The rocket launcher is a siege unit in the upcoming Stronghold Warlords game.
Description[]
The rocket artillery is a rudimentary demolition device that carries a bundle of explosives as its load.
The impact cause damaging structures, knocking back enemies and set the ground on fire.
The rocket launcher destroys itselves and the operator after use, making it a one-time-use weapon.
The rocket launcher is created at the siege camp.
Traits[]
The rocket launcher costs ??? gold and an engineer to prepare.
The artillery is a fragile and bulky unit that can only turn slowly in place, and moves just so. However, when in place, it can fire its ammunition in a very high range, hitting its target for very high damage. The rocket can take away large chunks of health from towers and gates, and severely damages light units. The rocket also creates fire at the place of explosion that burns for several seconds.
Implying its nature, the rocket launcher is the ideal weapon to create breaches and remove densely populated towers. The rocket is surprisingly accurate and it can blow massive holes in thick walls from afar, clearing the way for the first lines to charge in.
Being a large siege unit, the launcher is very frail and cannot defend itself against projectiles and melee attacks. Its premature detonation can cause fire around it, therefore care should be put into its protection. Escorts can help ensure that the device reaches its designated place.
Tactics[]
- Use the rocket launcher to start fires in a densely built town, as it spreads fire around its target!
- Rockets explode on the first object they contact. This can be used to target the top of tall structures, even by targeting the ground behind them in their arc.
