Heads up, Since the search function is wonky, I can’t really check if this has been suggested before.
Would it be possible to have a Siege towers as a siege weapon? If you don’t know what one is here’s a very rudimentary one from LoTR. http://cf.shacknews.com/shack_images/sshots/lotr_battle/Siege_Tower_in_Action_ea.jpg
Basically, they’re built and then pushed to a tower/castle wall to allow soldiers to tactically penetrate defenses.
Obviously there are a lot of if’s and but’s for something like this, but hear me out.
Yes this has the potential to be extremely unfair, however the opposite can also be said. If, for instance, we were allowed to build Siege towers anywhere, it would definitely be a problem.
However if siege tower building was limited to keeps or camps, and had the travel speed of say…a dolyak, then I think it really would provide some dynamic game play experiences. yes, it will be easy to penetrate defenses with, but that’s only IF it makes it to the desired destination. The same as how supplies are only delivered IF the dolyaks make it without being killed. These obviously wouldn’t be the easiest things to hide either.
As to how they would be scaled by players….I have no idea….really steep stairs? warp to the top?
Overall, I just feel Siege towers would be something that could greatly enhance the feeling that you’re actually in “Warfare”. It’s really something I’d like to see explored post season 1
