Level Design Issues - Town Balancing, Impassible Area, Wierd Looking Locations e.t.c

[Cid_Caceres]

Number one is the huga gap on the keep wall, I know is impassable and I know some huge boulders were added in the last patch, but it is still a gap that is weak to trebuchets and has no area to put archers with the defense bonuses of the towers.

Number two. The palisade that surrounds the city is glitched, the gates can be built but they dissapear of ther log out, also in the south east section of the palisades, there is a tower that has 2 ladders, one leading into the country side, acting like a permanently open gate.

Thanks for reporting this. The number 1 is a design decision - as every stronghold needs to have a weakness. And we`ll look to fix the two ladder tower and gatehouse issue in the next patch.

Hey konstantin!, I really hope you listen to your player base and reconsider that design decision or change the weakness to something else because there's no way in hell someone would build a stronghold with such a huge gap on their walls, it really looks out of place, like the walls are unfinished, it doesn't make any sense. really its like the people from the stronghold were holding a sign saying "rape me from this side" anyway keep up the good work we have high hopes for this game!

Thank you for the fast reply. I understand the balancing issue when it comes to give strongholds weaknesses and strenghts, but are you sure a huge gap in the wall is the way to go? the whole thing just looks unfinished, actually when I first saw it I thought it was a bug rather than a design choice, because from tactical point is not reasonable to leave a gap unless there is a something there that acts as a filler, perhaps moving the boulders up to the plateu of the hill?

From my experience with castles I would kindly suggest to use another weakness, one less disruptive, maybe making that part of the hill less steep.

thanks!
