Re: Factional Capitals of the EB II time frame
The problem is that you can make either unique custom tiles or generic upgradeable settlements. Because of that, you can not have a unique settlement which defences (and size) are upgradeable. It's one or the other.
To use DotS as an example: you can make Constantinople a unique settlement since it's defences did not change that much during the late Middle Ages, but places like London or Paris did change a lot (so they have to use generic settlement upgrades).
Re: Factional Capitals of the EB II time frame
I don't think DotS are doing actual settlements yet, as far as i know they are working on custom tiles for their PSF's and other important parts of the map.
Re: Factional Capitals of the EB II time frame
Not generic ones, no. But they are open to custom settlements like Cordoba, Baghdad and Constantinople. It's in this post.
Re: Factional Capitals of the EB II time frame
is EB considering custom settlement tilwa, but that can't be altered?

Spot on, spot on ;)
Re: Factional Capitals of the EB II time frame
But one can adjust the strengh of the gates, walls and towers to avoid mashingun fire, right?
A small question aside: Is it generally possible to deny the attackers the siege towers, but instead to force them to sap or build battering rams? ( or to bring siege equipment with them )
Re: Factional Capitals of the EB II time frame
This is some stunning work by the OP! :thumbsup:
Even if these things never make their way into EBII it was a great read. Thanks! (if you're still around cmacq)

Haha, he is the genius behind the Lugiones preview. So, yeah, you could say he's still 'around'.
