He might have meant cannons....

[Rolepgeek]

Because they were often stone cannonballs during that time?

Correct. The earliest cannons fired stone cannonballs, not iron or steel balls. And it had to be chisseled perfectly, or it would get stuck and the entire cannon would explode. The earlist cannons were kinda rubbish actually. Firing at most once an hour, tendency to explode, ridiculously bad accuracy.

Edit: GWG, is there such a possibility as a fortress city/ Fortifified city. Kinda like Carcasonne?
Edit2: How are you going to handle sieges. Will every siege end up in a charge, and how does the protecting effect of the fortress work.

Battle axes wont do much when you have an arrow in the arm/leg/body.
And, GWG, i intended to use recurve bows, is that ok?

It doesn't matter much. The combat number will be quite simplified.

Uhm if you hit my men on a limb you'll be lucky to make them flinch. But it's probably just gonna be numbers and weapon that determines everything.

And fortifications.

[mesor]

Yup, which is why I'm not attacking forts.

[Child of Armok]

Just do some mongol tactics to kill those demons, it wont be as effective as full infantry armys, 'cause they will ahve bows as well, but still,their demon skill have not much positive influence with archery.

[10ebbor10]

The mongol's tactics where so effective only because they had the advantage of Mounted Archers, as well as a significant range advantage. Since range is merely a measure of how much force you can use, and the demonthingies are quite a bit stronger, they probably have the range advantage. (Though maybe not, depending on material choice and technology)

[mesor]

I'll have cavalry, shields and bows with very long range as well as my warriors all being superior combatants, which includes archery. Plus the game won't be that in depth. Most of the mongols enemies also didn't use shields or used very weak ones.

[Child of Armok]

Heavy cavalry whould lose against a squadron of melee mongol cavalary. Because of their light equipment and light horses they can dance around them and strike where they want, and cause the cavalry archers are moving, they will be pretty hard to hit, but indeed, the game will probably not be that in depth.

[mesor]

I know, thats how Ghengis's general countered Russain knights.

[10ebbor10]

I just know that any kind of cavalerie tends to fail in a swamp, or when asked to walk up walls.

[javierpwn]

That's why earth mages move your stone walls apart with their gem adorned selves

And cause a rocky road to be created in mere minutes to hours in the swamp

Who needs catapults when we've got mages throwing boulders instead
