The inclusion of siege weapons is likely because of the inclusion of tech vehicles. The classic example is ship to ship combat typically would involve siege weapons
Idea for a rules clarification video that I got from a recent reddit argument about Reinforced Stocks from this book: Attached Weapons. Many people on the reddit were confused on whether a Reinforced Stock counts as wielding a melee weapon for stuff like the Drifter Gunslinger's "Reloading Strike". Some people before the clarification assumed it was absorbed into the ranged weapon, didn't count as being wielded and used Throwing rules about when it was a melee weapon. But no, the Paizo official ruling that came in is you can use them for Reloading Strike, so it becomes clear that attached weapons count as a melee weapon even when attached to things that aren't melee weapon. This is reinforced by official rules that list the attached weapon as a separate weapon with a trait that means you have to wield another item to wield it.
you could have handled a army in 1e as a swarm. they had a mob of angry lvl1 commoners as a swarm type enemy and rules for making other creatures into swarms. probably they have mass combat run along those lines right now as an early pass.

me and my dm are playing a campaign where he lets me play as a sniper and it is super fun and rewarding both to play and to intrepert. and I think that people who complain about firearms is an unsubstantiated complaint, that is, you have magicians who can launch lightning from their fingertips, or fly, or launch magic missiles, how much damage can a musket. Anyway, good video and I'm glad that paizo doesn't forget the people who enjoy technology
the complaint i hear is about how only rangers and gunslingers can overcome the reload action to make it more valuable, the guns have a good trait options, like the damage they get from the fatal trait. they are good, but not all classes are build in to use them perfectly but they still seems ok if you ask me.
@@nicolasvillasecaali7662 I do not see that it is a bad thing, unlike what people believe, using a bow, whether short or long, takes much more time to make a good archer, the idea of weapons such as the crossbow or firearms is to have effective soldiers in the shortest possible time. So a beginner would take more time to load a musket, that is, they do not know where a bullet or powder goes in the musket, but if you are someone who has already been trained by someone like an instructor or the army, it is understandable that you know how The musket works and you can reload faster than other people.
My take is that it would completely revolutionise how mass combat, and warfare in general, would change as it did in real life. I like the Alkenstar take of hoarding and artificially inflating the scarcity and value of firearms, to kind of keep the tech rare, then using the Shieldmarshals to go out and 'take care of' anyone trying to spread the secret of firearms
"What's the point of using a sword, if you can use a (machine)gun?" Is kind-of a silly question. When it really is just a reflavoring of: "What's the point of using a sword, if you can cast fireball?" RP and thematics aside, once we assume all weapons or abilities are balanced - there's no functional power difference between tech or magic. And the rest comes down to worldbuilding. Trying to circumvent the low magic restrictions of a worldsetting by using advanced technology is no different from being that one Gandalf in an otherwise low magic setting. 🤷

As soon as I got the pdf, I was blown away by the density and quality of content in this manual. Spectacular.
I love how the 1e adventure paths are having wide ranging effects on the 2e setting, 'Stacian technology = Anastasia
Hey FYI The Plaguestone podcast ended a while back.
Roll For Combat is doing...
-The Agents of Edgewatch
and
-Extinction Curse
True! But they've asked me to continue to promote Plaguestone as well since those episodes are still available for download.
@@HowItsPlayed Gotcha, all right that makes sense. Fantastic video by the way, thank you.
Ah... the bear with a mirror super laser. That was a fun scenario.

LASER MONK!!!
Who would had thought that future+monks would make the superior martial arts of the Lazer-fu?
