MAtty here it is!

i gota ?. what is the point of a seige troop? they have little movement and dispite there attack pts they never do sufficiant damage.

Seige troops are all about bringing down castle walls and such.

Or they can quickly dismantel your enemies barracks inside the castle.

*bump*

*Bump* for our Newbies

Siege troops unless they get a serious revamp including faster movement (idunno make em pulled by really good horses) are pretty much useless, simply use your ranged troops to destroy any unit within 3 blocks of the wall, send in a commandeer to take the wall over and then destroy it yourself using the remove command. it turns it to rubble and vualat instahole, now feel free to march troops into the castle at your whim.

Is is still 3 or has is been changed to 5 hexes from a building?

3

Some (most?) times 4.

I would say always 4.

ive done it in 3, never had to move 4 =( but eh i may be wrong

Apparently there is no resounding agreement here...which is sad ... but I'm also not sure 3 is all of the time.

Dorw, a option to your scenario.

If there are ballistas in towers, it becomes difficult to do that. In many of my games I end up with 1000+ troops of marks and/or balli and thus you have tower warfare tactics. But A suicide catapult can take down a barrks real quick and thus give the attacker the troops numerical advantage that many times he does not have in a siege.

Well in our clan game against BoS me and ^ector got to do a lot of testing on this, as we were trying to remove walls to make it harder for Negative Creep to take the castle (make sense? yeah, but it might take more explaining than we need to get into).

Anyway, we were never able to remove a wall when the opponent was 4 spaces away. We needed to remove enemies that were 4 away.

Card

well now that its been disabled so you can not commandeer walls/towers/drawbridges you need to come up with entire strats and NOW you have to have siege weapons for those turn 80 closet guys that wall themselves up nice and tight. making it next to impossible to get into the castle without some kind of siege tool.

Bump!
