Patch Notes v1.6.27 Sieges Rework

We've gotten a lot of feedback and suggestions on how we can improve sieges. This rework is a result of that feedback! Overall we feel this covers most but not all the issues with sieges, so if there any further thoughts/concerns/suggestions let us know and we'll keep adjusting! Steam post image

Behavior Changes

• Units only charge out of the gate you break, the rest form up at a central point

Village Battles

• Village garrisons now have a single centered gate instead of multiple spread across the wall

• Side walls now angle outward at 45°, giving villages a distinct defensive shape compared to castle garrisons

Gate Changes

• Gates now have increased missile resistance from 25% -> 50% ranged fire is less effective at tearing them down

• Gate ranged attacks now sweep a wider 170° firing arc, covering almost the full front

• Gates now scale in health based on town size (was 750, now 500 -> 800 -> 1200) open to feedback on health

Garrison Defenders

• Army losses penalty application on gate breaking removed

• All defenders gain +10 Leadership throughout the duration of the battle

• All unit types can now be ordered to attack garrison defenders directly

• Units stationed behind an intact gate now have increased missile resistance, making them harder to soften up before the breach

  • This bonus is removed the moment their gate falls

  • A new status icon appears on garrisoned defender squads so you can clearly see which enemy units are protected by the walls
