Hi

Look here!!

Would be heavily fortified against archers but swordsman and samarai and trebuchets have bonus against it, also takes 10 turns to make and moves 1. Also carries four units, plus too big to go in wagon. It would be a one tile unit that only carries infantry or archers

I know its just patroid could you make a image for this unit

Hi
Ok i make a new image with this image as base.
And also i let the tower overlap the upper tile a bit!!

I hope it will be ready today.

Okay sounds good

Lancers fire archer could be effective against boats and siege tower

Hi
Here is my first try of the siege tower.
Maybe you use him.

Wo that looks good

check the AOF forum there was a good tower already.
maybe you can get ideas of that - or modify that.
however this is also good but a little too big in my opinion.

anyway good!

Can we shoot arrows from it? As opposed to battering ram?

I agree that the tower is a bit too big, but very good style.

I like the ideas here, holds 4 troops, archers can fire from it, enables troops to leap over walls.
Maybe even get past the small towers as troops could climb through a window from it, but not the fortresses as they too tall.

I think 10 turns is too many as they speed of 1 heavily reduces the effectiveness.

I would say 6 turns with a speed of 1 or 9 turns with a speed of 2.

Thats good, but does Daniel think the image or the idea is too big

the image

Oh okay

Hi
Please tell my in wich direction.
It has a 32px weight and a
Height of 40-50.

Patroid

You are doing good job so far patroid

yes, patroid is our icon-master!

"too big": the height: a 1x1 unit should not exceed the approx. 40px height.

Hi
It is easyer to use the icon i made for the orcs.
If you wanna have a redesign (one floor or one
part away) send request me.

Patroid

yes, i loved the icon u made for the orks!

Partroid did a good job but do you think it would be possible to add seige tower properties

What properties are suggested for siege tower

I suggest archers can shoot from inside them.
Move speed as battering ram, but considerably less hp.

I guess that would be good what do you think Daniel

Good ideas does anyone want this implemented

Me

Me 2. If I can vote.

I think that maybe crossing walls in one turn is a bit overpowered maybe it should take a few turns to make units cross or maybe it destroys walls slowly because its letting soldiers in to attack

also moving one makes it pretty ineffective. most games won't last that long unless it is a special scenario, or they can be built near the walls.

we have quite a few things that already fit this description,,, by the time they are built and can be moved, the game is decided or over.
