CFP3157'S EDGES OF MASSIVE DESTRUCTION: "Excellent argument on the importance of fire"

Attacker
Overrun Castle: Eh, maybe. With the several different options of getting inside of the castle, whether through brute force like the battering ram or deception like the miners,, Lloyd can get into the castle rather easily. However, keepin his men inside is going to be an incredible challenge. With the tight quarters of the castle, Markus' pikemen are going to clog the hallways with their pikes while the swordsmen cover their rears and flanks. If the armies reach that point, it'll be a standstill for the two forces.

Force a Surrender: No, not possible. Both Great Captains have an amazing reputation as leaders, and both deserve the titles. However, Markus' men are boudn to their charismatic leader and will not leave his side.

Defender
Force Attacker Surrender: Nope, not happening. Lloyd may still be a merc. but his reputation preceeds him and his tactics will help him in the long run. Markus and Lloyd will not end this diplomaticly, there's no chance with men as loyal as these behind each of them.

Annhilate Attackers: Possible, but not likely. The trebuchet's and archers are going to decimate those that choose to come via ladders or the foot soldiers. However, those two things alone won't destroy Lloyd's army. For this annihilation to even happen, Markus' only chance is to get the attackers in where he can butcher them with a wall of large pikes or bow waves.

Survive 4 Months: Possible, best choice. Markus' an army to last well into the siege, and even if Llloyd's army does get in Markus has an army built to defend in the close quarters of the castle.

Tie
Lolno, nothing is getting done here and it's not even worth it.

Single Combat
Long Range: Lloyd Kumar

Neither is getting past the other's armor, but I'll humor you Leo. The Composite Bow Lloyd uses has that boost of poison, so it gets this otherwise even edge.
