I Forgot About the SW guide

I decided some time back (maybe a few days? maybe longer, idk I have a short memory) about writing an sw guide. But I completely forgot about it.

The question is, do people still want me to finish it? I saved what I had as a ms word document since I've had bad experiences losing lengthy forum posts due to "you're already logged out due to inactivity" when clicking the "SUBMIT" buttons.

I guess any guide/tips on SW are welcome. (Also for basic things - if you do SW often some things may become "obvious" while other people might completely not know about them...)

But just checking: you did see:I'd always say - just upload whatever you have even if it's a work-in-progress. Some people will find it useful and you can always "edit" the post it if you find time to clean-up/update.

Probably will have to reread the old siege guide, but i am willing to bet its out dated interms of strats.

Scrolls have changed how they work.
People dont really use siege weapons anymore.
There is a much bigger emphasis on holding towers, getting defenses out and on upgrading forge buffs.

We should cover specific counters for each class.

We should cover the concept of siege gear and the fact that its not as expensive as people think.

Would be interesting to see the work in progress. Then everyone can assist in adding to it from the forum so there is a complete guide that is updated.

Thanks.

Yes I did see those links. But while providing basic information, they don't actually teach a new player what to do in siege. They simply present information on things within siege that one could gather by talking to buildings and/or using buffs -- they do not discuss how useful or useless certain things are, how the individual items work (such as eyes of true knowledge or electric towers vs rogues) or any strategies.

My guide currently references similar guides so that I do not have to post redundant information, but I would also take time to update the incorrect/outdated information, as well as discuss specifics on things. I also discuss things that are important to siege, that do not occur/are not found withint siege war.

In regards to strats, I don't know if I have time or the desire to try and come up with any kind of comprehensive list. I've already address what I know of as outdated information. I suppose I can talk about guard farming as a "strat" as well as being either gung-ho offense, or turtling strategies, but there's so much variation based on guild/player preferences and guild match ups that it would be tough to try and make anything concrete/all encompassing.

However, seeing as how I've had quite a few responses I'll continue my guide after doing sw tonight for a refresher on some things. The reason it has not yet been posted is because I'm not satisfied at calling it any kind of guide at the moment, there's a lot more topics I think I need to cover, and I can't change the thread name once its started so "siege war guide" would be misleading atm xD
