The knights came to sWalker's home, decked out in the best seen so far, with catapults that worked in tow.  The castle, with the older gentlemen and court jesters still home to fight, were no match for the grand army.  sWalker, sneaks away from the battlefield, his pride hurt...and down some wives and his winter home.  Hopefully Charlie will take good care of them...don't treat them too poorly.  The mighty Goretooth was immune to all but one of sWalker's arrows, and markman Kesh killed too many of my comrades...Commander Rogers' plan carried the field...maybe sWalker will be on the winning side in his battles tomorrow.

Two hours. 5500 vs 4500.

I've been on the sieges where it took an hour and a half for 1500 defenders to kill 900 attackers.

not even close, some of those battles first time around were way longer than 2.5 hours per 4000 people.

After an hour and a half on this one, there was well under 50 kills. Hell, it was probly closer to 10. However, hundreds of tickets had been lost due to attrition and stupidity.

I personally would like to thank the Northern Empire. They are #1 at finding ways to make video games not at all fun. In the quest to make strategus more and more not fun, they lead the charge. Please continue your holy quest to make a video game as much like a job scribbing shit stains off a prison bathroom floor as possible.

GOD WILLS IT

And as our brothers (the hospitallers) charged into the castle, god trully smilled upon them, and so with it and the blessing from us, the templars, fate took its course and won the battle!

And there was one word in the soldiers mind, that was...

God wills it!

Oh wait... most people done this, but mine means more cause im a templar  :oops:

Did you guys use up all your construction sites? That one wall got taken down pretty far and I was wondering why you didn't finish the job?

Is that why you didn't use a siege towers? Because the mass laddering, while looking cool as fuck, really wasn't effective at all until the defenders had a bunch of people quit and attackers had like 58 to 40. Ladders seem really shitty now.

Apparently catapults are bugged in strat battles and tend to blow themselves up for no reason. We ended up losing 5 catapults to this when we planned on using only three to take out the desired targets. We ended up running our of either sites or materials... I don't know which... was really looking forward to doing some damage as catapult crew... spent the entire day practicing them to have them blow up after 3-20 shots... hope this will be fixed soon.

You guys had way more luck with them than other sieges at least. DRZ for example, made a shitload of catapults and probably got off like 8 shots the whole battle. They also had their catapults on extreme inclines.

I didn't see any of the cats you guys used due to the fog, did you have them on pretty flat ground?
Title: Re: SERVER FIRST :: Strategus Castle taken
Post by: Thokan on August 06, 2011, 07:57:26 pm
We encountered problems with the item scaling limiting the numbers of construction sites we were able to use. The catapults either bugged and shot straight once every third shot or just exploded forcing us to make new. We ran out of CSs quickly as the catapults were heavily bugged. That is why we did a daring move and moved forward the last of our catapults so it had a better chance of hitting. As we ran out of CSs before we realized it we couldnt go to plan B wich was building a siege tower so when the last catapult broke, due to enemy fire, we said 'fuck it' and just simply used ladders.

And yes, Beans, we had them on flat ground. We have practiced a lot with the catapult firing. The fog also made it hard spotting, atleast for me :P

Seriously worst siege i ever made, way too long...
I remember town siege that last 4hours but there was some action, this siege was just boring.

I spend 1hour and half running inside castle, watching retard jumping, punching kicking, suiciding.
You can thx defender that spend 600 ticket before you even made an attack...

From watching the vid, I really can't say I spotted a problem.

The spawning without gear happened because several people spawned with a piece of equipment that only exists a few times. There has never been a bug where people spawn with half their equipment.

And from the rest: All I've seen is a peasant mob trying to attack a well-trained and coordinated army - and getting repelled instantly. You can clearly see how one side is perfectly coordinated, while the other side was a bunch of farmers.

If you attack, it's up to you to be better than the defenders. Attacking is no longer a troop-comparison - you need tactics and commitment to pull off a successful attack.

From what I saw at Haringoth Castle, it is often still a troop comparison.

Not quite as awesome as the first castle taken last strategus, but still, nicely done.
