Who was the one that decided making bridges wider was a good thing??? I used to be able to hold a bridge with 3-5 high honor Sam Archers, even against WM, ND or NI. HC gave me more problems, but I always have a spiker or 2 handy for that. But now - with these lame, stupid, "extra-wide, deluxe, super charge-accomodating" models that are in MI/WE now, you need a bloody miracle to hold a bridge without MASSIVE firepower - meaning 6-8 archers in square formations putting 350 - 450+ arrows into the chargers as they cross, per volley! And then - you end up with a few idiots standing in the wrong place, getting arrows to the back of their skulls, while only 20 guys may fall under that seriously heavy barrage.
These bridges suck. First off - a guy should not be able to charge across it in freakin formation at top speed, nor should it be wide enough to let 4 horses run across side by side. If your gonna widen it, at least make it slower terrain.
Is there any way I can either get me old bridge back, or modify it to act like the thick growth u sometimes see that slows troops down?
Also - thoughts on this would be nice - I really wonder if everyone thinks this was an unfortunate, unnecessary and harmful change.
Qapla!
