Game Development: Siege Chess

[eliminoid]

My solution for this would be: give them 2 weeks to build in the missing ingredients into the existing cairns or they vanish.

Pretty good idea right there actually. Makes perfect sense and is fair to everyone. Unlike the current implementation which just gave everyone who has ever built a border cairn extra resources equivalent to (X * # of additional resources per cairn).

No it does not make sense. Firstly, this can be rephrased as "wall your opponents cairns to get rid of them", and secondly they werent expensive and they arent expensive now.

is it possible to destroy village banners with the rams while village idol is still up?

Yes.

will it be possible to destroy open gates (visitor gates) with the ram?

Good point. Should probably fix that.

will the splash ever work on open gates? as right not it does not.

I was not aware of that. Should be fixed.

will it be possible to get inside the archery tower if not to shoot arrows, then to at least pretend and to shittalk demoralize your enemy with a greater efficiency?

Not currently, but might very well consider adding that.

So apparently you still need to guard a siege engine entire 24hours in a row in order to destroy a wall.

For now, yes. As stated in the OP, we intend to adjust the hand-bashability of siege machines conservatively, over time.

What the actual fuck, Jorb?

Meh, you've had a good while to complain beforehand.

What about knarrs? Can catapults/battering rams destroy them instantly?

Is it gonna be just 2 hour charge and then instantly destroying the knarr?

[wonder-ass]

Increased the building cost of Realm Carins significantly, and enforced greater distances between them

nobody asked for this why? why!
haHA literally nobody is going to fucking be cairn duty now it was already tedious asf to do this shit.

Yes.

Is there any alternative to this? External banners seem extremely vulnerable now, and making palisade bubbles around every single banner sounds like a pain.

Jorb, why you can't just add Eve-online system with reinforced mode... ? Dude, that would make the siege's at least worth anything... I mean in very, very shortcut:

EVERY VILLAGE WOULD HAVE A SHIELD.

If some raiders come, they put siege engises which dry like 2 hrs or so... Then they can attack the shield. after shield goes down to 50% then village shield turns into "reinforced mode" where you CANNOT keep attacking for 48 hrs...
During that time defenders can decide if they call for help and defend or whatever they do... After 48hrs since shields turned reinforced you can take the shield till 0% and then you would hit the palisade/brick walls HPS till zero and beging raiding if they didnt defend it or so...

WHY ITS SO HARD?

Good point
(To be honest, I was really busy IRL so I didn't discuss this one. Not an excuse for me I guess *shrug*)

Even without hand-bashing it takes 1 hour for a tower to soak and be able to destroy rams, if I understand thing correctly. It means that you need to check siege every ~40 minutes to ensure ram won't be sneaky-beaky destroyed by a tower. Again, you need to spend a full day (without sleeping) just to tear down ONE wall, and there can be multiple of them. Even 32 hours for a brick wall. Meh.

If only we had tried that, indeed.
