On my character with 10 Power Draw and a 39p bow, I can one shot most enemies (two shots for enemy elites). Ultimately, I feel that the Bow is a better weapon IF you put the skill points into Power Draw. That said, with Power Draw, good bows close the gap with crossbows pretty quickly. They are require a separate skill (Power Draw) to be most effective. Bows fire faster but do significantly less damage. However, why are using a throwing weapon and not a bow? No excuse, that's what I thought. This limits their killing power significantly. However, they have limited range and accuracy. For missile weapons, I generally discount throwing weapons. The unlimited ammunition from sieges is too good to not take advantage of. Similarly, you want to bring the right weapons to a siege defense. After all, no one brings a screwdriver to pound in nails (ok, my ex did once, but she was an idiot with things like that). You have to bring the right tool to the job. They are far preferable to defend because the time to construct a siege tower gives you time to bring a relieving force. A few of my strategies revolve around siege tower settlements.

Siege Tower settlements suck and there's no way around that.Дefensively, siege tower settlements are fun and awesome. Then you get to run up into the chokepoint to get smacked by some beserkers, halberdiers, highlanders, whatever. Once the tower is completed, you have to push it towards the wall, eating arrows, crossbow bolts, javelins and throwing axes all the damn way. This gives the enemy time to arrive and screw up your siege.

Granted, I didn't max out Engineer, but even with 7 points it took days. These are the bane of your f***ing existence attacking. Once again, generally best if your enemies don't attack Ladder settlements. In addition, ladder settlements allow the enemy to rush straight up, meaning that overwhelming numbers may do just that and overwhelm you in the breach. For this reason, I suggest you apply Strategy #1 to these settlements to deter the enemy from attacking them. Enemies can attack them quickly, before you can arrive with your field/siege defense army. This works well with several types of offensive cheese.Д¬onversely, ladder settlements are a pain in the ass to defend. This lets you avoid the clusterf*** of defenders at the top of one by jumping up another. In addition, many ladder settlements in PoP have several ladders. Building ladders takes next to no time, meaning that your enemy can't come swooping down on you while you are preparing. Ladder settlements are the bomb to attack. There are also a couple of settlements that are both (High Pass Keep requires you to build a Siege Tower but has a ladder for easy access). It is very important that you know/remember which of your cities are which because it will definitely determine the city. The two types I am talking about are Siege Towers and Ladders. There are two basic types of settlements to siege, and I don't mean Towns versus Castles. Here are the basics that you need to know and understand before we start talking about strategies. This is a long guide, but scroll through to find the section you need most. I hope that this helps you in your quest for World Domination. In the next month or so, I will post some videos of this on my Youtube channel and link them in. To each his own, however you play Pendor, these strategies should enhance your sieging. You don't see Aragorn getting в™Ґв™Ґв™Ґв™Ґв™Ґ-slapped around Middle Earth by a bunch of peasant girls, do you? I find that medium on Pendor gives me a nice balance of challenge, but still the chance to be that clearly defined hero. I enjoy playing my games as a fantasy lord and in all the fantasy movies I watched, the central character is a one man wrecking ball.

I just don't see the point, to be honest. Note, I do not play Pendor on Hardest difficulty. Then again, why are you trying to hold castles and towns if you aren't level 20 yet? To make this work optimally, you probably need to be around level 20. Please note that these are a bit more advanced. It took me quite a while to figure these tricks out, but now that I have, I rarely, if ever, lose a siege defense. These are some tips, tricks and outright, unshamed cheese that I have picked up through hours of playing PoP. Nothing sucks more than taking a town and then getting steam rolled by an enemy faction that brings 1,000+ men to the fight. As anyone who has fought sieges in PoP before knows, it can be a nightmare.
