Aight, so I finally started fighting against egyptians and I have 1 question. How to capture their gateway? It has no doors...

[czePowerslave]

Its not possible. I tried as well. Glitch, bug, whatever. Go walls. and go huge unit settings, otherwise you got the game too easy.

I'd go on huge settings but my pc cant handle that... SPQR has really nice units but my pc is just too old (Radeon 9000 with 128 VRAM, 1 GB DDR RAM, AMD Athlon 2100+ 2.1 Ghz processor) It was bought back in 2003... I have saved some money and planing to buy a new pc maybe on christmas...

CA never made the collision for the egyptian games and just just eastern walls instead of the egyptain walls. When we added these walls back were couldnt make them to be captured so.....

They still look MUCH better than just using the eastern and are harder in a way as you can capture them.

It's really harder to fight against egyptians cuz legionaires have to climb up the ladders but yea, they look much better than eastern walls

You can just Batter down the doors lol.

[Legio IX]

Well I dont really use battering rams on stone walls cuz most of the time they get on fire + my men walking through uncaptured gateway would probably die from boiling oil?

[lt1956]

Ballistas and Catapults work fine also.

[Legio IX]

Yeah, but I don't use them in Campaign cuz they give movement penalty...

Dig under the walls. Thats what he meant.

[saienga]

Ya, ya. Build sap points as part of your siege equipment. Even town watch can sap. Then, during the assault, they disappear into the ground like little moles, and BAMMO! walls come tumblin' down.

Drawback is that you have to repair the walls once you own the city, and your attack is funneled through holes in the wall (with no immediate access to the missile troops above), but it beats boiling oil at the gates.

[Legio IX]

Yea... But not allways I can build sap points. Sometimes it says: construction of this siege equipment is not possible...

[saienga]

Well, true. If the wall is thick enough (or thin enough) sapping isn't possible...but when it is, it's a pretty good alternative.

Other than that, though, either scale the wall, beat down the gates, or bring siege engines. You're at war. You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

Mmm... I love omelet

Well I am trying to get someone to fix this gatehouse. Alot of modders have improved on making New walls for Custom Mods so someone should know how to fix this and make it full functional. I hope I CAN find someone who will help on this.

I also I am trying to get the Fort fixed for the Romans so the Ditch is outside the Fort!

That would be awesome. Keep up the good work lt!

Franky, I always wait them out if I can

This also.

[lt1956]

I always siege, thats the fun of the garrison script its more bloody also. whats the point of the garrison script if you dont siege. lol

[czePowerslave]

It is a siege. But when you are assaulting a city with full garrison, you are most likely to lose nearly entire army and trusting legion to AI is like sending them to march over the sea on foot.
