I think that the Castle, woods, village and sup air gives the whole games a good variation to individual players preference. I like the woods and my lad likes the sup air. Two types of play, same day same time.
Personally I think the village is the hardest playing area, as both sides can be in at the same time and either control the whole area or be very close to each other. The castle on the other hand is nearly always one or the other! First in best dressed, and keeping the other side at bay. If everyone rushed the castle at the same time, obviously players would get shot but so would the other side resulting in a change control.
