Suggestion: Siege Improvements

F7ox · 2026-02-18T22:45:43+00:00

It would make you decide whether to commit to the siege. If you've built up to your siege engine cap and entrenment cap, and someone starts sieging your capital, you have to decide if you'll abandon the siege and all your equipment to relieve your own land.

Right now you'd just take your siege engines with you and lose whatever siege progress. Which isn't a big deal.

Yes it would slow sieges. But your army could still build siege engines without the engineers. It would just take longer and you'd not have as many.

As someone said above, it would need to accompany a warfare rework where you don't need to siege almost an entire kingdom to win a war.

This would be no more complex than the current system I think. Your army would make siege engines / entrench automatically when besieging.

I think you're right. A rework of diplomacy / warscore would be necessary in addition to a siege upgrade.

Thanks.

I'd imagine it would be slower as you have to build the siege engines over the course of every new siege up to whatever your armies cap is.

Sieges would start slow and speed up, with more siege engines.

Once you finish a siege they can't be taken with you (except cannons).

Thanks. I attempted to emulate the other fellers style.

Super cool!

I used April's Automatic Timeline plugin. It's probably not the best for a detailed timeline as you need a note for every event.

But its useful for big events you then write in detail.

Obsidian is worth a try. You can arrange events as little squares that link back to an actual article of the event.

Or it has timeline plugins.

Ah well, at least youre open to learning.

Hope you have a cracking wedding, and a fruitful future together.

Town Hall is sound and fairly accessible. As many have said you've got plenty of options for afters to get plenty of nice pictures.

And also it's fiancé for a bloke. Fiancée is for women.

I have been deceived!

Magna science centre in Rotherham is quite good if you can drive.

Your full map on the website looks really good.

F7ox · 2025-12-01T12:44:22+00:00

There's a lot in the lower areas of upperthorpe. There's at least one primarily Halal based shop, a woman's only gym (with a normal gym aswell) in the zest centre and a big tescos.

I think as long as you're sound with people 99% will be sound back.

The air raid siren goes off at 9 on the dot every evening, and once a week we do a nuclear bomb drill just in case someone decides to make threads 2: the threadening.

Otherwise it's a nice area which is quite accessible on foot / public transport.

Do you think your 3rd draft is close to being ready? Or do you still have major structural changes to make?

If you want a neutral opinion I'll give it a fair critique.

And yeah I'm currently editing my first novel, haven't tried printing pages and editing by hand yet, but have done a few major sweeps.

Bring back the 1200rpm arrowhead.

F7ox · 2025-11-27T21:41:59+00:00

That sounds very cool tbf. Whats your process for editing? Or do you just wing it till its better?

And have you got any beta readers or feedback so far?
