Siege tower meta

[DukeOfLorraine]

• Make siege towers slower than infantry, even if garrisoned. Buff their resistance to compensate.
• Make them act as a permanent bridge over the wall, usable by its owned & allies.
• To compensate their now slow speed, allow infantry to build them, instead of only doing that from a siege workshop.

Optional: Make the Siege Tower require a packed/unpacked state. When packed, it can move but the garrisons cannot enter or leave, and if archers are garrisoned, the DPS is reduced. When unpacked, it cannot move but the garrisons can enter or leave, and if archers are garrisoned, the DPS is not reduced or is reduced by a smaller amount.

i talked about this many times in the thread in past. But I doubt they can do much changes without breaking pathing. Also doesnt work vs gates too. Grid based wall placement is why i doubt it’ll work any good

[DukeOfLorraine]

Yes. As is the case in AOE4.

[Skadidesu]

I know.

It should also be a Feudal Age Blacksmith Technology.

[DukeOfLorraine]

Feudal ? That means having an instantly available effect upon reaching CA if you remembered to grab it. Make it a CA tech except for Cumans.

Its not a meta if it happens one in five games. Meta is still scouts into skirms followed by knights or ca depending on the civ matchup. Players doing these strats to counter some civs like Byzantines which are otherwise quite powerful is fine. It also fails to get any value in many situations. Its quite interesting, disruptive and has reduced the skirmisher play at higher elos and knight/camel spam at mid elos. That’s quite good imo.
