Forum:Castle and Town pages

Forums: Index > Wiki Talk > Castle and Town pages

Right now I'm on the offensive but have few lords so the type of siege awaiting me is valuable information to consider.

I wanted to add categories to list what uses ladders and what uses siege towers but looking at the castle/town pages and categories I don't see a consistent structure...

I guess my question is: how to clean them up?
As a first thought, maybe group map entities together?

I also don't see any difference at first glance between castles and fortresses in With Fire & Sword. I could even stretch it and say towns are fortifications with more resources. So... what's the difference between them in WFAS?

Required siege equipment could perhaps be listed on the Sieges or Engineer pages. I'm not sure what you mean by "group map entities together". Regarding Fortresses... I seriously have no clue, if you ever figure out the difference, you let me know.

Since it's lists we're talking about, I would prefer to use categories.

Static map entities are towns, castles, villages, training fields, mercenary camps (WFAS). Dynamic map entities are the player, lords, bandits, villagers, patrols/rebels/scouts/other (WFAS).

Hmm, maybe group fortifications together then... something like this?

Gameplay
- Fortifications
  - Castles
  - Towns
  - Fortifications By Siege Type
    - Ladder Fortifications
    - Siege Tower Fortifications

Actually I didn't like the idea of making new categories just for the siege type, but that doesn't look too bad. Though I don't think a Fortifications By Siege Type category is necessary just to hold two other categories. I'd do it more like this:

Gameplay
- Fortifications
  - Castles
  - Towns
  - Ladder Fortifications
  - Siege Tower Fortifications

It looks a bit out of place because we're not differentiating more aspects of fortifications.

Castles/Towns/Fortresses are basically Fortification By Type. We can also group them by game and by number of villages. Hmm, the existence of a port can also be a factor? (never used one)

Anyway, I'll use your category structure.
