Am I the only one who loathes siege battles?

[amagicmonkfish]

They are fine in every other total war game but this one my god they made them so bad every time I have to play one I just wanna uninstall the game.... I hate feeling like that.

[JustSmile]

No. Total Warhammer 3 siege battles are the worst in all of Total War franchise. They're not fun to attack, not fun to defend. I'll sooner autoresolve and lose, then retake a settlement, than play one out.

I only find them tolerable if I can ignore the mechanics entirely, for example by sailing a fleet of thunderbarges atop the enemies.

[Aleera]

I find them vastly superior to what we had in Warhammer 1 and 2, now those were boring.

One thing is for sure, sieges can't be blamed on the suits. They were a creative failure.

[James Heller]

I agree. Especially when I have to play them manually because auto resolve thinks 18 Thunderbarges can't beat a skeleton garrison

[Wubbinz]

I also think they are total booty and avoid them whenever I can.

[Zeek]

Settlement sieges with no walls? Hate them with a passion both attacking and defending.

Wall type sieges? I don't them once in a while, but in general I don't find them very fun so I auto resolve if I can like I did in the other games.

Field battles forevah!

I enjoy defending as the empire getting specific layouts where I can make really awesome gun defence lines, there's one where it's just a long alleyway to reach the victory point and you can pull some insane heroic victories.

I think it's really stupid how you should never defend the walls, but ok, fine once you know you know.

[BiteSizeCenter]

No, you are very much in the majority with that opinion.

[Revan619]

Yeah it is kinda silly they think im going to lose when being behind walls makes them more vulnerable to my artillery spam

[amagicmonkfish]

Thank you guys I thought I was going crazy

[MajinSoul]

I can't remember the last time I manually fought one. They are dreadful to the point where I'd rather take the AR losses than slog through a siege battle

[BiteSizeCenter]

I enjoy them solely for the fact that they're extremely cheeseable. Most times I can walk away from a siege battle with fewer losses than I'd take against the same army in a field battle. The AR penalty is way too severe when you're the attacker in a siege.

Redownloading Warhammer 2 rn since they are much better in that. They're not perfect mind you but at least I can play them without losing the will to live
