[bason]

they way the walls breakdown a good especially seeing men fall with them, it looks like DoF is truly the new and better generation of MMORTS games

Somebody as already posted this above i think but, ill try to explain in detail.

Another type of siege technique that can be used is the digging under the enemy walls either and plant explosives under them to collapse them or tunnel right under them to get into the city. Now of course this type of attack would only be available to infantry due to the tunneling.

For the defensive side there are many methods of counter attacking this sort of attack. Firstly the defender could have upgrades built in his city such as strategically placing a boundary of heavy rocks around the wall in the ground potentially slowing down the digging process of the enemy.

Secondly the defender could have other upgrade such as ditches(MOATS) around the castle walls, stopping the defender from bringing in siege ladders and towers and even stopping the tunneling attack. Making the attack have to use other siege equipment to attack the walls.

I'm not sure that is the MOATS are in the game but it would be a good idea.

Okay, wrong universe, but this is still going to be epic.

lol, I laught at this.

For real, ents destroying walls and allowing you entry in the enemy castle will be epic. Really really epic.

And siege ladders are funny. Lol, "do you have walls? OK, we get over it."

I can hardly put into words how much I'm looking forward to this. It's been far too long since I played an RTS with decent siege gameplay...

To be honest, its been far too long since there has actually been a decent rts full stop ! This is what I believe is what is going to set the standard for next gen RTS games.

I totally agree. The siege gameplay looks like an extremely intense and engaging experience that no MMORTS today offers.

I love the sunlight in this game, so realistic how it casts on the trees and then on the walls but the shadows over ride the light making the whole view as if it were real...thats the kind of detail I love. Also the lustful landscape colors is amazing, for sure the terrain environment detail is 10/10 for me!
