Suggestion: give them damage drop-off at long range, like other units. Once I got my trebuchet wing rolling, the enemies were scrambling to prepare for the coming onslaught. Due to reinforced, trying to take them down with archers is a joke. The defender has the advantage due to walls, true, but you still need an amount of trebuchets pretty close to the attacker’s number to stand a chance. I’ve found that their range and damage is so good, whichever side has more of them is the de facto defender during any battle, including sieges. Secondly, they turn the siege on its head. It looks retarded, and it plays out just as retardly. Suggestion: Make trebuchets move -or- shoot. Many infantry units can’t hope to catch them at all until the map runs out. They should not be able to kite them for 3-4 turns straight (sometimes the battle maps are small, but often they’re big enough to allow it). Cavalry would seem to be a direct counter to trebuchet. I ended up losing half that stack, with damage on some of the remaining units, even though I lobbed a fireball or two from my (absent) leader. The result was that I only gained ground slowly (and this though I was cav). The trebuchet kept moving backwards every turn, and firing. I attacked 3 trebuchet in the open field with 6 dwarven boar riders once. These pros work pretty well together, and cause several silly problems.įirst of all, trebuchet kiting.
At the point of the game when they roll out, they have pretty high hp, and as they’re “reinforced”, they also have 14 defense against the easiest sort of attack to reach them with.ģ) They have very high range, without damage drop-off. There’s almost no investment to get them, as the building that makes them is highly desirable on its own anyway.Ģ) They’re very sturdy. You can get them out in the early game relatively easy. So what exactly are my problems with trebuchets? Let me start by summing up their strengths.ġ) They’re readily available. Keep this in mind before you suggest throwing Tier 4 stuff at the problem absed on SP experience the SP and MP playing field are nothing alike.
We’ve repeatedly rooted out the players that were clearly not focusing on defenses very early on (my record for first player killed is turn 5, though the guy was rather unlucky).
#AGE OF WONDERS III TREBUCHET BOULDERS PATCH#
We play mostly on medium sized maps, with patch 1.08, and we’ve found that a research-heavy strategy often just doesn’t work. That’s true to some point, with one notable exception: the fricking trebuchets. I play mostly Dreadnought, so you’d think that the more powerful machines are, the happier I’d be. I want to talk about one such issue that is very pertinent in my mind. Love it to bits, but there’s still some issues. Me and my friends have been playing MP AoW3 almost every night since the game came out.
