awesome war happening, where to get infor?

no precise calculation can be made i agree, but i hoped that someone can make rough estimation.It is especially interesting to consider how comm and prestige bonuses would work for attacking archers while on other side comm and prestige bonus for spear deff against bow units would have minimal effect against attacking bows.It looks on first look that spear units in deff outnumbered bow units in around 2 to 1 ratio.Maybe if Anjire has spare time, or opk they can make some calculation.Changing production time for units gives more diversity to battles.

I agree that update change many this, cavalry can no longer be considered as only unit that is to be used to attack sieges.With increase number of spears that will be produced and used for def in future bow armies should now also be considered as good off unit.On long run cavalry reserv gets reduced and with its long training time alternativs should be found especially in prolong conflicts and what better choice than t1/t2 bows bows.

Sentinels are fast enough, almost fast as cav especially with good comm.Siege breaking units are usually sent before siege lands.It is not that hard to predict where siege lands as long as there is enough troops to be sent to cover all posible location on which siege is expected to land.It all depends on how activ is player that gets sieged and if he shares info on incoming armies to his town.If he is activ usually there is plenty of time to send needed troops to destroy siege shortly after it lands.

A lot of educated guesses can be made regarding bonuses.  There were a surprising number of trueshot commanders in the overall army.  Also, the terrain the battle was fought on would go a long way toward being able to eliminate much of the guess work.  It would also have a profound affect on how much more affecting bows attacking might be vs. cavalry.  If the siege was stationed on a large forest square vs say a mountain would have a drastic affect on the efficiency of such an attack.  

Terrain was Large Hill
