Maenads and siege

[Kuritza]

Btw, is it working as intended that Pangaea's castles are impossible to siege due to constant supply of maenads? In one of our games winner couldnt take Pangaea's capitol till the end of the game (needless to say, it stalled him greatly). Pangaea simply skipped turns and survived until the end of game, it doesnt seem right.

Well there's always domkill, massing of siege equipment, remote spells to clear them out, massing of flying troops and high str troops,...

I'm curious as to how many Pans with what Turmoil scale it required to stave off the entire army. Granted, it will take, what, 11 turns for each Maenad to die, but it's still interesting.

What nation was the winner playing? I'm curious that he couldn't manage Gate Cleavers, Siege Golems, or other options for breaking the gate down.

And domkill would be a very good option, I _think_. Even dropping the Turmoil scale there would help a lot.

What do you mean by 11 turns for each Maenad to die?

Disease due to starvation? With enough supply bonus due to nature magic and items, it may not be an issue.

Winner was Bandar Log, and he had Turmoil scale himself so he couldnt turn off the maenads income. I believe there were some dryads preaching inside as well. He said he was throwing everything he could at the walls, elephants and such, but maenads were repairing it faster anyway.

Why didnt he mind hunt every weenie inside of the castle?

Pangaea has a hard time "out in the field" handling armies. If their balance is being able to party hard in a sieged castle then that might not be bad.

Does the other common Pangaea option, carrion vines, have a like benefit?
