Posted May 28, 2015 Since the Dev team has been adding new siege machines, I'd like to offer this suggestion which probably has been asked already but.. Oh well.. To make the cannon you would first need to create the bulletholder which would cost a LOT of iron, then you would need to create the wheels. Since it is made mostly of iron, it would be heavy to drag and very slow. However it would offer great firepower and would one or two hits strong stone walls. It could also damage boats! Of course you would need very high skills in blacksmithing and carpentry to build one, otherwise it would be too OP. Please avoid spams and discussions that are off the topic in the reply section below.Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 I stopped at cannons. Nope. Gunpowder related items are definitely not for Wurm, are greatly unneeded.-1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 28, 2015 -9000 to any other projectiles than arrows But I'd really like to use a slingshot with pebbles -1 to cannons tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 I'd personally hope we stay away from that part of industrial development. Gunpowder leads to guns and guns lead to replacing the PvP experience with something new; which isn't a bad thing, just it would change the game forever. I like how Wurm hasn't evolved much in terms of industry in the past decade and I'm sure a very large portion of the player base would agree. -9000 to any other projectiles than arrows [21:50:46] You load the small catapult with a corpse of venerable troll. Don't take this away from me!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 28, 2015 How about everyone just ignores anything related to gunpowder in the forums so we don't get a whole bunch of hate comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 How about everyone just ignores anything related to gunpowder in the forums so we don't get a whole bunch of hate comments. I have a more logical solution. Instead of a multitude of threads covering the same tired subject just go to one of the many threads in suggestions covering the same exact subject and leave a reply. -1 yet again.

Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Did i -1 this? Well too lazy to look up and the idea is easily bad enough for doing it again... -1 Edited May 28, 2015 by Wulfgarr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Hrm -1 to any projectile other than arrows? What about slings? Or versions of ballista that fired shot? Poking fun aside, aye cannons are just too much of a Pandora's Jar, as they were major game-changers in RL. Edited May 28, 2015 by Klaa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 Well technically we have fireworks... but i agree we don't need them here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) +1 to cannons etc. Would be cool to have cannons on boat for pvp (ive always kind of thought as the years go on wurm time they should progress with the ages, to a certain point that is) Edited May 28, 2015 by New_Unsleep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
