Re: Siege mechanics in manual wrong?
Mindless units crack walls really fast. Lankan soulless are the cheapest wall-breakers. I think, they don't really have a penalty for sieging, because Breaking is always easier than building  |

Re: Siege mechanics in manual wrong?
I have seen dozens of players use birds in mp games to siege, so it is not just llamabeast. But I did test them because i was considering using them for the 1st time and i wanted to see what bang i was getting for my buck(not being a trusting guy).

Re: Siege mechanics in manual wrong?
When using map edit commands I could not find any logical formula for sieging units verses the defending units.

Re: Siege mechanics in manual wrong?
Excellent point Endoperez.
One way To help the Monkeys would be to give elephants a siege bonus since they are highly trainable and would likely be good in a siege.

Re: Siege mechanics in manual wrong?
I always imagined the birds were dropping rocks, not pecking at the walls!

Re: Siege mechanics in manual wrong?
I always imagined the birds were swooping in and pecking the eyes out of the defenders on the walls. Seems logical to me.

Re: Siege mechanics in manual wrong?
Well,
If you guestimate that the animal tag is worth -1.. this means that 20 hawks *.25 = 4.
Plus the greathawk 2.21 = 6. Round down. Seems to fit the data point.
But I'm too lazy to test it with 10 elephants.
