Ranger Tower

[kLauE]

To protect brickwalled villages with sniper.

- every tower requires X authority to can build, so if you have 7 towers, you need at least 7xX authority
- every tower drains village-authority
- boosts dmg from ranged weapons by X
- boosts agi by X
- lowers the chance to get hit by ranged weapons when you are in one


Problem is, that you could use that in vaults. But for villageprotect it would rock.

I like that.

what about moveable siege towers with similar mechanics?

[SacreDoom]

Hm, might try my hand at drawing one..

Yeah, having some more advantage when defending a village would be cool, but as you said it would make attacking vaults even more annoying.

I agree that a defensible position within a town would be awesome. Definitely a +1 to this item regardless of the balance issues that it would cause.
Now we just really need more reasonable ways to siege a town.

Now we just really need more reasonable ways to siege a town.

That definitely should happen first, or even better everything at once when a completely new system of sieging and defending is introduced.

I love the idea, but i thought of it something more like this:

You can't shoot through walls / palisades
You can shoot over the wall though if you are standing in a tower
However, if you are standing in the tower, people can shoot at you as well
It's harder to aim you though, since you can take cover in the tower

I don't think you should get a bonus to MM or agi though, just seems weird. I like the idea that the y drain authority though.

[ninja_yodeler]

yeah, good idea OP. would make great new ways for combat. and makes vaults even more challenging, considering that there should be no true hearthvaults lefts.

[SacreDoom]

Well, if course you can make it so that the wall can only extend from the middle tiles of the sides of the ranger towers, like so:

W = Wall

T = Tower

T T T
W W W T T W W W
T T T

Then they can't be built near an (accesible, at least) edge without you being able to place a ram here:

W = Wall

T = Tower

R = RAM

R R R T T T R R R
W W W T T W W W
T T T

Definitely need better siege mechanics.
