Factional Capitals of the EB II time frame

[Horatius Flaccus]

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).

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.

[Horatius Flaccus]

Not generic ones, no. But they are open to custom settlements like Cordoba, Baghdad and Constantinople. It's in this post.

[fomalhaut]

is EB considering custom settlement tilwa, but that can't be altered?

Well, the EB Team took out huge walls for a good reason. For my part, I personally took out large walls also. IMHO, they kind of ruin city battles, as I prefer urban street fighting over wall battles and MG42-equipped towers.

Spot on, spot on ;)

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 )

This is some stunning work by the OP!

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'.
