    Everybody has its own style of writing (posting) and it should be respected without any sort of comment.
    Textwriting with ....... is mainly a way of simulating spoken language and widely used in modern literature.
    Why not simply stop trying to impose "your way" by constantly showing your disappoval and respect everybodys personal writing style ?...
    just a suggestion though..

    I'm not sure, but are burning oils turned on or off in this mod? I'm starting to mix details like these up among mods. Anyway; if oils are turned on - then a ram held by valuable soldiers is stupid, one can always use mercenaries, auxiliary or militia troops for using rams. Siege towers and sap points are probably the safest ways to go, since they don't expose your units as much as ladders and rams does. Altough both of them takes up alot of time - siege towers take forever to get to the damn wall and forever to get units stacked up enough to actually get on to the wall.

    It's a matter of taste or patience. If you dislike having to wait alot and accept extra losses - then go with ladders(in my opinion better than rams since they can't get destroyed). You can always use siege towers and sap points target them up and then use the tripple speed button if you dislike waiting - but with time limit on it still takes a chunk of that timer plus after the tower is finished, you have a long and annoying fight on the wall itself left.

    Personally I prefer sap points, because I don't play with time limits and I dislike wall-fighting due to the lack of strategic inpact one can have once that fight is initiated. There are other ways to use any type of siege equipment but I find it pretty lame and do not support it; many players have discovered the "wonderful" stupidity of the AI when they move their army to one of the sides of the city - thus facing no opposition except for the towers. The only equipment which could really fail in those situations are rams since it takes alot less for them to catch on fire than a siege tower.

    Sorry for the long comment, I tend to do that when I'm caught up in the writing.

    I'm not sure in this mod. But I can tell you one thing though - in vanilla, gladiators were so incredible on walls. They don't use formations or any special abilities, just plain and simple hand to hand individual combat - amazing.

    This whole thing is obscenely off-topic, but I had a really good laugh nonetheless

    In any case I would tend to agree with you Ferdiad, posting with long lines of rather unmotivated "......" after every few words is annoying because it makes the post harder to read. You could, however, probably work on your diplomatic practice ^^

    My personal mental image is one of those Hollywood-style mafia bosses with lung cancer who have to use their breathing machine after every third word ("Johnny you have to ........ make him suffer ..... but make it ....... look like an accident ..... )

    I'm having serious problems when trying to read your post - for the sake of my health please avoid those dots which make me hold my breath until i finished counting them each time during the pause between two words.
