I was reading where it's 300_Gold per Another idea is if you are currently the strongest... send a message thru the game to your opponents saying,"If you build a castle on our borders and I will consider this an act of war." Even someone of equal strength could be intimidated as a result.

If somebody were to say that, I would immediately deploy for war, since that is obviously his intention anyway: The only reason you'd be concerned about your opponent building castles is if you plan to imminently attack him, and thus want him to be weak and exposed: Otherwise, an opponent who castles is actually working in YOUR favor, since he will not be able to effectively conduct an offensive operation against YOU without rendering his castles irrelevant. Given that such a message obviously indicates an imminent desire to invade you, appeasement is out of the question. I think we learned enough about that in WW2.
