Historians: Siege Weapons in medieval times took hours of planning, building, and were quite in accurate in hitting a target you specifically aim for Spiff: Well yes, but actually no.
Yeah, I tried this and the game broke in several ways. The Siege Onager’s ability to one-shot buildings fluctuated as I kept piling on upgrades, sometimes flattening castles and other times barely scratching them. I eventually stopped when I could devastate the enemy from halfway across the map. Also, my villagers were chopping the trees so effectively that the trees actually gained health and they had to frantically chop at trees with over 30000 health.
If you use the "give Castles more hitpoints" upgrade too many times every castle blows up from an overflow error and you're no longer able to build castles.

Absolutely love it Spiff, noticed the overpowered towers from the fletching multiplier, could we get a video where you ONLY use defenses to win in conquerer mode? Would love to see those towers and other defenses level the other side of the map. As Sun Tzu might say nowadays: "A good offensive is a Spiffing Good Defense!"

Ah, Ethiopia fun. I had good times with them when their expansion was first released. Cheap infantry and super fast recruitment? Don't mind if I do! And yeah, a multiplayer game with this mod would be absolutely silly. I'd love it.
there was C&C generals mod where a modern army (Russia, China, US, and GLA) can be use against fantasy medieval army from world of warcraft (Orcs horde and Human Alliance) and also Morden army from metal slug series is also available. the mod name is ''Joint The End of Days'', it is worth to play especially against horde assault with just one BMPT-2. hopefully u will play it spiff
Reminds me of the Big Bertha turret in Total Annihilation. Fired really long-range and did lots of splash damage. You could build a few of them and wipe out an enemy's base from across the map. Just needed to make sure they were protected by AA.
Have you ever tried breaking Red Alert 3? The Soviets are insanely balanced, but I'm sure you'd want to go with the Allies since they have the tea. Although the Japanese Imperials are also an option in that one, and they have quite a lot of tea with the bonus of also being an empire. Food for thought.
