Seige Weapons

Post by Nelkie »

Eric and I where talking and there is a small issue about seige weapons.

First, a light seige weapon takes half the time to destroy a building than a heavy seige weapon.

Light. 15 sec load time, needs 10 hits = 150 secs to destroy a wood structure
Heavy. 60 sec load time, needs 5 hits = 300 secs to destroy a wood structure

Isn't this backwards?

Also, can a heavy seige weapon fire just one item for mass amount of damage like the light, or is that only a light seige weapon ability?

There was a post about using a seige weapon. When a seige weapon is brought into game, is it require to launch packets at a safe speed towards people and buildings? Or do you just need the physrep and and you throw packets at people? I personal like the idea of launch packets at people. :D

Will there be any rules about moving seige weapons? The catpult I built can be moved with 3 people and feasably be moved around in a battle. Will this be allowed, or is a seige weapon stationary once it is setup?
Also, what does it take to destroy a seige weapon? The same rules for destroying a wood building?

lastly, the question about wealthy bonus was never answered. Inquiring minds want to know :D

Yes it is backwards and will be fixed.

Only a light siege weapon

The Physrep needs to fire the packets

There are no rules for moving a siege weapon nor will there be. Move it all you like but you need to move the physrep.

Sounds logical

The wealthy bonus applies to total allegience not just personal
