Title: Needed Siege engines.
Post by: fallendice on July 21, 2009, 15:20:35 PM
This may be around, but I didn't see anything specifically while I searched.  But how many Trebuchets are needed basically to take a level 6, and a level 7 fortress.  I know army is important too, but want to make sure I take enough siege engines.  Thanks

depends if the fort has soldiers in it and what soldiers .... the lvl of your range attack
you need 200 trebuchets for a lvl 7 fort
to be sure you can use the battle simulator

*stop* i lost a siege a year ago against a fortress 7 with 500 trebuckets, my problem was that i had low moral. If you have good moral 105-110 go with 300 to 400 trebuckets accompanied by some 50 to 75k guardians. try using the calculator, while doing so try not to underestimate the enemy fortification levels :evil3:. then at the end check your end moral to see if its above 50. lots of times the calculator says you will win, at times with 30 and 36 end moral, dont be fooled, you might just not be lucky. Hope that helps *Angry*

Well it heavily depends on morale after field battle and terrain type.
But it is always reasonable to calculate for mountain type provinces, where fortresses
have the most bonus to their hit points.
For example if I know I will have tough field battle I send 1700 trebs to fortress 7.
They basically take it out in 3-4 rounds. If the field battle is not that tough they can
handle fortress 8 aswell (usually 5-6 rounds, depending on fortification research of the enemy).

Here are examples:

for an f6 you'll need like 700 trebs to break it down fast , but with guardians (+ 12 000 ) and a couple of catas(150) you can take it if its empty f7 is like more than the double of trebs needed, and f8 is like 2300
(don't play since 5 months or smt , so don't rely on my memory that much *pardon* ) anyways the calculator is always the best way
