Well, defences have historically been very OP, at least. Many people have had to use ratioes of 30:1 to take a castle by storm, for example.

Check again. I forgot to hit "save"

My terrible internet thinks that dropbox is danger.

Imgur pls

I'll see what I can do.

Yes, but here you cannot successfully besiege someone. If you besieged someone with a castle, they had to hope you would give up before they starved. You can't do that here.

True. Food is rather unrealistic here, in that people don't need to travel in macrobands or engage in intensive agriculture to not starve.

It's just.. really, really hard to play military now.
Like really hard.

Just pointing out how hard it is to attack fortifications IRL.

I think even the Romans had to have a 1:1 ratio to defenders attacking hillforts directly. COnsidering it's normally 10:1 and Rome comfortably, you see where I'm going.

Huh. I appear to have modified your stats incorrectly. You should have grown. I'm not sure what I was looking at.

As I said, I'd be totally down with siege equipment. I just need to go over some figures; I should have something up in an hour or so.

yay fur siege equipment

I've got plenty of space to put it, and good uses for it

Siege equipment would be a little silly, if they're supposed to be deployed against ditches (unless, of course, you mean portable step-thingys)

Maybe we replace the ditches with palisades?

Ah. Well, then, do I have permission to edit, lord G?

fill in the ditch with catapult rocks

As soon as I've edited the part of my post relevant to you.

Portable bridges, more like.

Or, even better, sacrifices!

That happened historically; they drove POWs towards the wall, they got killed, filled the ditches, then they assaulted.

[Constaniana]

Also, you didn't record the 2 stone I got in my spoilered stats G.

[Alleniana]

how many turns it take to give someone resources?

I know, that was the joke

EDIT: Also, catapulting plague-ridden corpses over the walls of a besieged city :3

Are you sure you wouldn't prefer two wood? It's all brown and barky!

Also, how do people feel about this:

Portable Bridge: [To create: 300 Influence, 2 assigned builders] [Decreases Ditch bonus to 3+ if carried into battle by two men. Carriers may not participate in battle] [Defenders may cast down Bridge at a 7+ if set on Guard, negating its bonuses and necessitating 30 Influence of repair before it can be used again, but allowing its Carriers to join in the attack]

I figure it should be fairly expensive, since it can negate potentially several hundred Influence worth of defenses, and there will be a chance for Defenders to stop it if they're on guard, so it will give a good reason for people to actually post watchmen.

how many turns it take to give someone resources?

One, and then they can use it the same turn if they post after they get it.

I don't like it, because then I can't use my warriors to harvest stone

Other than that silly reason, I find the idea very good.

Can they carry a resource to someone, and take resources from that same person in the same turn?
