Siege Artillery - 2/27/2007 7:56:49 AM

Status: offline 		While besieging a particularly well-defended city, all of my regular brigades were wiped out, leaving only the siege artillery. Apparently, they could not be damaged by the defenders. On the next turn, I continued the siege on 'encircle' and, on subsequent turns, quickly reduced the city and captured it. Is this the way it is supposed to work? I don't know what the defenders had -- maybe my siege guns were out of their range?

With the sieges I have had, if you or the enemy's army is wiped out while besieging a fort, then you have to move troops into the province or your siege will dissappear the next turn if you don't move in more troops. I don't know if Your Siege Guns would survive being in a province alone with enenmy troops in it, as I have never yet but completely wiped out in a siege with only my siege gun remaining, nor have I ever yet moved a siege gun through enemy territory all by itself.

I know the Devs. have made adjustments to siege mechanics for the new patch, and I am sure one of them will answer your question better than I.

That's GRRREEEATTT!!! I can't wait to capture some Infernal Yankee Siege Guns. Devils, dastardly curs, poltroons, urchins, cretins, lollygaggers, pollywogs, with all their Infernal Contraptions and such.

Then, when playing the North, I can capture those Siege Guns from the scuvry and raucous Rebel Hordes, those riotous and rebellious Johnnies, making all that noise and raising such a ruckus.

that's really good - a side question - did you guys consider making the bigger siege guns more expensive ?
