    Default Wall towers OP

    I know it may be polemic but...

    Wall towers was buffed in a recent patch, but now I think they are way to powerful! A single turret gate without any other turret nearby shooting obliterate 4 units of mine and just one of them manage to rout without being totally destroyed. There was just 2 archers in the wall not shooting since they was in melee. When the enemy brought more troops, and reset the capture, another fully unit of me was destroyed by the tower. It take to long to capture or put into "neutral" a tower, a unit of horse that I sent to put on neutral a gate without any resistance had 42 units and ended with just 6. It really is unbalanced to lose basically 6 units just to turrets while you even have number superiority!

    Just to note: I used to playe with ultra units size and turrets never really bothered me much. But because of the lag, especially in sieges, I reduced my unit size to normal and now turrets just crush them! I think turrets need to be balanced for each unit size option.

    The towers were not buffed that much, the damage was increased but the AP damage was reduced, personally I always thought that the cities defences were lame, any general would expect to take losses attacking a walled city, as it was before, you would be lucky to lose 4-5 men before you got to the gate.

    Really, play a siege with ultra unit sizes and than do the same battle with normal units. You will see the difference. A tower can easily destroy a unit in normal very, very quick.

    Dont take me bad, I think ultra is MUCH more fun, but since it lags like hell when I have more than two stacks or in sieges, I reduced to normal because I got tired of the lag.

    Yeah I play on Ultra, couldn't pay it on less, if you know how to edit the database I could tell you where to go if you want to change the values for the towers.
