Siege Defense Buff
[See latest patches in the pinned discussion or access a refined change list in the Change Notes tab]
Have you ever felt that siege defense battles are no longer fun? Do you miss the days when defense towers were actually useful? Do you wonder every now and then, why you even bother to build walls, when the enemy could easily line them up with invincible siege engines?
Well this mod is here to solve all these problems! This Siege Defense Buff aims to make the great wall great again! The mod basically reverts the nerfs to the siege defenders implemented in TWH II, and reverts them back to what they were before. Wall towers of all levels have their firing speeds buffed back to those in TWH I. All siege towers are nerfed.
In addition, this mod tries to fix a few inconsistencies to make it fit better with the slightly new siege mechanics in TWH II.
Essential changes:
–All defense tower sizes now fire faster, at the same rate as in TWH I.
….–This means that tier-1 towers are much less affected, while tier-4 tower has twice the fire rate
….–tier-2 turrets do 25% more base damage
….–tier-3 turrets do 25% more base damage and are 60% less inaccurate
….–tier-4 turrets do 20% more base damage and are 30.6% less inaccurate
….–all turrets still do the same amount of armor-piercing damage.
–All siege towers have their HP nerfed back to the same level in TWH I.
….–Factions that were not present int TWH I are also affected, because all siege towers are supposed to have the same HP anyways, so all New World factions’ siege towers got nerfed down the same amount.
–Many Old World missiles with fire damage is now able to target siege towers, this includes (for now):
….–Bretonnian Peasant Bowmen with fire arrows
….–Empire grenades
….–Woodelf starfire units
….–Dwarfen flame throwers
….–Dwarfen torpedoes (because why the heck not)
….–Dwarfen blasting charges of all sorts
–Misc. fixes:
….–Tier-3 defense towers for Bretonnia and Greenskins now do magic damage.
–Should be compatible with anything that doesn’t alter the above features, including other defense/battle rebalances.
