Does anyone know what the siege rules are any more?

[Felon]

Do catapults damage walls? Do they need 2 hours to dry or 24? Do archery towers attack wrecking balls? CAN BATTERING RAMS MOVE? HOW FAR? WHEN? HOW LONG DO THEY TAKE TO REPAIR? What are the rules to this game right now??

No continuous changelog page + wiki barely updated anymore because nobody can keep up with this crap = who even cares how the game works at this point

Do archery towers attack wrecking balls?

no

Wait, so if I guard a wrecking ball for 24h and not let anyone attack it I can sidestep the entire siege chess thing?

You can't put a key on a wrecking ball, anyone can disassemble it.

that would be the point of guarding it...

Sure, if you want to guard it 24 hours straight so that nobody messes with it, then all the more power to you. If the claim owner is only semi-active, or in an out of the way place, there is a good chance you won't even have to guard it.

It takes a couple of seconds and a naked alt to disassemble it, that's what I meant. And you can't stop naked alts, cause they're infinitely disposable. You'd have to surround the wrecking ball with alts too.
I think spending 22.5 hours in a video game only *actively idling* (if that makes sense) without being able to take even a 2 minute break to go to the bathroom isn't a very viable strategy.

So we can't really "sidestep" the entire siege chess this way, unless the claim is inactive, as you mentioned.

I was thinking more making a naked alt wall around the wrecking ball to guard it, and then sticking around to make sure that nobody could come along and push anyone out of the way... naked alts work both directions.

This seems like a valid strategy for those of us that play alone but still interested in the raiding part of the game.

We probably need to maintain a central point of accurate info on this.
