So at first, most siege maps are made so the enemy has to take like 2-3 parts and ends up at fighting at the flag. With ladders it will be just like take a ladder, fuck the map and go attack the flag. Would be extremely simple and not really amusing.
If u add catapults and siege towers, there will be trolls. SHITTONS OF TROLLS. They won't be just not contributing to the team effort, they will do their best to fuck up everything. There are some maps where u need some walls n'stuff. If they are shot down, the round would be simply over. And all those ones who build and shoot with catapults for example are not fighting, and we have anyways way too less players!
Longer rounds would probably destroy the balance for most maps, because they are made for a speciffic time and changing them would give the attacker and immense advantage!
BUT: If u make new maps for it, it would be okay, but allways remember to make them for the dumbest expectable player! I promise u everything will be abused.
And actually siege has only one problem, it's the missing population.. If we had like 40 vs 40 every evening everything would be fine
Gotta think about things that could be added! I will probably write something tomorrow!
Ladders, breakable walls, and lowered siege equipment would only be added in if new maps were created. Maybe we can use some of the Strategus maps already in place... We'll also be having more active admins around to take care of the trolls.
Yeah we'll definitely have days where there will be a bunch of trolls on trying to ruin the fun for everyone else, but I think these changes would be worth it and I think it has potential to pull some of the GK population if done right.
