So act like one. Delegate."Aren't I supposed to be a baron?"
Most of the time, sieges aren't about battle at all. They're about starving the defenders, and for the defenders it's about holding out until reinforcements come. But if you really do need to take down the defences, at that time you'd probably dig under the walls to collapse them, rather than some kind of siege weapon to break through. Though magic can change things."Sieges still take over half a year, apparently."
wonder if someone let them in then. Either way recapturing, repelling and rebuilding may be interestingiirc that city is governed with full of corruption lol
Its not like the guy in charge has a kid who can build a fortress city OH WAITwhat's that? the city is badly damaged?
well, its a good time to put mc specialty to the rescued!
its time for little remodeling!
Regular carriages (~816.46 kg) had really thin wheels (1 to 3 inch) and they were the workhorse prior to gasoline engines. Also, the first gasoline engine vehicles had very thin wheels (~3 inch) and weighed (~893.577 kg), and both carriages and the first gasoline engines operated on dirt roads without magic. There are also some examples of steel covered carriages that have survived thru today. Those carriages were used in dangerous areas on dirt roads. Van also made some adjustments and made the wheels wider, and he never states what the carriages are made out of. Al, Fe, Steal, wood, mithril, orichalcum...Those tanks can only work if it's magically levitated. With the kind of roads they have, the horse-driven tanks would get stuck in the mud all the time. Compared to this, Dragon Quest's gun carriage makes a lot more sense.
Rather than making ramparts, I would like to see a situation where the enemy, having captured the city, is holed up in a fort somewhere and Van just deletes the walls. Have Van flex by basically removing the fort the enemy's holed up in, and just rebuild it after the fight's over.Hopefully Van gets to flex by instantly creating ramparts or something,
True, but these are not self-propelled. They're horse-pulled. Which means, it will be confined to the dirt road. The moment it leaves dirt road, they suffer softer terrain. There is a reason why people do not normally drive a horse-drawn carriage offroad. A little bit is fine. But over time, the soft dirt accumulates and makes the carriage harder to pull as the mud sticks to the wheels and due to the phenomenon of cohesion, the accumulated mud pulls down on the wheels. The horses, having to pull it will also have to dig deeper into the soil, thus making the horses, with their tiny hoofs also get stuck.Regular carriages (~816.46 kg) had really thin wheels (1 to 3 inch) and they were the workhorse prior to gasoline engines.
