Wish List

[GhostHawk]

First, when seigeing Citys or castles, to have the option to choose. Spend 8 hours building a ladder, or 16 hours for 2 ladders. Or 3 days for a seige tower, or a week for a pair of seige towers. Or a combination of the above, like a siege tower and a pair of ladders!

Heros, Rolf, borcha, etc would rock if you had a dialog screen to initiate combat.
"Attack at dawn, noon, dusk" then leave them with their siege tower/ladder, you go lead the rest of yours guys up the Other tower, and attack at the same time.  Or even if your close to them and your attacked if they'd come help instead of just running away.

Now you can overwhelm city defenses if you have the means to do so.

Being tied to a single ladder at an impossible angle, with no gap for your troops to actually get into the city/castle with sucks the big one.
Just finished taking Valuca, 380 defenders vs me & 400 + Hired Blades and Vaegir Knights.

Of all those men, I'm the only one who actually made it INSIDE the bloody walls. Ended up being a snipers war with crossbows until I got them down to the last 10 men. Then I sent the blades forward till the 4 lords inside were knocked out. Ran up the ladder jumped in and killed 5 crossbow men for the win. Yes I won, but the way I won sucks.

Siege equipment, catapults, ballistas, Trebuchets, preferably all able to be manned by the player.
Break the wall so there is a gap and ideally the game would pop up.
Do you want to "lead troops into battle, send troops forward without you, leave" Same as any other battle.

Don't get me wrong, I'm for sure a M&B addict. Love whats been done so far. I just see lots of room for improvement yet.

Keep up the good work! <Salute>

The only problem I see is that having your choice of siege engine means each siege type would require it's own castle model as the holes the siege ladder/towers get trough are all different heights. That would be a lot of modeling that would have to be done. I'd much rather they jsut fix the gap problem. The problem didn't exist in .894 and I used to take 150+ garrison with my 40 hired blades. They are borne siege breakers if you can get the in the walls.

I'd also really like trebs and mongerals, but the game doesn't have destructible terrain so they would'nt be able to damage castle walls yet. This vastly diminishes their coolness in my mind. Theres been quite a few suggestion threads  on this already, but I have'nt seen an 'easy' solution yet.

I agree we need to have the option of attacking from diffrent directions (according to the terrain).  You are right we need siege weapons to make breaches in the walls, trebuchets and battering rams would be a nice addition, and then after the battle the new lord of the place has to pay for reparations.    And now with breaches on the walls I would like to option of having the cavalry units on horses!
I like your ideas GhostHawk.

Let's not limit gameplay! Especially with technology advancing.
Anyway the developers could have a limited amount of places where you can breach the walls, I think that would fix performance issues.

Castles also don't seem to starve properly (see bug topic). REALLY ANNOYING.

I like all these ideas, the only one I see that would be hard to implement is this

Heros, Rolf, borcha, etc would rock if you had a dialog screen to initiate combat.
"Attack at dawn, noon, dusk" then leave them with their siege tower/ladder, you go lead the rest of yours guys up the Other tower, and attack at the same time.  Or even if your close to them and your attacked if they'd come help instead of just running away.

It is too hard for you to search? because there is a topic whit exactaly the SAME sugestions you posted.

 

[Oubliette]

No need to be pissy about it.

Also, I think this is the thread DarkAnd is referring to.
