Burning trees will be great. It will probably give you such a tremendous feeling of POWER. =P

Unfortunately it's not all that stealthy.
I wonder how long it will be before people will start accusing other players of arson.

And then i'll own while you guys are fighting i'll plant a forest around the area and lay thousands of archers around the outside, then when you come burn it down you all get owned

But i would like to see people being able to plant trees for practical and strategic purposes, and of course burning forests down. Also invading armies should be able to set fire to buildings outside the enemy town i think like pillaging.

In that case though I would want to be evil because I like burning things.

But this also has a huge impact on gameplay.

Just think about it - every two of your units which enemy kills gets them a unit of their own. As a result - we expect to see:
-fewer, but much more epic battles – players will be careful to only start a battle if they think they can win, or have no other choice.
-from time to time even 1 battle which will decided fate of the game. 3 players on 1 side and 3 on the other, 6,0000 units total after 10 minute build-up, come to face each other. Hell yeah

-and this renders any "unit spawning", or other mass production strategies useless.

Anyhow back to the topic of carrying your army and land. Yeah - what is the best way to grow the trees back? Would you rather see this done automatically, or have some tree-planting feature? Like a forester building?

How about taking prisoners or execute the inhabitants of the conquered place?
