Ideas for a more realistic game play (balancing wagon use)
This thread contains the links to the different ideas that together could change the entire gameplay and make it more realistic. But as they r different I thought merging them would make it too confusing for the readers so I put the links to the ideas in this thread. Please read them and give your opinions to improve upon these ideas and make them ready for voting.
If anybody can find other important ideas that could make the game more realistic, but is too big a change or too difficult to implement, then b free to share the links here in replies but do write the ideas in separate topics
Stratego's idea to ban knights from wagons
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4271
My idea for more balanced range ( This is not exactly important right now but could b worked on later for problems like it is impossible for lancers to reach range 8 horse archers without wagons)
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4647
My idea to make garrisoning sieges more realistic so that it is possible to attack with sieges without needing wagons
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4579
My idea to ban powerful sieges from wagons
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4662

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play
we were thinking of this but if we where to make a more realistic game no one would play! I mean who wants to cep track of food supplies.
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play
to the sieges:
Most common strategy in medieval Russia (i don't know how in Europe) was taking all needing materials and engineers and building siege weapons (including trebushets) near town or something else that you want to siege.
So maybe redesign engineers (not workers but the ones who builds several strange towers) so that they can build siege weapons (Battering rams, Siege towers, catapults, all ships, Siege mantlets, Trebushets, ballistas) at faster rate than workers.

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play
So u mean to say there shouldn't b any way to transport sieges over long distances, we should instead only send workers via wagons to build new sieges in the front lines? I don't think that's good idea as siege workshop will almost become completely useless. I still like the idea of some sieges being able to carry by wagons, like ballista cannon and battering ram, and some sieges being transformed into faster moveable units, like catapult and trebuchet, and some sieges can b built by workers, as siege mantlet and siege tower and cannon tower, is a good idea as different sieges will have different strategic uses

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play
No.
I'm thinking about something different.
First: Adding siege engineers with faster rate of constructing units. If possible than only units and no buildings at all, can't help workers to increase speed of constructing of buildings. More expencive (4 or even 5 turns) and also affected by ambidextria.
Second: All siege range land units can't move and attack in one turn. Only move or attack. (including ballista).
Third: To implement this Siege units need two forms: Siege form, immovable and moving form with range of 1 and 1 damage.
Fourth: All land units are buildable in their movable form.
Fifth: To compensate this we can increase ballista's/trebushet's/catapult's speed by 1-2 points in their movable form.

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play
Nope.
You can build in siege workshop also your siege.
but all ranged land units from them would have 2 forms: attack form with range and moving form.
To compensate that we can increase their speed by 1-2. Also i thought that they must be more durable even with cavalry and infantry and give them more hp (but still catapult/trebushet can one-shot another catapult/trebushet)
They still can transported by wagons. Just they can't exit from the wagon and immediately fire.
Also Siege angineers are built in siege workshops i thought. not in TC. and with cost of 4-5 turns you must choose where to put your production: to train some siege engineers or to build ballistas/catapults.

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play
The first idea about movable version, was already suggested as packed version, and I don't think we need another type of worker to take the job of original worker, it will just make it too long to make siege units to attack Ur enemies at this rate,

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play
but he has higher rate of building siege.

Yea
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

Makazuwr suggested banning spell use from inside wagons

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play (balancing wagon us
personally I think we should rename spells to something else, I mean like it sounds like witchcraft!

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play (balancing wagon us
Then make a new topic for renaming spells, don't write here, here only wagon balancing ideas is accepted

Re: Ideas for a more realistic game play (balancing wagon us
No I meant spells for aos but spells for aof is a good place for spells anyway, and knights should not be able to use wagons because of their long range, with knights able to use wagons it can be like a trogen wagon!
