castle and village improvements THAT ARE NEEDED

[Ozzy332]

one thing i have noticed with castle and villages is that when you add improvments to them they don't show up when you go to the village or castle centres.
it would bee good if when you add improvements that not only can you see it , but you can also see it when its being constructed.

Futhermore i have a few suggestions that could be added onto the village / castle improvments list
Village improvements
BARRACKS-enales you to recruit better quality and more troops
MOAT/PALLISIDE wall- further increases the town defence
Castle Improvements
SIEGE EQUIPMENT-lets you construct defensive siege equipment that YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE
CASTLE BARRACKS-creates gaurds that patrol in and around your village and when the village is raided not only do peasents fight you but good quality gaurds wearing a lords coat of arms fight you
WHATCH TOWER- i know this has already been created but it should have another purpose: makes the enemy take twice as long to create siege equipment

Most of this is already in a mod or two: e.g.

Moat/Wall: Custom Settlements, Archeymod.
Siege Equipment: No defensive artillery yet, but there is an ability to bombard settlements with artillery in Pirates of Calradia and Age of Machinery.
Barracks: Sword of Damocles allows you to use this to get better troops through a kind-of-promotion system. Creating Patrols is in: SoD, Lords & Realms, NNY & Custom Settlements.

There could be more of course. Also, I don't see why building a watch tower would slow down an enemy building siege equipment.

Maybe you bombard them with the occasional arrow and it makes them scatter then regroup constantly?

Why in hell would  a "WHATCH TOWER" make the enemy take twice as long to build their seige equipment? It takes long enough already and I see no purpose for this.

I would not want any siege eguipment because the sieges are hard enough already. The only thing I would like to improve in that area would be the AI. that would add some difficulty and make the sieges more fun.

If you would add a barracks to a village then it should only be able to train tier 2 troops. Maybe you could get some higher tier units from castles if you first gave them some recruits or some other lower tier units. Of course there would have to be a training cost for the troops.

The moat/pallisade and castle barracks ideas sound good.

You could give the A.I. Lords 10 engineering perhaps?

I agree, add in moats, palisades, ect. I propose having a whole system for building/ enhancing your town/ castle. You would talk to the guild master, and a birds eye view drawing of your town/ castle would be shown. To the side would be written what you can add, prices. (For example, City Stone Wall- 5000 denars). When you would select something, construction would be visible (scaffolding, workers) and you could talk to the guild master or a foreman ( a new character) about progress/ problems. It would really feel better to be able to build/ affect/ improve your settlement, which you own. BTW, mods are mods, you have to download separate modules, and start all over again ( ) all my suggestions are for native- improving the general game play. Mods are excellent, but having these improvements in an expansion/ MOB 2 would be a thousand times better.

What Khan 45 siad is EXACTLY what i meen.
Sure mods are great but some of them are real buggy...espectially that european/romeman empire mod...that one should be deleted.

But thats kind of what i meen:

" agree, add in moats, palisades, ect. I propose having a whole system for building/ enhancing your town/ castle.

Further more i suggest that the higher engineer level you get should determine what you can build and how long it will take. AND also the higher pursuation you have can determine how cheap you can get it

PS-whatch tower was just a suggestion and it wouldn't affect you when you're besieging a castle/town only the lords because its annoying when you're on the other side of the map and you're castle just gets gang banged and by the time you arrive the enemy has taken it !!!

More ladders or siege towers depending on the size of the castle/fort that is one that thing I find more annoying that anything else in this game. I want that before any of the stuff you listed is out.
