Dark elves RETARDED!!!!!

**Darkcrusader8** · June 04, 2011, 11:27 PM

I am playing as the empire barony of the Ocland I arrived at turn 35 and the game tells me I have to watch out because the dark elves are coming... they are so many at a certain point some armiessiege one of my cities the one were I put all my soldiers (so it is completely full)

I prepare myself for the huge battle extremly excited

but guess what happend????? the stupid Dark elves attack me immediately without making any siege equipment(and the city was full of my men)...even better I thought... but I was so wrong... the army is attaching me using the only artillery available for the Dark elves .. the one that throw bolts, which is so bad against the buildings

and whatever they are attaccking walls, or gate they cannot breach into it because they finish ammunition before, and so I won the battle without doing anything

.....I really like the fact that they attach immediately rather than waiting for ages but at least a turn to build some siege weapons is cumpolsury especially if u do not have any good artillery!!!!!

yes indeed, maybe we should increase the damage of the elf siege weapons to buildings.

If you begin to say that dark elves are retarded, you are going to create a whole war with all dark elves's fans

Run in terror!

Anyway, I would be upset too. Getting all hyped-up for an intense battle and getting a bogus siege is a terrible disappointment.

Here are some kittehs to make you feel better:

I wonder, was it a scripted battle or just a normal army, if it was a script battle when it is just weird, but when again I only play Averland.............And Dark elf some times

no,its the ai. i had a similar thing playing as kislev. chaos turn up with 3 full stacks,attack one of my citys which only has about 7 units inside with 2 of them.im dead thinks i.
fire their cannons at my walls which they breach fully,then up comes a box saying ive won! both enemy stacks keel over dead.
or ive had ork stacks do the same thing,fail to breach the walls and then they just stand there and dont move.
there are many variants on this theme! cheers

ahh,little kitty wittys.now would some kindly ork mind useing them as a condom please? cheers

the older version of CoW have some unit like "Marauder with ram" "Marauder with Siege Tower" , make some DE unit like this will solve the problem .
This pic is the proof

mw2xboxplayer , I like the kitty , + rep

I agree, maybe it should be done to all armies in scripted battles. I remember even dark elves had units with siege weapons when I played my 1.3 campaign as Reikland and got attacked by Malekith.

thanks for the kittens

but I was wondering how may I solve the situation for now???

any solution for me would be fine: like increasing THE DAMAGE against building, increasing AMMUNITION etc.

if any kind soul could tell me what to modify and where it will make me really happy

now I cannot play waiting to solve this problem

I don't think you would be able to change any of the dark elves' unit stats without having to re-start your current campaign, as save-games become incompatible when you change the EDU. (I could be wrong, but my past experience is that save-games become incompatible.)

No, edu changes are save-compatible.

If the Dark Elves are smart enough to field a large enough army to ensure taking your settlement, what it retarded about that?

On a seperate issue I wonder if the square itself could be moved to different parts of a city? Such as those areas which would serve as a citadel of sorts.
