Castles, Forts and Cities

**verena xeventus** · October 23, 2006, 01:38 AM

1. From what I have seen of the screenshots, it looks like the cities still have a keep within the walls, which would make them into semi-castle structures right? Hope so personally.

2. I am glad to see the re-appearence of forts, but it would have been nice if they were a bit more like small castles than a simple encampment.

3. In RTW to take a city you had to secure the central forum, will it be the same for me2tw, or is there something else... maybe you have to wipe out the enemy completely before you take the city, or maybe you have to breach the keep walls?? Any suggestions?

4. Can soldiers stand on the top of towers or be garrassoned inside towers, instead of just standing on the walls of cities?

5. Do any castles/fortresses have moats? (cos I aint seen any screenshots of one... not that I can remember anyway) I would love to see a draw bridge in a seige.

Finally, Im curious, I aint seen any mott and bailey castles in the screenshots, Does anyone know if there are mott and bailey castles in the game? :hmmm:

1. Yes this does appear to be true.

2. Im glad they're not like Castles, as otherwise if the ai builds a lot of them there are likely to be a lot of siege battles. Plus castles took many years to build.

3. You still have to take the town centre.

4. No. But in M2TW you will need soldiers on a wall near a tower for it to shoot arrows, otherwise it will not.

5. I do not think they do.
