Yes, they have to stop too shoot, you are correct, but against Onagers, or basically any siege weapon, they will outmaneuver them, and easily chop them down.
Speed vs siege is critical. I mean, if I went to you and sent my infantry to attack your siege units, I am positive that I would lose a lot more troops then if I would have sent my Ranged Cavalry Attackers.

one of the beautiful parts of this game is the "fire at ground feature" but then again with good micro one conquistador can defeat any amount of onagers. well either way i could garrison some keeps with arbalests or handcannoneers
edit ne more post left won't respond to anything for now. i'm saving it.

You know, you could just Garrison the Keeps or Towers or whatever you wanna call them, with Villagers? More arrows will come out still, but I don't think you do as much damage as if you would place Jannisaries or Archers in there.
And yes, I too like the "Fire at Ground" feature, although at times I just do not find any use for it. Well I do if I want to cut down trees too get somewhere, and that is only depending on how much wood resources I have. If I have a lot, then the feature isn't very useful.

-I think the number next to the tower attack doesn't go past like 4 when you garrison villagers. Whats fun hiding random units in them, then watchin the enemy freak when random units come out of them if they get crushed.
-Trees knocked down by Onagers are just stumps. No wood.
-Warcarts are amazing, along with turtle ships.

Foot archers are good at garrisoning. They give 1/2 arrow each. Vilagers do not provide that many arrows.
About onagers... If I recall correctly, two Coreans in an alliance have a 12 range onagers each - they can hit towers/castles without risk of being fired at.

Well Villagers are one of the easiest thing to build, so I just build as many of them as I can and maybe stack some of them in my Castle. I think I build more Castles than Towers.

hand cannoneers add an arrow for each and so do arbalest.

Weird....something must be wrong with that.
With all the games that I have played, the A.I usually rush towards you very fast, they build an immense amount of villagers to gather resources in order to get units, and they scatter their base everywhere...so that includes towers and barracks and all random buildings basically anywhere.
And yes Samiekl, I still play it, although I have yet too find the AoK Expansion CD yet, I seem to have misplaced it  So as soon as I find that, then perhaps I can get some games going and some of you could perhaps join.
Guitarguy, if I do find it, would you be interested in a game?

hehe I remember our last game, with me, you and Guitarguy...it was rather fun.
I have quicker internet now, so I guess it would be faster, therefore better.
But I would need to reinstall the game, since I got a new hard drive since the other one failed.
But yeah, a game with you again would be good
