Syracuse's Walls

[Caligula Caesar]

My word! I was playing a battle for my AAR, expecting it to be a hard-fought victory. It was the Siege of Syracuse...

And the towers were shooting rocks at me! They annihilated 3 of my four siege towers, killed more than half of my men, among them my general. I had to replay the battle, since my hero dying so soon in the AAR really wouldn't do

Anyway, I haven't besieged any other cities with stone walls and fought the battle on the battle map. Is it like that on every city? I saw some kind of building in Syracuse which appears to give Syracusae better walls.

Secret weapon = Archimedes

Seriously tho, Im not aware of any special abilities of the "Stone Walls", perhaps the coders can shed some light on this!

[Shqiponja_Hayabusa]

hahaha, well that would be awesome if they implemented that in. Archimedes made it cost dearly to the romans with his gadgets..

The cite as a especial building there call
The Citadel of Euryalus and the walls of Epipolae

Location: Sikelia (Syracuse)


The cite is very hard to conquer.

The cite is very hard to conquer.

I think "very hard" indeed is the correct way to describe it...
With the following bonuses:

• wall_level 3
• tower_level 3
• gate_defences 2
• gate_strength 2

Lets make all stone walls have those bonuses

Oh, God no! Everything but the ranged missles is fine by me, but if I had to go through that every time I had to capture a town...

[Caligula Caesar]

Actually, I think its the "Citadel of Eurylus and Walls of Epipolae" building, which is present in the city So no Archimedes

Edit: Damn! Kepper beat me to it

[kepper]

I did add the bonus,
Caligula Caesar you think they are to much.

I suppose you need to make capturing the place a challenge somehow Did you add a similar one to Carthage? I heard their walls were very secure

[kepper]

Nope but good point.

[Maurits]

Hm...

Would it be possible to make different wall values for the different campaign difficulties?

[Pat89]

(Those bonuses I listed are Syracuse only...)
