Sieging a wonder

Post by rsy »

Is there any reason to siege a wonder while it is building? Since it automatically regenerates hp it doesn't make sense to me why people try to kill my agra while it is building.

When your army is big enough and you don't get punished for it kill it. Note: You'll need a lot of army.
Sieging a Agra Fort/Colonial Wonder is pointless.
You'll get your res back, right?

With 30 musket you can easily destroy a wonder.

The settlers, if there are some building it, because those are defenetly a bit exposed when they are building it.

i always wondered about this, specifically when attacking a china FF. So wonders do not take damage like other buildings in construction?

Wonders do take the exact same amount of damage as other buildings while being constructed, x4 the damage.
But they regenerate at a crazy fast rate so normally its not worth it.
However, if u have like 20 pikes u can easily destroy it while being constructed. When u achieve it, the person can rebuild the same wonder again so u dont delete it permanently from the map (until its completely built obviously, destroying it then deletes it permanently from the game).

But this is something that you will rarely ever see simply because you dont have 20 pikes at 3 minutes and afterwards, when you are free to siege a wonder you have won the game anyways.

Haaaaa...so there is never a situation where a wonder is completed and then has like 200hp and dies just after hitting next age? They only finish with full hp? Not like a tc that just hit age then drops..?

If anyone played AoT, I've always thought of them like titan gates, but I suppose that is incorrect.

yep, always finishes on full HP (5000 i think? ) unlike any building which records the damage &' thus can be brought down much faster when seiged.....

Guys I just tested this... sieging a wonder when it is building slows it down.

So if u have 2 native warriors and an explorer trying to siege an Indian agra ur opponent will age up way slower. In my case the age up time went from a normal 5:10 to 5:35. Pretty significant difference if u ask me.

Interesting, this might require a little bit more testing.

Yes it was within 2-3 seconds.
I had an iro tomahawk, cherokee rifleman and 2 elephants sieging it on New England map the second time while the first time there was no disruption. Both times I had no vills building the wonder.
Was an Indian mirror both times

you can siege wonders while they're building but they siege at the normal rate and not x4. They also don't slow down building, atleast in the scenario editor.
