I give up. It's nearly impossible to conquer a castle or city in this mod, especially if you play as the French. English longbowmen are just mobile insta-kill machines. It's not fun that you instantly die as soon as you manage to climb the walls. The game's seige AI is already appalling, but the longbowmen really make it impossible to even approach a castle. At least it's pretty fast to build ladders, so I can take over a castle after 5-6 tries, outnumbering the enemy 5 to 1 (I wouldn't even dare try to take over a city). But the problem is castles that you have to take over with siege towers (which one it is is apparently random?). Those are slow. I really mean, slow. I have time to go to the store to buy ingredients for a 5 course meal, prepare it, eat it, watch a movie, and then when I come back to the game, the siege tower has come halfway to the castle, and 70 % of my troops have been killed by standing right in the open like retards.
Is there a way to speed up siege towers? Some file I can edit to make English longbowmen a lot less powerful? Some mod that makes sieges easier so they don't exponentially slow down game progress (eg adding more ladders)?
