Thoughts On Altering War Wagons:

Post by dutchdude117 »

Current Stats of WW: https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Wa ... ?so=search

Because War Wagon uses a cannon for its attack, it could actually make sense to give its attack the properties of a cannon.
Possible Buffs:
-Convert War Wagon damage type to siege damage.
-Add Area of Effect to War Wagon attack.
Nerfs to compensate:
-Lower damage of War Wagon.
-Lower ratio of Damage that War Wagons do to Cannons.
-Lower fire rate of War Wagon.

Now that the idea of ranged AOE cavalry is being explored by the Devs (with Hakkapels), it makes sense to apply it to War Wagons.
Hopefully there can be a way to balance this unit and concept.

What do you want to achieve with these changes? Buff or nerf the unit? If not, then no need to make changes for the sake of it. Is the unit broken right now? Then do the least drastic changes to achieve the goal.

it's about time war wagons promote
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.

This. Also they should be renamed to Wagon of War after reaching highest promotion.
Whatever is written above: this is no financial advice.
