Not a bad little preview, certainly keeps wetting the appetite as we wait for Kingdoms to land!

I don't know. So far it seems the more I learn about Kingdoms the more "eh" I get about it. The mini-campaigns are cool, but if it doesn't really change the main game I don't know if it would be worth the price of admission. Maybe if they made them fairly cheap downloadable add-ons with a patch that gave new balance features and all the mod-making features.

Oil!!! Finally oil at the gates:

"If your fortresses are advanced enough, they can rain down boiling oil on those pesky troops using a ram at your gates."

Pouring boiling oil would be about as smart as using molten gold, nowadays. Oil is just far too expensive in medieval Europe to be pouring gallons of it on the ground.

Sand, on the other hand, is actually far worse than oil, when heated, and plentiful.

yup... im burned by oil... on my arm... and it took an hour actually to really burn... it takes longer and does less damage than water or sand.

Canon as in a member of a chapter, or a monk. Reinstating oil might be unbalancing methinks.

I wonder what it would do to the use of rams? Boiling oil, or sand or water or whatever...
