I have 2 major ideas regarding banner protection. One is a pvp banner disabling system, and the other deals with natural banner protection

In pvp, banners allow you to protect all of your stuff, regardless of what the other person has. I think that a system of challenging protection would be good for pvp servers and for my second suggestion. Here is how it would work: If you entered some one's banner protection, a new tab/option would be added to your L menu. It would allow you to challenge their protection, if they were online. To neutralize the protection, you would have to kill all hired units of the banner's faction and the player that controlled it. That way you wouldn't have to kill someone's hired rangers if they used a lorien banner, or vice versa. The person who controlled the banner would have to be within the claim 10 minutes after you challenged them, or it would be an automatic win for them. If there were multiple people online added to that banner, you would have to kill all of them that entered the banner claim within that 10 minutes. If the person who challenged is successful, and he kills the claimer, then either the banner would be broken, or the block it was placed on would explode/turn to stone. If the claimer is successful and survives for 15 minutes after the other person challenged it, then he would be given 25 alignment with the banner's faction. Additionally, during the attack, the challenger would be able to break certain blocks on that claim, such as the brick of the banner's faction.

In natural generated structures, banners should spawn with alignment locks dependent on how important the structure is. For major ones like Minas Tirith, it would be at like 1500 alignment. On minor ones like ranger camps, only like 300 alignment. If you challenged this protection, you would have to kill all of the NPC's of that faction in that claim. This would prevent structures like Erebor from being an easy way to get tons of free loot, and add further realism, as NPC's would care, to a degree, if you were destroying their home.
