[Arkatos]

Okay, so... Nothing new?

[SeQuel]

I've seen this before o.O

[Fraemi]

Saw them make a siege tower and a ton of ladders/constr. sites on and around a flag once for about 5 rounds in a row. Of those they very well might have lost 3 rounds without. Flag was completely unreachable, as in op.

I've seen this here and there too.  I think it's awesome!  It's fun on defense, because you get to built a fort.  It's fun on offense to BREAK ALL THE THINGS!!!

I don't think it's OP, unless its used on maps that heavily favor the defenders already.

[Tears of Destiny]

Considering the HP Door bug for first rounds, some maps practically require this sort of thing for Defense to win.

[Jacko]

Siege is broken.

[Digglez]

You mean to say an organized team now has a chance of winning while on defense when playing an unbalanced map?!

[Slamz]

Siege definitely has issues.  Things I would like to see:

* Automatically record win/loss ratio per map.  After 30 recorded rounds (where player population > 50), if defenders lose > 70% of the time, decrease the map timer by 30 seconds, wipe the records and start recording win/loss ratio again.  If defenders win > 70% of the time, increase the map timer by 30 seconds.  Map time will now be a function of the map.

* If nobody is on a player built ladder, you get a "Drop Ladder" option, which destroys it, same as map ladders.  This will address the issue of hard-to-hit ladders (especially for people with short weapons).

* When a deployable dies, it deals damage to all other deployables immediately around it.  This will address the issue of people creating big piles of crap.

* Fix the first round door bug.  Or subtract 1 minute from the first round of every map.


Maybe after Strategus reaches a stable state, we can see a little more love on siege.

I thought exploiting c-sites on siege was a ban? Did something change?

As I have heard it told, it was a ban on some of the community siege servers (the ones nobody plays on anymore because they were not being maintained).  Using c-sites on official servers is legal, to my knowledge.

In a lot of cases, though, it's easy to spend so much time screwing around with c-sites and weapon racks that the enemy wins simply because you had too many people screwing around with c-sites.  In the case where I've seen the "super wooden barricade of doom" blockading the main entrance, there were other back-door entrances that were literally wide open and most people were just too busy raging about the main door to take a medium ladder and go 30 steps around to the back door.

Even better: Add firebombs, only damage siege equipment, but in a decent radius for massive damage, one hitting siege shields and small ladders for sure.
