[Clinton Bolinger]

- Allow launching balls from your court yard, but not from the neutral zone.
- Remove Category A & C Defenses. Putting the following defenses out for every match:
-- Low Bar
-- Rockwall
-- Rough Terrain
-- Moat
-- Ramparts
- Bolt the defenses down instead of using the "pins"
- Breach is 5/5 Defenses

Most of my reasons for removing the defense selection is to increase field reset times which will allow for more matches. At IRI the defenses will be breached over 90% of the time (MSC has a breach of 96%). Also, the strategic advantage of selecting your defenses will be much less.

Stronghold is a very strategic game but most people are delusional when thinking the large portion of the strategy comes from picking the defenses.
