Description
The Romans will have the best siege capabilities in the game.
So they are the ones to be rushed? ^^
Right. I'd say they'll be strong in the late game, while others will try to rush them early.
Ohh the Ampurias catapult. Nice! One Q, are you guys adding crew members to the siege equipment? For shooting, reloading, defending and movement etc?
Yeah, that is the plan, that each Siege Weapon should have at least 1 or 2 guys firing and reloading it. Consequently, Siege Weapons will cost more population room.
The big catapult is the BALLISTA and the smaller catapult is the SCORPIO. These are Republican Roman siege weapons (despite showing Imperial Legionnaires standing next to them). The Imperial Romans in 0 A.D. Part 2 will have the CHEIROBALLISTA and ONAGER.
these are imperial legionaries, aren't they? did you decide to release them in the first part of the game?
oh nvm. didn't read all the posts above
Mythos, will towers have an archer on top ( just for show?) ?
The plan is to be able to garrison archers into towers for a nice attack, range, and line of sight bonus.
