The dev needs to fix the "everybody starves during sieges" thing. Like, soldiers don't take a break to eat if the battle goes on too long or something!

After a recent battle I had a ton of deranged running around in full gear; that's a liability! And expensive..

@@deighv Also a problem! The starvation problem is serious though. Soldiers should probably carry rations on them during sieges. That or fetch food from the nearest source during the battle... Also citizens should break curfew before starving. These issues are especially problematic for midsized cities. It makes it strongly preferable to simply fight the enemy on the field rather than in a defensive siege. And that's annoying because defensive sieges are theoretically the most cost effective and risk-free way to defend a small city with limited military resources.

Thank you, I love this battle.

62 survivors. You really just massacred every single one of them except an unlucky 62.

Garthimi on their home turf is something to behold- morale is not a factor there to my knowledge, which is their primary weak point

Ai must be well optimised for a large battle to not lag the game, I'm guessing this is done by making them be dumb as bricks. Somewhat reminds me of ye olden Age of Empires 2 ai, since that game allowed for giant swarms of individual units as well.

Kinda looks like the imperial city in a way, the one from Oblivion.

I can't unsee that, and now I'm wondering if I accidentally dug up an old memory!

Your city is built really nicely, i realy like it, i bet garthimis like it too. In my playthroughs i usually use every race at same time other than garthimis (unless as slave) because not gonna lie, they just look nasty and people dont like them lol. I think ill try to make garthimis only playthrough though, their city would need to look so different

@deighv Ай бұрын

Thank you! The city was a tremendous amount of planning getting things lined up just right. The Garthimi have some huge advantages in a city; namely in running logistics and being... simple- they only want clay, stone, meat, and fish- and their speed is only rivaled by the Tilapis. Most of their buildings need the same elements too, so setting up an empire of massive proportions for them is very simple, especially since they require no produced goods beyond Piva and Shedeh. The rest is only needed to construct/maintain advanced buildings, which is easy to import. And I think they're beautiful ;)

@sin5946 Ай бұрын

are the raiders also attack all your buildings in their reach as well?

@deighv Ай бұрын

I believe their logic is they destroy anything in their path on their way to the throne, and if there's locked gates in the way they'll target those. With unlocked gates they'll spread out along the walls more.

It's hard to tell from the video, but I heard some bow sounds - were you using bowmen this fight at all? I am currently approaching the stage of my game that I'll start warmongering and already got my first region, so I'll probably need some strong defenses - are bowmen manning walls a good idea, or should I rather focus on holding a strong line at the gate with several catapults dotted over the walls?

@deighv 3 ай бұрын

I'm just using catapults for ranged here but the setup you describe will be just as effective. Any time you can get some protected ranged units into play when your melee units aren't in the way of their fire you're in for a good time! If you ever get in over your head, remember you can always give away your wealth to keep raiders away, or become someone's b... vassal, and get out of any conflict for the low price of your pride and a yearly tithe.

Is this modded or does the base songs of syx game support siege/city battles? I've not encountered many videos of it but many fields battles which seems odd. Looks like songs of syx have no concept of a third dimension? for instance archers on walls with people below working or whatever. It looks like your city walls just act as a physical barrier but without any way to be used by archers? However it does appear like you get some long range artillery support, so I guess that works even if battlements don't.

This is vanilla- Once your city wealth gets too high (beyond what your army/research/etc can protect you from, hover over your army from the Capital view) you'll get an "offer" from a bandit party- refuse and they'll offer to fight you outside your city, refuse to meet them there and they'll meet you at your city, with the goal of sacking your throne for money and goods

@@deighv oh cool. Does that apply to non-bandit armies too or do they have to be fought in the field if they attack your city?

@deighv 2 ай бұрын

@@gtafbi1 If you're being attacked by a faction's army they will go directly to your city's map without an opportunity to fight them in the a field. If you have realms with walls and garrisons built those will provde opportunities for smaller battles before they can get to your city. To my knowledge realms with walls and garrisons built are going to become pretty critical in the upcoming version with roaming bands of bandits on the map!

They're Humidifiers and they spread the Dread stat. The bugs love them and they seem to be doing their job!
