Siege Turtle

[gloflop.3510]

Let us forget the turtle for a moment. What kind of siege or mount would we like to have that does not cause an imbalance to the existing system?

Here is my biggest concern. Of course we can introduce a new mount which is effectively as good as a warclaw or even less good. Then we can also save our time and not introduce it.

We can also make it a shooting platform. A bit like a movable canon. The question then becomes if it causes an imbalance to fights or might be a blow to roaming.

We can make it another movable mount with a catapult on top in the style of a golem. The problem might then be if a catapult then shoots from the higher position and whether the defender now would get an even harder life defending.

 

All the obstacles which I described can be overcome. We just have to ask ourselves what kind of WvW we want to have and how the turtle would fit into it. Also, the question arises whether the time used for the siege turtle can be allocated to more important WvW projects.
