Problem with Settlers Multiplayer maps

My Brother and I have spent many hours recently playing settlers RoaE together online.

It has become apparent that Settlers has a major fault that makes it pretty useless as a multiplayer game.

First of all the multiplayer maps provided with the game are shoddy.

Secondly the weaponary provided in the game is hardly sufficient to attack a fortified and armed city wall.

And finally many custom built maps provide too many resources so that unlimited walls can be built and armed to well to facilitate any sort of attack which ends up in a war of attrition or at worst a pointless struggle where bothe players are well fortified well stocked and basically at a stalemate.

Basically the game provides the avbility to make lovely fortified cities but does not provide the means to adequately destroy fortifications. For example a mobile catapult is not able to attck a fortified wall armed with a catapult without being destroyed. Pointless peice of equipment especially since it is the last available weapon.

Heritage of Kings is a far better game as players cannot hide behind walls and conflict is enevitable.

I like settlers but ROAE can easily become a stalemate or standoff situation that requires hours of game play to make the smallest of games - bit like the first world war - much time spend getting no where.
