    I assume that you mean many wall sections built from a turret. Easily fixable by requiring a minimum angle between them.

    I assume that you mean for example the "lethal deathboat" with 17 catapults. Could probably be fixed with some effort.

    I assume that you mean infinite food from corrals or fields combined with bartering in the market. This gives infinite resources, limited by the time the market needs for the barter rate to regenerate between barters. Seems like a feature. If it can somehow be done instantly it is a bug and probably fixable.

    Of the exploits smiley points, only autotrain pertains to nani's mod, which is actually a feature of it and not widely used.

    I think by stacked walls he meant layers of palisades.

    By stacked siege, a formation trick that leaves units on top of each other, the exact same spot, imagine 10 catas shooting where you can only see one.

    Cata ships are a vanilla feature and by the way you only need 9 catas inside, the other 8 were adding nothing.

    The market trick(s) are(were) old and fixed. Found and reported by principality: float value gives infinite resources and shift clicking insanely long route between near points for adjacent markets.
