ok guys, review the sieges this time?

toskyrun · July 2021

dear friends of the Bulgarian team,
the time has come: do you want to review the sieges, at least in historical mode?

let's talk: troy sieges are too arcade. albeit on multiple sides, climbing walls with invisible stairs is a good thing on Warhammer but not here.
now we have a historical modality: well let's make it special by giving the right value to sieges. make it difficult, remove the ghost stairs, re-enter a attrition mode not only for the besieged but also for the besiegers!
possibility of night lightning sorties!
after all we are talking about a single big siege that lasted 10 years ... and above all it would make the historical mode more attractive for those looking for a little more strategy.

arrow shooting towers are the very first thing that should be talked about

Lmao we are complaining since WH1...what like 5 years now?

I want soldiers falling from the walls. Some are being pushed and kicked on the edge of the wall. Some are being stabbed upon scaling the wall.

Attackers from siege towers must not always jump and land on wall if there are too much people fighting already on the wall. Most of the time, there are no more space and it is already crowded but the attackers keep on jumping creating mosh pit on the wall yet no one is still falling.

okay, then let's say we all complain a little bit.
about the post, interesting ideas are emerging:
no ghost stairs
attrition even for the besiegers
turrets with archers
soldiers falling from the walls
resistance of the besieged by the wall
other?

I hope someone from sophia will read and listen to us

they cant even put an effort for soldiers to hit each other or die not as some looney tunes character, lol, what year you think it is, 2011?)

Darios · July 2021

Sieges have come up as a serious concern in every Total War game since Empire. The sad fact of the matter is that sieges do not work on this engine. Rome 2, Attila, Troy, etc. didn't even have real city settlements (asides from unique settlements like Rome, Constantinople, Troy, etc.) , but instead there are weird constructions that funnel enemies to attack in a specific direction via cliffs and the strategic placement of walls.

I never understood the point of invisible ladders or the lack of focus on the AI using siege weapons, but I imagine that they are workarounds that's the best the developers can do with the current engine.

It might take a change to a completely different game engine before we see any real solutions regarding sieges.

toskyrun · July 2021

look, I would be content to bring them back to Rome 2, at least for 2 points: no ghost stairs and attrition of armies.
although the engine, as you have suggested, is that of WH I think these 2 changes can be done quite easily. then at the level of balance of the challenge, this I don't know. but I'm sure it can be done
