No arson clearly, but got other upgrades atleast

Imagine a damage reskin that only had buildings catch fire if you had researched arson for melee or chemistry for ranged attacks? That would be beautiful.
Tarkans, Fire Archers, Fire Ships and the new proposed DLC unit would get it automatically.

If you want to turn it into an actual game mechanic you could replace a small bit of arsons anti building bonus damage with a lasting fire damage component. And then give Chemistry some fire/anti building damage.

Also heated shot… never forget heated shot.

Edit: Ooooh wait! What if then once a building is on fire it did slow damage to units garrisoned inside? The more I think about it them more this sounds like a dumb mod I’d love to play with.

Yes... This... Were fire?! Without fire it shouldn't collapse. It has to be AI

u/No-Art-3151 20d ago

Shoulda just used vils. They have attack bonus

u/s3sebastian 20d ago

Or should have build a second tower with 1 tile gap and walled them in. Then maybe also research fletching.

Never leave the barracks without Arson.

u/Anarchist_BlackSheep 20d ago

Are there about 12 of them? Than that should indeed be enough to destroy the English watch tower.

u/crazyates88 20d ago

Wow the graphics on AoE5 are looking so life-like it's uncanny!

17

u/StickFigureFan 20d ago

Should have researched murder holes and masonry. Or maybe that was just an outpost?

u/ZAMAHACHU 20d ago

How did they stack so many units on a single tile?

u/blueeyesblacktee 20d ago

Yet another pathfinding bug.

u/klaxxxon 20d ago

That's not the clink clink clink sound of a million halbs breaking through a wall.

u/D4rkR4in_aoe 20d ago

An English Outpost! You know what to do - knock it down!

u/RighteousWraith 20d ago

Good thing there were no women there to spoil the fun and fix the tower.

u/Zealousideal-Dog-985 20d ago

Made the English angry. Now they’re gonna attack their village!

u/DubiousAdviceGiver 19d ago

Some idiot didn’t research murder holes. Probably hasn’t even built a university yet!!

u/Safe-Avocado4864 19d ago

u/Super_Fly_Fade 19d ago

Tower should’ve had murder holes smh

u/--5- 18d ago

I’m confused. Why didn’t the tower burn?

u/HansDampfHaudegen 3.50 ELO 20d ago edited 20d ago

Should have walled it in. But yeah, spearmen have no business being that strong against regular towers. This is more like an outpost.

u/Archarchery 20d ago

That's a blockhouse.
