    Default My own city towers set my own city on fire grr.

    The city watch towers fire flaming arrows and set my own city on fire when im trying to defend, leaving repair bills.

    Can one set towers not to fire flaming arrows?.

    I believe it is possible to give all towers simple arrows/bolts/whatever non-flammable round type by modding.

    This is remarkably funny since in MTW the original, when you had built proper cannon towers for your castle, the rear Towers would actually hit your castle walls when the enemy got anywhere near them, busting your walls for the AI to get in!

    I remembered complaining about this on the CA forums, but no one else seemed to notice it. Funny and sad that it is in Atilla, like 10+ years later.

    Shogun 2 had such nice user friendly controls.

    I played the original MTW... and I NEVER had that issue. Sucks for you.

    But yes, fire + cities = dangerous.

    It doesn't bother me too much, because even successful city defenses have losses. Yet, an OPTION would probably be best.

    Ahh, a toggle would be fantastic... I lose so many of my own troops to rogue bolts

    I personally think this is cool you play with fire, you get burns
    fear is helluva drug

    “The only rule that ever made sense to me I learned from a history, not an economics, professor at Wharton. "Fear," he used to say, "fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe." That blew me away. "Turn on the TV," he'd say. "What are you seeing? People selling their products? No. People selling the fear of you having to live without their products." freakin' A, was he right. Fear of aging, fear of loneliness, fear of poverty, fear of failure. Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.” WWZ

    Have you had your daily dose of fear yet? craziii

    Would definitely be cool to switch off useless flaming arrows that do more harm than good to your own camp. I'd also like to be able to somehow direct my tower's fire. It's such a pain to watch your towers focus shattered enemy formations, reduced to a bare five men, while it could fire on big stacks and actually be useful.

    AI simple just shoot at enemy, too simplistic (AKA brainless)
    Its easy to make war with others, its never been easy when we need a peace.

    I wonder why they didn't keep the old system, where the towers used regular arrows against units and flaming arrows against siege engines.

    I've also wondered this. It makes sense and makes the towers seem a bit more like they're actually manned by humans instead of auto-gatling towers of laser death.

    Sega's targeted marketing studies showed that kids will buy more games when there is plentiful fire! Don't forget to pack a fruit cup, play some Attila fire after school.
    Shogun 2, no thanks I will stick with Kingdoms SS.

    any fix on after you win a tower over. it collapses. instead of helping you firing on the enemy. any plans in the mix to fix this?

    nobody seemed to mention that fire generated from buildings can kill your troops!. My general and a few of my elephants died to building fire.

    Because towers are unmanned autofirers...ofc they can hit your own settlement/men.

    For the love of God cant we build properly manned towers that involve some fighting between actual men...really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
