sieging, artillery

[Geoffrey S]

Artillery wasn't used on the scale you see in RTW, that only happened a lot later didn't it? I thought generally they were used to provide covering fire for siege constructions and the like, picking off enemies on the wall and enemies approaching the wall. So I'm also kind of curious how siege engines will be handled in EB, since the stuff in RTW is clearly designed to fit in with the pace of the game.

Well, a few months ago when they did those random previews, one of them included a picture of a siege engine, that was basically an oversized ballista. If I remember correctly, one of the developers said that this new siege engine will replace the ornager in game, since the latter wasn't developed untill much later. So yeah, I would say new stuff will be added :)
