Naptha and walls

OMG! I've never known that!!!

Should I ever have time to play again, a VI campaign would have high priority, I guess.

I knew I had seen it before in a TW settng but couldn't remember which one.

I never had the xpansion pack with viking invasion only the old MTW and STW vanilla copies so maybe one of them has the fire arrow capabilities as well.

It's all coming back now, though someone will correct me if I'm wrong. IIRC VI basically had "fire" which no previous TW games had. I remember that buildings would burn down in VI battles as well.

This is what comes of autoresolving sieges and not building siege equipment for so long...

I believe you are correct.
During VI battles you could target a building and when you brought it down it would be there smouldering.
I remember thinking how sweet it was to see the plumes of smoke rising in the air and how brilliant it was for the developers to add in those little details.

Likewise, I seem to remember that any wooden wall can be pulled down / destroyed by troops' melee attacks in Viking Invasion (basically, anything below "Keep" level). Are you guys sure that this isn't the case in the Medieval campaigns?...

Maybe I'm wrong (as I have a notoriously crap memory), but I'm 80% sure I've successfully attacked wooden walls with troops in Medieval era...

I think that in this case, your memory serves you well Roark

You are 100% correct Roark.
I was playing my gold edition medieval the other day and enjoyed watching my Longbowmen destroy a HRE forts walls from long range with fire arrows, sitting out of reach of the enemies return fire. Sweet.
