Towers

[desert]

You know what would be awesome? If the siege weapon menu had more options.

Like, if we could build giant mounds of dirt, or tunnels, or even more versions of the siege towers. So we could have a second Helepolis, with giant katepeltai and lithoboloi that would reduce entire sections of the wall to rubble and kill hundreds of defenders.

What else could we include there?


Ohh, and of course countermeasures to siege weapons/tactics. In RTW, the only way to take out a siege tower or ram is basically to set it on fire. We should have cool stuff like men with ropes who would get the rope under the ram head and pull it up and drop it back down. And lithoboloi and katepeltai in the towers, so we don't need silly things like flaming arrows.

That's nice, why don't you figure out how to mod all that.

NO U.



I realize that it's impossible, but since everyone else is throwing around impossible ideas too, I thought, hey, might as well join in.

If the siege tower code is intact from RTW, mounting a realistic amount of arrow throwers would be possible.

Would that be as a seperate unit or part of the tower itself?

I belive it would be a separate unit but i´m not sure.

Make them like the RTW epic wall siege towers but more realistic with numerous weapon mounts and various catapult sizes. Something like the Helioplois for the highest level walls like desert said might be cool. Its just that the generic M2TW siege towers detract from the whole experience.

Will EB also turn off the inward facing tower defenses as the siege like in SS as the AI doesn't recognize it.
