Best anti-personel siege weapon....

[Joe_Nvidio828]

I read that it was the catapault? I think it may be..What do you think?

[TheViking]

I dont know anything about, its not often at all i use siege weapon, not even when im about to assault a castle

[HopAlongBunny]

From my exp either the demi-cannon or demi-culvern. Catapults seem to hit nothing more often than not. Still I think catapults are better than treb's or magonels

[Crosstowntraffic]

Huh... I'm not sure on that. I'm pretty sure it's the trebuchet, if i'm not mistaken.

[Cooperman]

For anti-personnel it has to be the catapult since it can turn in battle and the rock after hitting bounces along the ground inflicting further casualties on any in its path.
Trebs and mangonels are only good for attacking castles not against people.
How often they hit is determined by the units valor but they take out the enemies generals more often that not http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Crosstowntraffic]

Is that so? I was unaware of that. thanks for that bit of information, sir.

[Dijeeh]

I don't really know what's best.

I use my siege unit's to break down the walls to a castle, then set it to Fire At Will, It will somtimes target Troops if there are no walls to hack down.

I use Trebuchete's in Sieges, All the other siege unit's don't seem to hit much.

My Catapult had missed 4/5 of it's shot's trying to hit a gate well within it's range, It nearly blew down the wall next to it due to it's bad accuracy.

no doutebly Sepatine crew they are sctully suppose to be artillary anti cannons (i think) and they have great aim with enough valour. dam things killed my general enough times.

[Alrowan]

cats are in my opinion, but then agian, im yet to try cannons when the enemy gets closer

[Shahed]

I think catapults and serpentines have served my armies equally well.

[MrJedi]

Serps, undoubtedly. I use them all the time when i'm attacking over a river. Once they have 3-4 valour, they're pretty accurate. Once I'm sending guys over and the enemy gathers at the other side, I'm killin loads at a time.

[The Marcher Lord]

All cannon are good at short range. Catapults, with their bouncing multiple hit potential are good at long range.

[Joe_Nvidio828]

Thanks guys. Looks like im gonna make me some serps and cats..

A double welcome goes to Joe_Nvidio828 and Crosstowntraffic. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif It seems the new year brings interesting user names http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

[MrJedi]

Serpentines bounce too

I think most of the guns do

[jLan]

Serpentines own

[ZIM!]

yeah the key to using these weapons is that the target should be not moving and in close formation prolly good for attack when you need to 'entice' an enemy of a hill

[MasterM!nd]

Havent played long enough to have reached the advanced cannon siege engines, so my vote goes for party the catapult and that other one (crossbow kinda thing). Cos if the catapult finally hits it mostly gets more than 1 kill, on the other hand the crossbow siege thing is more precise but hardly ever kills more than one...

But for sure is that the first cannon thing you can get (the one I currently can build), sucks bigtime unless its on very very high ground compared to once own forces (it bloody hell slammed down my own king dammit)... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
