In the case of Siege Projects that speed up a siege, they will contribute extra Fortification Damage done per turn. Siege Projects are specific actions the attacker wants to undertake to take out certain defenses of the attacker, speed up the siege, construct siege engines or employ something else like stealing population from the besieged city, they often come at a cost and take up a Siege Project slots, which you can get more of through empire skills.Īs the attacker you can select which Siege Projects you wish to undertake only in the first turn of the siege, at which point they will be locked as your armies are executing your plans. Units with Siege Breaker in besieging armies, such as Giants and Iron Golems.Until Fortification Health reaches 0 at which point you can initiate an attack!įortification Damage per turn is determined by: Every turn during a siege, the Fortification Health (wall icon) will be diminished by the amount of Fortification Damage (broken wall icon) you deal. In the first turn of sieging, you have a nice overview of the Fortification Health of the city and its defense structures.

In the end, we came up with the Siege system, where defending players can invest in structures that help to delay attackers and affect the battle map. Our aim was to give defenders time to respond, to add more variety to City battles, and to not use the Garrison system to cut down on the amount of units involved in battle. ![]() It also couldn’t stop a player from launching surprise attacks and overwhelming the garrison in a single turn.Īge of Wonders 4 offered us an opportunity to sit down to tackle and improve upon these points. However, it added a lot of extra units to already huge fights with exactly the same layout, making players tired of fighting these kinds of battles and auto-resolving them. In Planetfall, we had garrisons to make sure cities and sector bases were defended at all times. ![]() In Age of Wonders 3 players had to make sure they always had armies close to vulnerable cities as they were not defended by default. Having one of your cities taken is therefore a huge blow and in the case of someone’s capital, could even result in a player losing or winning the game. Cities in Age of Wonders are the core of an empire’s economy, which in turn fuels their war machine.
