Rohan's defence mechanism

<< < (2/2)

KingdomofErebor:
The one anti seige method I can think of for Rohan is rock throwers, this probably won't work for catapults, however they could be an anti ram mechanism. Instead of being a unit, rock throwers could be an upgrade for build plots by the Rohan gates,we've seen evidenc for this from the two towers films. So as a description the men of rohan hurl large boulders onto attackers below doing heavy damage to rams and enemies near the gate.

this is only an idea with inspiration from the films and the old dwarven oil casks upgrade

what do you think?

Sawman:
Adding stone throwers like 3.8 fortress would be a good addition to this I think, but this still wouldn't solve the catapult problem

KingdomofErebor:
Yeah as for catapults I'm stumped, Rohan don't possess the complex workings of Gondor or the dwarves, relying on open field tactics. The only suggestion I would make would be enable a fire upgrade for the onagers, or make a new unit that is strong against seige , perhaps some "west fold axemen" that are fast and lightly armoured. maybe give them a charge ability so that they can break lines to get at seige and run out again.

EDIT: Sorry to post again so quickly! I just did a bit of research on siege weapons of the ancient welsh/gauls and even romans, similar in style to Rohan. I noticed a lot of their siege weapons were drawn by horses, would it be possible to have a team of 4-6 horses pulling a sled with a small stone throwing mechanism. This would allow Rohan to move in quickly to attack then retreat to safety.
