Welcome to the eighth Pactoria dev blog. Siege weapons are here, and they're about to change how sieges play out.
What are they?
Siege weapons are tools built to give you the edge in a siege, and used right they can flip the tide of a fight completely. There's a solid variety to choose from: cannons, mortars, oil casts, trebuchets, catapults, ballistas, hwacha and siege shields, each bringing something different to the battlefield.
Why we added them
Not everyone on the server is a skilled fighter, and siege weapons are here to change what that means. With the right strategy and the right placement, someone who isn't strong in a straight up fight can still have a massive impact on a siege.
Some of them carry special abilities too: poisonous attacks, burning area effects, the kind of thing that can wipe out enemy forces when used well. Worth building into your siege plans going forward. They aren't just an option, they're a real strategy.
How to get them
Siege weapons are crafted using steel, the custom resource we covered in Dev Blog #2. Recipes for each weapon will be published in the guides soon.
Now that this kind of destructive power is in your hands, how will you use it? See you in the next one.
