[CLASS] Siege Engineer!

[Erathsmus]

Not necessarily a bad idea. But I highly doubt that they're going to add any skills or attributes considering they took out about half the skills and attributes from Warband. And those particular ones would have added even more to gameplay than siege skills

That is a good point. But, most of those skills were removed because the skills are less map oriented then vanilla, and more in battle driven in C-rpg. Vanilla did not have an option for deploying siege equipment mid battle, so I think it is still a likely possiblity, due to that these are mid combat skills, not walk around the campaign map with an army.

There is still a hidden wpf option preset for firearms, we could switch that to "engineering" and move all the ladders and such out of throwing and into "firearms" wpf.

For each point in siege equip construction material should have one more ammo.

Only yes if those engineers use smg and be able to place a turret !

Piggybacking on Erath's thread, which I think is a good idea that I hope gets fleshed out a bit more, it'd be awesome if intelligence and charisma were still around. They are practically BUILT for this sort of thing, and even more than that, for STRATEGUS. The sheer amount of bonuses of a faction commander or officer having more invested into the intelligence or charisma stats and skills gets me all hot and bothered. Higher Charisma/Persuasion could allow for a more rapid recruitment of troops, higher Trade skill could increase output from caravans or working for gold in a city, higher Surgeon/Wound Treatment/First Aid skill dictated by Intelligence could increase the base health of players in a battle for a number of spawns or give a small, passive hp regen to units in a decent radius. An individual with a high Path-Finding and Spotting skill could move faster on the map and see/transfer farther. The amount of troops that can be led by a commander could actually be determined by a number of factors of course, but partially from the Leadership skill. There are so many cool, strat related mechanics that could be implemented with the integration of these two stats. Brb gamegasm.

Hahah it would mean i would feel obliged to take engineering skill over some other skills, so i'm against it. 

Nice suggestion though.

Instead, making siege equipment costs upkeep will probably fix the siege equipment spam. That and a small nerf to construction site hitpoints.

I like this idea as well but it's kind of a useless skill if it only makes placing siege equipment faster.

Upkeep on ladders seems like an okay idea to reduce spam but I'm not really a fan of how upkeep works atm (randomly choosing equipment to repair).

Why did we decide to make ladders sheath-able? I thought that really helped with spam and made a lot more sense when they weren't?

Agreed. It would also make people stop laughing at me over TS because I run with the ladder in my hand (making the enemy notice me AND make me run slower) since I like dooing it to look like a cool ladderman

Could I have negative charisma and intelligence, maybe grab another point in powerdraw - archers don't need to be able to thinkor talk, just shoot.
