[Doubloon-Seven]

Okay, we have proof of concept for both the automatic crossbow mechanisms and for autonomous 'bots. Cool. Let's combine those.

Hook up some more crossbows with another wheel, and also make one automaton for every two crossbows to aim and load the crossbows.
To prevent - or at least make less likely - the chance of another berserk automaton, they will be only lightly armored, and set up to "scream" an alarm if they attack someone or are attacked.

EDIT: considering that we started at 1000 enemy soldiers, and killed some, I do not believe that there should be 9723 enemy forces right now, Doubloon.

EDIT2: given 1000 enemies and 20 turns... we need to kill an average of 50 guys a turn to survive. We had10 actions this past turn, and killed 27 units. Either we need more people, or we need more effective attacks.
Also, another fix: this should have been turn 1, not turn 2. We're in turn 2 now.

Fixed, also, the turn thing was intended, & I'm a bit confused as to what you're going for there.

I liked it more with 9273 soldiers.

"Going for"? Regarding the crossbows or the calculations?
The crossbows is me trying to kill more people with something that's already been proven to work fairly well.
The calculations was just me thinking that we need to pick up the slack.

[ziizo]

Oh look a canon that should do more damage than this crossbow

[NRDL]

Set fire to the enemy's food supplies and equipment.

[OceanSoul]

I am the castle's resident alchemist, then.

I prepare poison-tipped arrows for the castle's archers, making them more lethal.

Can people still join this?

[Shadowclaw777]

Dual-wield musket rifles while on my horse, slaughter as many as the pikemen as possible. The cavalry can continue doing hit and run tactics

[WunderKatze]

Behold! The volley guns! Each sporting eleven dangerous barrels of muskety doom.

Order for them to be fired at the enemy while maintaining a grossly arrogant, high-chinned, fancy mustache comport; I am the forts high born principal engineer after all.

One does not 'Join' a minimalist RTD. If you post, you are in by default.

I mean what you want the turn numbering to be like.

Umm... 30, 35? That's if you're asking for my input. I do believe that our killing power will increase, so not quite 40, but we should still have some incentive to accomplish more than we did this turn.
