Shooting from Windows

Postby Lore » Sun Feb 27, 2011 6:48 pm

I noticed the 'Windows' thread in accepted suggestions, and it made me think; If we could shoot from windows, attacking a town or fortress would be a truly terrifying prospect.

For instance, if the townsfolk could just retreat inside and pelt attackers with arrows, attacking a town would be much more dangerous for the attackers. This might unbalance it in favor of the defenders, but this topic: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20315, particularly the battering ram, might address that slightly.

If the defenders have enough time to barricade themselves in a building, they already have a vast advantage. Stepping out of a building, attacking and stepping back in is essentially the same as shooting from a window.

And if they are surprised by the attacker it wouldn't matter anyway.
Pretty in pink.
