Yeah that is a good idea.

I think that is a good solution, Kimball, that way everybody wins. More options is always a good thing. And I agree, territories should be default.

I disagree. Firstly, I don't think this is meant to be a fast paced game like Starcraft or others of that nature. Second, building barracks right outside a base and rushing isn't very realistic for a historic game. When you're waging a war, you're going to march your army into enemy territory. You're not going to be able to start recruiting locals as soldiers right outside of their own city. Edit - I see others addressed this before me, but I'll add my two cents
