. We can conduct our "exercises", at BD with inpunity.

Now the details :
1) Each team has a Muster point. For the attacking team its the Ruins near Canyt (npc).  For the defenders its the Eagles head.

2) Teams must agree the numbers of each side PRIOR to battle.

3) Each participant on each side must enable "Auto Accept" for challenges.

4) Teams must agree on combat restrictions, ie no Magic etc. Or "No Rules", hehe.

5) Equipment or magical items including GM armour must be agreed with on both sides to use.

6) Form 1 group for each side. These groups will then be the 2 sides.

Once the battle is over one side will occupy the fortress whilst everyone else is in the DR. You can all then head back to BD & have
another go hehe. Yes the Battles will be short..Yes you can have as many on each side as you like. Potracted wars are boring. This wont be hehe.

We suggested using a campfire as a "Capture the flag" Icon, but this isnt nessesary.

Well i think the DlayoSlayer Tourney went well... My special thanks to Dalot and Perlan for covering me, & allowing me to focus on timekeeping and killcounts. Phaat & Dalot Tied the tourney and will settle the Tie with a best of 3 Duel. The Prizemoney including takings was 670k.

Results :  Phaat =11 ,Dalot =11, Odin = 10, Landolinus =10 Akashani =9, Kiqamu = 8, Egelorie = 6, Erekno = 5, Leafy & Perlan = 2 each

Hehe can i post now?
Magic/Magery is hard sought, hard earned. Only a few true mages. The balance is right. in terms of magery. Some of the spells are being worked on to right the wrongs.
But essentailly Mages are Contrite & arrogant - They can be.
