Deployable Wooden stakes/anticav items.

Since ladders get out of control in strat... how about something like these..

(click to show/hide)

or something even easier... the best possible thing would be something deployable to prevent cav from being able to get somewhere without stopping infantry too much. currently in strat battles if you dont protect your forward spawn/weapon rack/healing tent with hordes of ladders then it is pretty much a guarantee that cav will fuck it up.

A bit wimpy against cav, would be better to have some specific items. Trenches, Wooden Palisades/stakes, etc.

You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

Im all in for more siege gear. I also think siegeshields should not get destroyed in 1 or 2 hits.

Die way too quickly and you can only deploy a few of them.

even if siege shields could take a few hits, they don't cover enough territory to be effective in keeping wankers away from your siege stuff.

This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

Yes, and we must keep suggesting it again, over and over until it happens. That's how the world works.

Well, I had an idea for it

How about, we get wooden stakes like the ones in ME2TW? Touching it at walking speed does 1 damage and stuns you, but touching it at lance charge speed will probably kill your horse if it isn't armored

That could be interesting but could also be kinda OP and probably really hard to get working right. Just having something to get in the way of cav other than crazy ladder forts would be nice.

Though it has been suggested multiple times, I agree there needs to be something more than ladder spam to ward off cavalry. Ladders are made for climbing!

Speaking of things they should add... I can't wait until they add the ballista into the game!

Just need to make them relatively destructible to stop abuse.

Probably 1 hit it's gone, since it's just a big wooden stick. But it'd still be extremely effective against cavalry

youd have to make it fairly sturdy otherwise cav could just trot up and slap it down.
