Haven't been in the forums much lately, so if this has been mentioned previously, consider it a comfirmation.

I have an 80 pop catapult in Slow 9 and have attempted to attack towers more than once without success. The 'destroy' option does not appear when clicking on an enemy's tower. I thought the presence of troops was preventing this earlier, but I've tried with an empty tower and the option to attack is not appearing.

I hope this isn't a feature (and it IS a bug), now that towers can be entered, no matter which player built the tower.

Anyone else experienced this?....or can comment?

Yup same thing here.

Your army, Ballista_4, was attacked by boevoipes : Catapults_1.
Catapults_1(35,53) = Wounds : 0.0, Killed : 0, Exp : 0
Ballista_4(32,60) = Wounds : 12.7, Killed : 0, Exp : 0.

Boe, I thought you had attempted to attack my tower as well. Above, I believe was the result.

REQ, we need your help on this one!!

u can't distroy towers ne more. and u can go through "all" towers no matter who's land it is on. it's a new update.

I'd be VERY surprised if this is meant to be a feature....this has got to be a bug. REQ? Certainly, the option to attack and destroy a tower by catapults SHOULD be possible.

As far as destroying, kingmen...(as in 'selling' back), you're incorrect, I've destroyed/sold back a couple towers in the last couple days.....thanks, anyway.

well ur not suppose t0. but i was thinking if someone had them build b4 the new updates. that u can still take them over or distroy them. cause in my new games. i can't disrtoy them i can tAKE THEM OVER THOUGH.

sry about the caps. my finger gets to happy sometimes.

These were recently built towers, so the 'destroy/remove' option IS working.

Another comment concerning catapults, their range is listed as being 11...however, I've found the range to vary at times...some objects you can target at 11 (receiving the destroy option), others you can't until you move to within 10 spaces.

Just tested them in that same game, one wall at 11 range, I get the option on...another wall (same range/different location), NO option.

iv'e came acroos that to. and i think if ur n a castle and in a tower u get that 1 range differents.

We should definitely be able to destroy and remove towers. I don't remember Req saying anything about towers becoming invinsible? Cats kinda become useless with this bug since their main purpose is to knock out enemy towers...

read the updates.

January 2005 - Updated 5.Jan.2005
Fixes :

- Fixed Towers so anyone can enter an empty one. Ownership no longer matters.

also i feel the same way. at least n ur castle u can't go through them and ownership does matter. but once u get out of ur castle and u build one. yre i can see the new changes taken place

Any towers can be entered even in the castle.. Ownership no longer matters doesn't mean towers can no longer be destroyed.

Need Req to fix this bug...

i feel the same way but if u can go through it why bother desrtoying it. use ur cat to distroy something else.

kingmen...kingmen...nothing is mentioned in the updates about towers being invincible to catapults.

Perhaps your advice would work fine, IF there is no enemy troops in the tower. But as in my current fight with boe, I need to be able to strike a tower with his ballistas in it, to steal their range, protect my melee...you know, try to win the battle, destroying walls ("something else") isn't a priority at the moment...just as boe attempted to attack one of my towers staffed with my ballistas. That's one of the major reasons to even train cats.

This is a bug and it needs to be fixed!

Yes this got reported before, and obviously hasn't been fixed.

You can still remove towers you 'own'.

Towers in castles need to be changed (IMO) so that ownership does matter. I mean who puts a door on the outside of the tower on the castle... Or at least change it so that if a tower is on castle floor, you can't enter it unless you are also standing on castle floor.

hey leo i feel the same way. u should be able to distroy it when ever. but rite now untell it's fixed. u have no choice but to hit other buildings.

Agreed, this should be first on the 'to do' list. And yes, kingmen...no more barracks to destroy, most of the resource buildings also destroyed...so I guess I just start on walls and pallisades.

But this is a SERIOUS bug...it takes alot of time and resources to deploy an 80 pop catapult, ...without being able to destroy a tower...that investment is too costly!

Another reminder on the urgency of fixing this bug....and a few words concerning Fanatic's last post.

I endorse your suggestion concerning 'castle' towers.

Hey REQ, any chances on fixing this? I'm moving towards the next castle now...it'd be great to be able to use these cats on towers.

I think if you have a tower in your castle , only you should be able to enter them. I don't think anyone would build a tower in thier castle that anyone but thier own men could enter. Outside the castle should be fair game.

thats what i said too, mimic..

so until it did't change in game engine i will not use it unless my troops storm the tower
