Building an engineer

[Tomas_of_Miles]

you dont need a specific built to become an engineer.. spawn with the cs and cm, tadaaaaaa you are an engineer

Without throwing wpf you will get destroyed by upkeep.

[Ronin]

If you are not going to throw essentially, get no power throw. So your wpf will not suffer from the penalty, and it will reduce the upkeep. I am not sure though what determines the break chance. Effective wpf or base wpf? You gotta check.

I hope you will be successful and can have fun. Becoming an engineer in crpg is harder than being a dagger cavalry or horseback thrower. My advice would be having a high STR buddy to be your bodyguard. Someone you can play with always and can talk via skype.

Edit: I would be that buddy if I was not going to become a Horse Archer. Engineers need love.

WPF in throwing does lower break chance.

told you 

Edit: If i were you i would make 3/39 or some build like that and don't invest any point into ath. So 13 Weapon master, ur repair chance will become XXXXXXXXXXXX

he's not building catapults teeth, so your straw man logical fallacy is an invalid argument.

What is he building then?

What is he building then?

In the other thread on general forums it's discussed at length.  He's building spawn points (forward bases) as an attacker, and healing tents as a defender.  Also the occasional weapons rack.

People building siege towers and catapults in siege ARE pointless.

Good by my favourite class, I hardly knew thee.

Question now is... how will people in Strategus who don't know how to operate siege gear operate siege gear?

Don't do it yourself!
Hire ST6!
CERTIFIED engineers who know exactly what they are doing.

Don't hesitate to call, we'll knock down that wall!

Need a siege tower? We've the manpower!

Traumatic events? Use our tents!

ST6, BANG and the enemy is gone.

This is true! People can't practice with it now, so only us old-timers can use it.

I dunno with you guys, but I was also damn good with the ladders, back-in-the-day. Should we put that up too?

[Tomas_of_Miles]

It's up to Frank. I'm sure people will keep trying to do sieges the old fashioned way, with ladders rushing as opposed to catapults demolishing walls.
*edit*
Also I'm sure enough people from the major factions know how to build stuff anyways, but I thought it would make a funny ad.

[OpenPalm]

It would be cool if ladders could be built from the C-site.     Costs 1 conmat... so that one engineer could put it down at the beginning of a map near the wall... archers trying to snipe his turban'd head as shielders protect him... how sweet would that be?

[Tomas_of_Miles]

Defenders would learn to fear the turban! Out of interest, why was it the turban that was chosen? I think I would prefer the fur hat myself.

Personally I would like this one:

It just give me such an "engineer" feeling.
