Stupid difficult

[T-Knocker]

Easy setteing is a joke on this catapult map. I was looking forward to try the new fraction and mission, but I can`t get past this stupid ridiculous mission with the rapid fireing heat seeking precision catapult, and yes, you have only 35 min to do it. I like the game, but this is ruining the hole game. This game will be uninstalled if its not a way to turn this catapult of or just skip the mission.

... hmm, I won this mission on first try at normal diff in like 20mins ... next mission the same - too easy ... maybe there should be 3 diffs: easy, normal, hard ... on easy catapults dont shoot on player e.g. ...

I have see many videos, but only one that was manage to do it and he took the flags in spesific order. But I don`t want to play a game that I have to follow a "special plant to make it. Game suppose to be fun, not irritating.

... I didnt see any of this videos, misisons are easy for me even with catapults ...

For me the catapults have ruined a brilliant game. I hardly play it now other than the earlier missions now and again. It is such a shame.

i won every campaign map in first try on normal

i will give you this though, catapults are game breaking unbalanced. Map wide range, ridiculous accuracy, inside castle point blank usage that destroys your army when you try to cap, and then the damage is too powerful

[T-Knocker]

Yes catapults ruins the game. I want to get past this so I can try the Egyptians. Looks so cool. I play for fun and I don`t want to spend hours and multiple tryes on just one map and get frustrated and irritated in the prosess.

I hope the dev can make an option to turn for catapults. I dont`t care about medals even if I have gold in all the other missions.

u don't play as the eqyptians you play as the romans
play battlemode and you can pick the faction

Yes thanks, but I can`t try out the 2 new missions before I beat this heatseeking sniper catapult mission. Whats the point of this mission anyway. Running from flag to falg and back again until blue is dead, then try getting through the gate while getting blasted by gards and catapults. When you finally got through the gate the army is waiting for you. Then back again to get more soldiers, most of them getting wasted running for the gate, when you eter the gate more soldier are waiting, then repeat until the time runs out or you just quit because it so irritating.

This, omg.
If you can get blue out fast enough and hold 5 of the Points i think you can win on score, but it has to be fast and purple constantly contests the front three points so I have to hug the cliff faces and pray I dont get sniped. So annoying ><.

But it still seems doable. Just extremely frustrating to do!

I didn`t se the easy setting, so I did it on easy, but I just hold all the falgs and won on that, but catapults is still OP.

If we're talking about the last mission before the egyptian one: yea it's hard capturing everything within 35 minutes, but you don't have to. just see that you have the most points when the time runs out. also, see it that way: if you have conquered a 2nd base you have two catapults on your side and it becomes easier.

[T-Knocker]

No it war the mission before that. But the mission you talk about, its also meaningless. Its just running around and cap flags. No fighting at all. Didn`t see the AI was fighting either. When they was cap they got blasted by the catapults, so I won easy on that one.

I agree that the Catapults need to be dumbed down a bit and range addressed. However the mission you are talking about is not hard you just need to be patient and read the game, I could make a vid on it if you like but ultimately, it is like 25mins of running around just capturing back flags and choosing when to fight and when not to fight, use defenders where applicable to slow the enemy down. Once you have captured all outside of the stronghold you need to constantly barrage the gate so they do not have time to storm outside and re capture as they will be defending. At the start any team that has more than 3 flags will trigger the stronghold team to leave and start capturing flags.

Also slow down and do not rush like the normal games your biggest waste of gold will be buying units because of catapult death, Some times I have seen it kill 10 of my troops in one go if that is the legion units then there goes a 200g upgrade. Always be watching for the catapults and try to avoid as much as possible!
