Welcome to Dev Blog #8! Siege weapons are here, and they're about to change how sieges play out.
At a glance
- Eight siege weapons: cannons, mortars, oil casts, trebuchets, catapults, ballistas, hwacha and siege shields
- Some have special abilities, like poisonous attacks and burning areas
- Crafted with steel
What are they?
Siege weapons are tools built to give you the edge in a siege. Used right, they can flip the tide of a fight completely.
There's a solid variety to choose from, each bringing something different to the battlefield:
- Cannons
- Mortars
- Oil casts
- Trebuchets
- Catapults
- Ballistas
- Hwacha
- Siege shields
Why we added them
Not everyone on the server is a skilled fighter, and siege weapons are here to change that. With the right strategy and the right placement, someone who isn't great in a straight-up fight can still have a massive impact on a siege.
Some of them come with special abilities too: poisonous attacks, burning area effects, the kind of thing that can wipe out enemy forces when used well.
Make sure they're part of your siege plans going forward. They're not just an option anymore, they're a real strategy.
How to get them
Siege weapons are crafted using steel, the custom resource we introduced in our blacksmithing video a while back. Recipes for each weapon will be released in the guide channels soon.
Now you've got this kind of destructive power in your hands, how will you use it?
See you in the next one!
