    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Not a bad little preview, certainly keeps wetting the appetite as we wait for Kingdoms to land!

    I don't know. So far it seems the more I learn about Kingdoms the more "eh" I get about it. The mini-campaigns are cool, but if it doesn't really change the main game I don't know if it would be worth the price of admission. Maybe if they made them fairly cheap downloadable add-ons with a patch that gave new balance features and all the mod-making features.
    Inhale, exhale
    Forward, back
    Living, dying:
    Arrows, let flown each to each
    Meet midway and slice
    The void in aimless flight
    --
    Thus I return to the source.

    Oil!!! Finally oil at the gates:

    "If your fortresses are advanced enough, they can rain down boiling oil on those pesky troops using a ram at your gates."

    Pretend it's sand. Hot sand. You know, the stuff that people actually poured on besiegers?

    Pouring boiling oil would be about as smart as using molten gold, nowadays. Oil is just far too expensive in medieval Europe to be pouring gallons of it on the ground.

    Sand, on the other hand, is actually far worse than oil, when heated, and plentiful.

    yup... im burned by oil... on my arm... and it took an hour actually to really burn... it takes longer and does less damage than water or sand.

    We do not sow.

    Canon as in a member of a chapter, or a monk. Reinstating oil might be unbalancing methinks.

    I wonder what it would do to the use of rams? Boiling oil, or sand or water or whatever...
