How to change the City Towers and Gates?

**aloaaloaaloa** · February 20, 2017, 07:29 AM

Hello, i want to increase the strength and damage of the City Towers (every faction). And if its possible, i want to increase the strength of the gates.

Had an experience that i would NEVER experience again. 120 enemy horse riders burnt down me City Gates with TORCHES in two minutes

and in the same time, my two Towers which fired both three fire arrows kills seven riders

So, i have already the pfm. Can someone explain me, what i have to do??

Thank you guys.

ok, i think i found it:

db_battlefield_Buildings.

there i can see the hitpoints of the gates, they stand at "3.100". Will try to increase it to 60.000.... i can see the Towers, too. Can someone explaing, which table i have to change, to increase the damalge value of the towers??

Look in projectiles_tables, should be arrow_tower.

I'm playing a campaign with Large unit size and one of the reasons i'll go back to Medium size is because I think towers are more effective against a lower unit size.
The other reason is that I feel that during sieges the cities are way too small for the amount of units...

You can just increase their damage and amount of arrows. Plus there are actual archers/slingers/javeliners in the garrison and city assaults are rare so I see no point in decreasing unit size and resyarting campaign just for that.

My game

I can't even remember last time I've stormed city walls as I always plant my battles, baiting AI armies to rescue their city so I can beat both armies in land battle, instead of losing a lot more men in city assault, which can leave that army vulnerable to nearby AI army. In other words, I find storming city walls pointless

That way I not only gain city with minimal losses but I also destroy nearby threat. If auto resolve is really in my favour and there is not AI army nearby, I just do that. With new patch we released, storming the walls should be a bit more dangerous as I've increased tower damage.
