[@CassiusDrake]

Yah, if they had wanted historical accuracy, they should have functioned more like mobile towers, or short-ranged battering rams. Basically give them some melee armor and lower their speed and base damage from the current amounts and require garrisoned units to increase their damage. Maybe with a bonus to attacks against them made from the back to provide some counter-play and simulate enemies breaking in to the center of the ring?

In reality these wagons were a huge counter against heavy cavalery because they had something like 8 halberdiers on the top and because maximum of horses reaching close distance was about 3 and knights with their swords had their heads exactly at the level of halberds, and didn´t mention the shooting and smoke frightened horses

Historian: "I thought the Samurai were made obsolete because of gunpowder?" Samurai: "Eh, we're the anime kind."

[@heinz8233]

The samurai caste dominated Japan until the XIX century. If anything, they lost certain importance in the front line due to economic changes and social reforms that made big numbers of disciplined rank and file infantry more viable than low level warrior caste duels. More or less the same happened in Europe, where economic and social advances made viable for cities and countries to field formations of semi professional and disciplined pike wielding men and made the classic heavy cavalry knightly class switch to other roles in warfare. Gunpowder had been around for hundreds of years before heavy cavalry started to fade away.

[@fernetstock1]

The wagon should have a minumum range for its cannon and under that range be able to use melee attack in form of spears poking out having low damage with bonus against cavalry.

[@tomascernak6112]

honestly as a Czech, I am disappointed. Hussite wagons were immensely superior to anything in late medieval age. And in this game, they are rekt by many pathetic units. It will be not a problem if these wagons will be cheap, but they are expensive, especially on wood, which is in longer games precious commodity. it will be fine, if they add special "siege" mode, when these wagons will deploy like trebuchets into much more stronger, armed, but immobile variant of palisade wall. Because deployment and repacking ow HW was historically extremely fast (they were capable to rearrange positions during battle), i would say, that deployment and packing in game should be half time of trebuchets packing time.

[@SethBennion]

The reason they aren't as powerful as you hoped is because of game balance

[@tomascernak6112]

@@SethBennion Dont say :-) But in game balancing there is one serious drawback. They are siege weapon so they can not be healed only repaired. Why it is a problem? Because monks heals automatically and from distance, meanwhile repairing is micro-heavy task and done by fragile units from vicinity. For example, Spanish conquistadors are mediocre unit, but get pack of donkeys behind them, and they are virtually undefeatable with good micro and enough space to maneuver. This applies in some degree to majority of units from castle. But not to HW. Which are also expensive AF. Yes, in showdown one on one, they are quite good, but in game, they are not. As I said, if they have at least deploed mode and they could serve as mobile palisade wall.

[@belisarian6429]

Well thing is, in history Hussite wagons were there fast deploy fortification, there to support cannons and hand cannons, wagons themselves didnt do whole lot of killing cannons did, so I think considering how Bohemians in game get early hand cannons and Houfnices, I think it reflects this fact pretty well. I think few wagons, lot of crossbows or hand cannons, optional halbs for cav and houfnices is pretty decent composition. Also dont forget that wagons dont seem to have any hard counter (with few unique unit exceptions), so they can tank almost anything, even cav or champions, if you have enough support behind them.

[@mo_not_salah9752]

Okay, shall we play "predict the nerf"? I predict they will introduce a minimum range for those bullet shooting boxes.

[@kavinh10]

wood's going to 150 and gold raised to 85. These things are way too cheap for what they do, they're basically a strictly better version of war wagons that don't take bonus damage from skirms or pikes, on a civ that has monks as a trash unit.

[@sgtpepper8581]

Minimal range?? Really??

[@ringofasho7721]

Technically it was the crews maning the wagon which was an early mix of pike and shot and medium bombards, hence the early excess to chemistry and handcannons and the bonus for your spearman line to do even more bonus damage as well as the houfnice upgrade for your bombard cannons, but yeah it's sad that they seem to suck against units they are supposed to counter at least from a historic perspective.
