Shik town siege test

I think the real problem is the attackers spawn area being so incredibly close to the wall that ranged weapons were able to fire into their spawn/siege equipment with great effect (and from multiple angles).

In normal PvP castle sieges ranged weaponry isn't that decisive even when defenders have plenty of bows/crossbows and the discipline to re-use them.

Basically, the city scenes are the real problem, crossbow and archer domination are a symptom of that.

Well if the city scenes included a gate, that could open, melee could sally out and fight instead of have to jump off the walls.

attackers didn't seem to be using siege shields very well, and there were few shielders and even fewer who were actually shielding their teammates

I noticed that too, attackers had barely any swords and boards at all, anyone coming up the ladders was just hit with arrows to death.
