Do Scythians get Onagers?

**IceWolf** · 05-04-2007, 18:54

I'm haaving a lot of fun with my current campaign. I made a treaty with Dacia, wiped out Thrace then turned on the Dacians. I had intended to go south and give those annoying macedonians their just rewards but the Germans kept biting me in the butt up north so now they must be destroyed. I'm having no problem with that, but afterwards I will go south either into Macedonia, or more likely Italy. The problem is i know i will run into walled cities and my armies generally consist of 2 or 3 axemen to push rams then a lot of HAs. I can't find a tech tree thread anywhere and the RTW-Gold guide didn't come with one, so does anyone know if the Scyths get onagers? I don't wanna havta rely on large numbers of axemen to try to take gateways to let my HAs in. The axemen don't seem that strong anyway. Thanks

Hi IceWolf,
Sorry, but I think that only civilised factions get Onagers. Sorry.

BTW, on the side of the settlement panel there is a button with a little compass, mathematical type, on it. Click, and open up the R:TW technological-tree for your faction! You can simply right-click on one of these buildings in the tree to see what it does/trains and decide if it's worthwhile or not for your plans of world domination! Hope this helps, cheers!

Hi,
It think that it must be, I don't think I've seen Sythia using them - I have always thought that only non-Barbarians can use them. I may be wrong however, sadly, I don't have a copy of R:TW on my machine to refer to. Sorry.

I'm playing for Scythians now, and I do have onagres. Only 1 type is available though (no "heavy onagres") but still.

I must be wrong then, my apologies IceWolf. I really do wish that this hard-drive had the space to fit R:TW on it as well as M:TW and S:TW - it sometimes gets quite irritating.

Scythians do have Onagers available in Custom Battles and presumably the Imperial Campaign too, in 1.5 at least.

I don't think any Barbarian faction has more advanced artillery like Heavy Onagers available though.
