In medieval era, not all army where big. Invading a city is one thing, keeping it is one other.
Naber nation had tendancy to invade weaken nation, afther they where at war.
It is 2 easy target, has you finish the wining nation and incorporating the losing nation to your empire.
Wall diging was a way to make castle wall colaspse, by colapsing the tunel on it self, the brick wall just fall becaus it has no land suport under his fundation.
Did you know that there was also a smal version of the trebuchet, that was one maned? The men only use brute force to activate it, to trow small objects, has rock, but on a short distance.
Probably not. I doubt they’d waste the time on something so unimportant. I also doubt most players even care about it (although a few players seem extremely passionate about it).
It’s also clearly an intentional decision, probably for readability and performance reasons and possibly just because siege crews often look janky. The fire rate on siege is relatively quick so animations of units operating them would have to be sped up. Also, they’d need to be pulled by horses which never looks great in motion (no not even in aoe3) and then either vanish when unpacking or just stand there taking up space.
They already have the golden ghost operators which seems like a good compromise.
Obviously here we are going to find some fanatic people that will agree with everything they do. But the true is that people outside this forum are asking for more detailed units, reallistic proportions and manned siege weapons. Like I said 1000 ppl and the other pic shared 12k ppl… its not few people… I play with many friends and all of them are dissapointed too.
Yea I quite like the golden ghosts - siege engines took literally ages to reload. I really enjoy the implication of a long time (same with building a building!) whilst still keeping the gameplay requirements of reloading taking a second or 2.
Falls into the same boat of 1 second of game time being 1 “year”, one of those things they did in age1 to show that we’re playing a representation of reality. Not reality itself.
I don’t think so, and I hope not. Similarly, I don’t need to see my hands grabbing items or feet walking in FPS games (they’re distracting and affect gameplay in a negative way)
The visual distraction of siege operators would be okay, imo, in AoE. (And would not really a distraction in and of themselves; so my bad for conflating the hands/feet issue in FPS with siege units so much.) Their negative affect on gameplay is my main issue with them (i.e., length of time to pick up and move or rotate siege unit)
No need for the sarcasm or hyperbole. Just discuss
Seeing your hands and feet in FPS games is visually distracting, though… especially when devs make a big deal of them
No, it would break the current design decision and add a ton of new work to create models and animate them, in a short time it is too difficult to do this without problems without the overwork of the employees.
Aren’t they allowing mods to the game ?
Someone will surely be able to then mod operators…
There is a balance between gameplay and aesthetic.
For the faster pace of this new agey4 game (Which i enjoy ALOT). It would be ridiculous to see real life human models jumping around really fast with it constructing to ? no ?
