How will Sieges be done on S2TW MP (or in general)? Will it be like NTW where you can garrison troops in barracks and that? I think they should bring back fancy things like Arrows towers (with archers in them ofc) and boiling oil.

As Japanese castles, atleast the bigger ones were built as a succession of courtyards connected by narrow twisting passages, you can expect some rather bloody multi-stage assaults to reach the main keep, with the defenders falling back to the next line of defense when the pressure becomes too big. CA has already mentioned a decent amount on sieges, so I expect them to be filled with features and fairly well polished.

Ye no doubt they will have a bit to them but seiges in mp? cant see it especially not with the same army values on each side if they stick with that. Sieges have never been popular in MP and i doubt they ever will be due to the huge advantage the defender has, sieges in mp campaign tho thats something else but i think we will see players just siege a city and wait till it falls instead of playing a siege battle against a human.

But it be cool though Swoosh, especially in a 2v1 situation in a MP camp maybe.
It could be a fun distraction once every 6 months or something, just going by past experience on playing siege games. Thats just me though. If we make a clan campaign it will certainly feature siege battles for the clans capital tho so as to make a clan difficult to wipe out. we even had some river battles in the last clan campaign, infact i think it was a river battle where a ronin player famously turned on his ally and attacked him as he had been negotiating with the enemy in the campaign. you could attack allies if you wanted in shogun. Somone refresh my memory which clans and players were involved in that incident if memory serves it was rage clan led by monsta(before he became a wolf) and im sure the victim of the betrayal was tera in no fear clan at the time?
