Flying and Seiges

Max: Attack Archers was actually the order used in this case. Well, Hold and Attack Archers. But, while there were archers still alive on the field, they were not attacked.

K: Not sure what kind of castle. Whatever (LA) Utgard's capital is.

Fortified City if memory serves...

All the details aside, the feeling I'm getting is that no one else is having trouble using flyers in sieges, is that correct?

If so, can you tell me generally the size of your force compared to the defenders? How many flying squads do you use? How many units in each squad? Where do you place your flying squads? What orders do you use?

Groups target groups. So if you have a huge group of fliers, they may all go after the same enemy group. If you have many groups of fliers, I expect they will probably go after a variety of different enemy groups...

DC: No storm was not cast - you can see the flyers fly up to the clogged gate, but not past it.

I watched it again - there was a Storm. You can see the enchantment symbol in the top right corner.

DC are you 100% sure? There were a lot of enchantments thrown around in that battle - Doom, Fog Warriors, etc. I dont recall anyone in the battle other than Pazzuzu having strong air magic. And I definitely didnt cast it

Ehhh, Fog Warriors is A5, and Storm is only A4.....

100% Positive. I re-watched the battle and the Storm enchantment symbol is on.

Does Pazzuzu automatically cast it - his description says something about being the bringer of storms...

Pazzuzu was mine Jim. I would not cast Storm as it would be shooting myself in the foot.

DC: Ok, I'll rewatch the battle. That would certainly answer a lot of questions but for the life of me I dont recall anyone casting it. Perhaps it really is automatic from Pazzuzu? He definitely wont be joining any more seige battles if thats the case!
