    Default Field artillary

    Okay, at the risk of annoying cb, i've noticed that several people who voted no were the ones that disliked teh field artillary.

    Well, i have a lot of doubts about that part of it as well, even though i like the rest of it, so i thought i'd just put this to vote and let it speak for itself.

    Thus the question is simple, assuming that the upgrades passes, shall we include the field artillary part of it?

    Hardly unbiased poll statements and I see there is no "hippy" option either...

    I personally think it hould be watered down o does the enemy have artillary? if not than bonus to who has it [to be determined later] i they both have it....then we could say they cancel each other out and its a normal battle...

    You could add a modifier to all rolls for field Artillery that takes into account the unreliability of early gunpowder weapons.So there could be plenty of scope for misfires and the things just blowing up taking out the crew and anyone within the vicinity.

    This would even things up really but any old hoo i am voting yes just because i would love to see someone buy a load of expensive kit only to see it blow up on its first outing perhaps.

    I agree wit hflash..I'd love to see someone spend a large sum of money on a artillery kit just for it to explode and kill some of their men with it..
    It also was highly inaccurate..so shouldn't there be a risk of it hitting your own troops instead of the enemy?

    It should not be that complicated i bet anything Stildawn or Raglan could come up with some simple modifiers for it.

    i'm just agaisnt them at the moment. My history lessons may be failing me here, but i beleive the first every cannon was used by england against france during the hundred years wars (which is right where we are now) it is supposed to have killed the massive number of 1

    which makes me think we're just too early, i'm partially against them as seige weapons, but at least thats more believable.

    I don't want them en masse. Maybe like one for 400-2,000 florins or something.
    Same thing with hand-held gunpowder..we're not China or Asia..so we don't have that much of it..and Europe was slightly still pro-longbow, crossbow, and knights right now.

    I believe you are speaking of Crecy Raglan(that's the one that comes to mind) all the cannons really did was scare the horses

    so if i got rid of the field artillery idea, would people be more likely to support castle upgrades/siege weapons?
