cities not getting ballista and scorpion defences ?

**jeff1304** · February 03, 2015, 04:18 PM

I just built my level 3 town that supposedly has these defenses but i cant find them any where is this a bug ?

It seems level 3 cities have this bug. Was it a normal city or one of the variants?

I don't know if this is a DeI bug or a vanilla bug.

I think it's a vanilla bug, as I have had the same issue playing other mods.

Funniest comment of the week goes to RollingWave!

You have most definitely not seen the new city defenses in action after the most recent patch.

it was the city of burdigala in the province aquitania and it is level 3

What recent patch? I had a siege a few days ago and the city artillery did almost nothing to the attackers. Only one ballista and one skorpion I could post near enough to be at all able to shoot but the effects were near zero. The city towers instead are of the greatest relevance.

And out of these 2 spots, 1 is almost certainly going to be overruned by attackers coming up from ladders.

I don't know how modable this is, but they need to let the unit be able to turn a little or just simply widen it's frontal arc.

I don't think any of this is moddable nor will it be in the future. The moddable game is Attila, but the time period is not my thing without the Greeks and Carthage.

What use is a moddable Attila? Like Napoleon it will just be less (smaller campaign map) sold as more, and zero integration with the Rome 2 GC.

Agreed, it's just more moddable, I won't buy it, not until it's 10$.

Also just finished finished a battle at the massila capital and i didnt have siege defenses there either. due to that i had to pull back to the inner wall and hold there.
