Only 3 stacks per fight/siege??

[YeriYeriYeri]

Hi, what am i doing wrong? i get 7 stacks all hexed next to each other, but can only use 3 to siege a city or fight? what am i doing wrong?

Cheers

[MEATSHED]

yeah its maxes out on 3 stacks vs 3 stacks.

[Mordefroy]

By stacks you mearn armies of 6 ?

[Myth Alric]

Don't quote me on this, but I think having extra armies around the city does reduce how long the siege takes and I think that applies if you have more than 3 stacks. Not positive about it though. You definitely only can fight with 3 armies however.

Extra armies do not reduce siege time.

Technically it is just one army, led by a hero, which besieges a city. The others are "support armies" and you can surround the city with as many armies as the outer ring of the city area allows you to occupy. After that it is always the usual up to three armies for battle with the armies being chosen are per default those with the strongest strategic power value.

Siege time is not reduced by number of armies, but by number and type of siege projects.

Default is 10 city defense equalse one turn of siege, if you are not building any siege projects at all.

What if your units have siege beaker perk, surely main army would further reduce the time, but will the additional 2 support armies also with siege breaker perks further reduce it?

No. Again: technically it is just one army which besieges the city. The others are only accounted for the battle. Not for the siege itself. I remember faintly the Siegebreaker book a hero can use and the skill to equip, which allows the army to break defenses during the battle. I will check later again, but from what I remember it was only for breaking pallisades and such DURING a battle. Not for the siege itself.

18v18 tanks my frames its all i can handle lol.

Nah what you are describing is demolisher, Siegebraker adds +1 point of siege attack to each unit in sieging army. Book has the same effect but there is a tome that grants it as a modification as well. I was just curious if it works on all 3 armies. I actually have opportunity to check this game I have, so Ill let ya know.

[darkholyPL]

You are not doing anything wrong. This time around a max of 3 armies (or 18 units) of each side can take part in a single battle.
So it maxes out at 3 vs 3 armies (or 18 vs 18 units). You can never pull more than that into a single fight.

Thank for the clarity: 3 stacks v 3 stacks is the maximum. :). Cheers
