Thread: What is the deal with..

    Default What is the deal with..

    The Abatis?

    How the hell can spies be killed by Abatis? This confuses me.

    Does anyone have a clearer answer as to why Scouts are dying by Abatis on a Scouting Mission? Let alone why units die by Abatis on attacks..

    traditionally scouts have to go threw sewers or scale large fortified walls and lets just say not every scout is as good as the next. if there were spikes in a sewer and a scout was walking through the water and fell in a whole with spikes he could get injured then discovered and killed. also if he chose to climb the fort walls he could slip and fall to his doom on a spike not to mention they usually put spikes all around the fort at the bottom to keep people from climbing the fort walls in a battle as well as keeping people from rushing the fort wall.

    So your guys are simply clumsy and don't let the pictures make you think these spikes are super huge. not all spikes have to be the same size. These are medevil times and these people aren't the brightest.

    Don't you just wish you could go back in time with the knowledge you have of the world today?

    *Edit* Actually that's a silly question, because we're playing Civony. *Edit*

    Anarchy, I have level 10 Informatics.

    I attempted to spy a level 3 Barbarian Village after the update, all 1K spies died.

    I spied a guy with 1K spies who had level 4 informatics, and all my spies died when he only had 300 Abatis..

    Your spies starved. This question has been asked and answered in several different styles countless times. Because your scouts couldn't bring down the walls, they continued fighting against the abatis, which they cannot hurt nor can hurt them, and had to continue attacking the wall (dropping it to 0) to win. They couldn't, so they died after 100 turns.
