Mythic Entertainment recently published a new guide on the Warhammer Herald: a guide to world domination.
In the guide, the author gives tips for sacking a city, and Mythic points out that this guide is not meant to be realm-specific; while it outlines attacking Altdorf, the strategies can be taken into consideration when laying siege to the Inevitable City as well.
The culmination of the ever-present conflict in Warhammer Online
is the capture and ransacking of the enemy’s capital city. Herein
we’ll detail the steps necessary for opening the gates of the city, and
ultimately taking it for your realm. Later on, we’ll have more
specific guides for each step along the way, but every razing and
pillaging group of warriors must start somewhere, so let’s begin with
the basics.
Opening up the gates of either city is a long
and arduous process that begins in the Tier 4 zones primarily. In
order to force your enemy’s city into the contested state, you and the
fellow warriors of your realm must first capture 2 fortresses in the
Tier 4 zones within 12 hours of each other.
In order to attack
these fortresses, you must first capture the zones prior to the
Fortress zones in Tier 4 by Zone Control (participating in Scenarios,
queuing for Scenarios, capturing Objectives and Keeps, Killing enemy
players and completing PQs). What this means is you’ll first push to a
zone between your Tier 4 home and the enemy’s (Praag for example), and
once you’ve taken control of that zone you would push forward to
Reikland or Chaos Wastes (depending on your allegiance) and capture the
objectives there.
