    Will there be a demolisher class or is it just a builder? Also will there be a emote for ram team?

    I suspect it'll be the builder rather than a dedicated class.

    Is the bison ontop of the canopy supposed to take all the incoming oil, so that it'll burn not the canopy?

    Yeah no demolisher class. I think all units will be able to operate siege equipment, just as they can with catapults etc.

    Re: Images - All of these things would be excellent. Bison team especially. We'll have to make sure it's possible (though you'll likely need some knights on hand to hold the bison on the canopy...)

    @vig we've been tossing up whether to make the ram a two-person effort. I think it'd be better that way, but it might end up getting very little use in public play that way :P Some issue with teamwork, iunno.

    Simply make two-person ram faster to move and more powerful.

    Ditto.

    Only issue is control - do both players have to be in synch or will one player (the front I guess) have full control whilst the other just tags along?

    The person on the front could apply 75% of the force from the ram, the last 25% being an additive or subtractive of said force from the person behind (100% ramming force when in-sync, 50%-75% otherwise)

    Well sure, but still, how does movement work? It'd take a lot of coordination.

    You probably just wanna give full control to the front guy (the guy whom was holding it first).
    Otherwise it'll be a pain in the ass.

    As for synch of force, I don't see the point. The guy behind will just hold forward - that's all he has to do.
    Just give a flat force + speed bonus for having two guys.

    But what happens when one is standing on ground, the other in the air off a cliff?

    Uh. Good point.
    The one on the ground has to drag the other guy up? :P

    :P maybe, we'd need to join them with constraints etc though, and it doesn't sound like much fun for the guy on the back...

    Perhaps make a smaller ram for personal use and a bigger one that can be tied to the canopy and swung, then.

    I figure its like when a knight parks up in front of an archer to protect him.
    Its not a lot of fun - you're just sat there after all - but you do it for the benefit of the team.

    An additional constructable ram that can be swung would be great.

    A knight in front of an archer is more fun than waiting around for the driver to get you there though because you can jump around, move back and forward, and throw bombs etc.
