Super Upgraded Artillery: Destroyer of Worlds

[JQueue]

So it turns out it was a LOT easier than I thought it would be to create these bad boys, you can do it by level 5 promotion level just as long as you focus on either Barrage or Accuracy and don't do a little of both. Check it out:

These things have a range of FOUR, can attack twice per turn, and pretty much one shots anything including other infantry. Also it can shoot over hills and mountains.

And I actually have two of these things, out of hand unit promotions like this is starting to turn war into a game of happiness management.

That is totally insane, scary, and cool at the same time!

To bad you couldn't carry that thing with you into a MP game.

Did you name the little devil?

Meh Im terrible with coming up with names. Something gross and inyourendo ish.

And you could make them in a multiplayer game.

They start to get really good around level 4 when they can get either +1 range or +1 attack per turn, and by "they" i mean catapult/trebuchet/cannon/artillery/mobile artillery.

I actually had double attacking Range 3 cannons, but then I upgraded them into double attacking Range 4 edit: artillery.

Cannons aren't nearly as good because they need to be on a hill to shoot over hills/forests and can't shoot over mountains though, but still an extremely effective murder machine.

Granted it will be a lot harder to keep a unit alive vs a player, you can at the least resort to really cheap tactics like setting up a bombardment position where you "Fortify Until Healed" next to a hostile ranged unit/city, and the healing completely offsets the attacks but gives you 4 xp per round.

Imagine that sucker once you upgrade to rocket artillery!

Imagine that sucker once you upgrade to rocket artillery!

upgraded artillery is nice and all. but I really like an armored division fully upgraded. Especially if you get to use it on open ground. Modern armor with +1 MP for 5 moves per turn. And then grab Blitz, so that sucker can attack 5 times in one turn if it wanted to. Or until it expends all of its MP. Makes for great City defense, especially if you have Roads, then the number of attacks they can perform is above 5 I believe, since you expend only a fraction of MP per attack.

The plan is to roll out, attack a few things but leave enough MP so you can retreat to the city to heal and for protection.

I got 4 of these in one game once. My 3 city empire was impenetrable =p

If you play as Bismarck and upgrade from a Panzer you get another +1 MP too :)
