Trebuchet ?
« on: 24 January 2014, 18:58:30 »
Hi.  In Age of Empires is one unit trebuchet .

https://www.google.com/search?q=trebuchet&client=ubuntu&hs=PmS&channel=fs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=irXiUsXfFLK5yQONzIH4BQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=678#channel=fs&q=trebuchet+age+of+empires&tbm=isch

It has largest range in that game, and built to destroy defensive building of an proponent : Castles, Guard Towers etc.

In Megaglest there is not such unit. For this reason  many games in small maps (especially) tend to by drawish.   Both sides build tower  after that no one can win.

What do you think it would be great idiea, if  Megaglest will have units like Trebuchet ? They will be slow, but will have long range.

This can be a nice idea for some tech tree. Actually there is one which has a unit named Trebuchet, but I'm not sure it does what you have in mind.

The Megapack (default techtree in MegaGlest) will most likely not see any larger modifications such as this - this is a design decision because it is considered because any such changes can effect in loss of faction balance. However, you can, without much effort, create a copy of Megapack and add an existing Trebuchet unit to it to give it a try. Or, better yet, create your own tech tree. That's all possible, thanks to the open nature of this game.

For me the trebuchet is equivalent to the cataput!
