I never see them anymore.

But I am glad to know they still happen.
Well, perhaps the number could be increased? Sniping from cliffs and islands is a lot of fun and adds a very real guerrilla element to the game (not that there isn't one already).
I dunno, it seems like something that is do-able and would really expand the necessity to travel the whole map, not to mention legitimize having bases in places that aren't Stary and the North. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
