Maybe lower the damage slightly, or give these dudes no armour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is just not built (yet) for interesting siegework. Siege Towers need a lot of work. That is not true. Rams are decent in EA and 10 fully garrisoned siege towers can smash a cc just by walking straight past it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their siege towers are a joke in DE. I took out a fortress with a few spearmen but 5 bolt shooters and 3 siege towers cannot make a dent in anything. I have not played DE for a long time.

In real life siege towers did not do that but in 0AD it feels so pleasurable to see all of your enemy infrastructure and units annihilated by a row of siege towers.

A defense tower or a siege tower? You have said this before, and I decided to do some tests in Atlas and a "small group" of archers does not take down a defense tower in 15 seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yekaterina Posted May 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) I was doing some testing with the crossbow champions. Frankly, I found them a bit useless. They have extremely long preparation time and fire delay, which makes them poor against units. Their 40 pierce is enough to take out any unit but useless against siege or buildings. They are pretty good against elephants but it ends there, especially given the cost. Therefore, I propose the following changes: 1. Increase their firing rate. The Chinese crossbow had magazines which made them almost semi automatic. Maybe firing rate be like 800ms 2. Decrease pierce. No need for 40 pierce if you have decent firing rate. Something like 14 would be way enough because those bows were not too strong. 2 minutes ago, Stan` said: Edited May 18, 2021 by Yekaterina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted May 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Another change is perhaps accuracy. The crossbows are like modern crossbow and could aim well, unlike archers who fire blindly upwards. This also means their effective range is shorter. I would leave it at around 60-65metres.

Stan` Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Modern crossbow usually have pulleys, and scopes and are not really comparable to such crossbows. Pretty sure cavalry archers don't fire blindly upwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
