Sultani Tower OP. Please nerf.
It has 73.8 dps against buildings. Rams are 39. It has around double the health of a ram, and costs five times as much while having 20 fewer points of ranged armour. The composite bows are the whole show. But of course they're not even composite bows as they have no bonus vs light melee.
It's kind of insane they made it cost a thousand resources, and yet it's worse at its core job than four hundred resources worth of rams, and it costs a large chunk of gold.
The bows would be nice if it was as resilient as its cost suggests, but as it is, it costs an astronomical sum, is almost as easy to kill with springalds as a single ram (given they effectively deal 20 more damage per shot to it, and it doesn't even have double the health of a ram). You only ever use it when you're ahead and it feels good to build.
It does feel good to build. It's like camel archers in that way, you want to make it, but it's very rarely a good idea because of the cost. A camel archer doesn't actually deal more damage (that is, it actually deals less) to a man at arms than an equivalent cost of composite archers, scales worse in terms of damage as the game goes on, and has less total health. It's good for precisely two things: Mobility, and supply efficiency (but still worse than hand cannons if you can afford the gold, of course).
Tower of Sultan should in theory be more supply efficient than rams because of the bows (which scale to 12 damage with incendiary), but I can't imagine that ever matters given they have an imperial upgrade that makes them better, and can be spammed out for far greater impact. And again, for their core value, one TotS is not better than three rams. It's barely better than one ram in imperial.
We love Daleks
wish the devs added something else besides the tower, its unnecessary, perhaps switch it for a new military unit? or even change the useless trade gamba wing for something else?
