    Default Coming into city through breached wall

    When you breach a wall section after smashing it with catapults or cannons, can your men easily enter through that breach?
    In RTW, whenever I would smash down a portion of the wall, my men were able to walk through that breach as if there was no debris or rocks in the way. I hope in M2TW the debris makes for slower troop passage and forces the invading army to breach the gates sometimes.

    There is no rubble or anything, they walk nicely through. Sorry :/
    Btw, one great thing I noticed: Almost everything in cities is destroyable! One missed cannonball from my monster bombard smashed a church tower, it went down nicely. I love this..

    That would make sense. In RTW, crumbling walls would kill units on the walls as well as those unfortunate enough to get crushed by debris. Oddly enough, what kills the troops doesn't obstruct them.. I wish it was more like elephants, when they die, they get in the way.

    yeah, the reason I brought this up is because I want the AI to be forced to come through my gates. It looks awesome when they send their troops carrying the battering ram under a hail of flaming arrow fire towards your gates and they manage to breach the gates but the boiling oil and wall of pikes decimates them. To be honest though, this only happened 1 or 2 times for me in RTW as the AI was very unintelligent when it came to sieges.

    Spartacus, the monster bombard can take down a building with one hit? Were you playing this on a custom battle?

    Yeah, custom battle. I think that monster bombard makes 1000 damage (right?) So it takes down almost everythin with one shot. Except large walls, they needed like 3 or so.. Although monster bombard is pretty expensive.
    Buildings don't just collapse, if you hit a tower, it falls down. If you hit the wall, there's going to be a hole. And fires and smoke of course. =)

    Try attacking a group of elephants with the monster bombard and see how many you can fry.
