Seige Towers

[Azrael]

Hey Guys,

I would love to see the seige element of the game beefed up.

The opening movie is great, but I would have liked to see seige towers in the game.

On offence, it would be great to have Seige Towers and have your troops storm ramparts.

I'd love to see Battering Ram Units for the gates.

I want to shoot flaming missiles into castles and walled cities, and watch things burn.

On defence, I'd love to see archers on ramparts. Forget these "arrow towers".

Put troops up there to shoot at the enemy. Missile hits the wall, they die. Occupational hazard.

Put troops on the ramparts, so the attackers have to get their Seige Towers to gain access to the ramparts and then fight their way to the courtyard high on the castle walls.

Seiges are fun. Lets make them better for the game.

What do you all think?

It was mentioned that the game engine couldn't do it otherwise they would have i think.

Something to do with seige engines class moving that they couldn't manage(from memory).

But you are correct, it would be a great addition.

Siege towers unloading men on to the enemy walls would be a tad silly as the engine cant cope with men manning the ramparts at any rate.

Hope for the expansion or TW3
