Well, -4 is pretty bad but it's not a total catastrophe. Remember, 
the result scale goes down to -8 (and beyond). In my book, -4 is 
'Serious failure' but not more. But I agree, you could rip some
fun out of it :)

You had bad luck (a roll of -3). I know it's frustrating to come up with a
good idea and see it turn to nothing just because of the die roll, but I'm
afraid there's no other solution for it other than come up with another
good idea. At least you can have some fun with the -4 result. Find some
traitors among the catapult crews, make them bombard and kill the visiting
Grand General, and then hang 'em - things like that ;-).
