Hoo boy I have a lot of stories of sieges on my old server, Steel Armies

Few notable ones: The Hour and a Half long seige on crossroads of the fallen kings. Started off normally, arrow trading between both sides except mordor had the high ground so it didn't go well for us, eventually started pushing the gate and won it, but then chased one dude around for an hour until he used his punch 2 bow to knock us all into a ravine and we had to call it there... I'm still mad about that one.

The siege chain on Minas Morgul. Before we had a siege cooldown we had a literal back and forth over minas morgul between gondor and mordor upwards of 10 sieges a day until we all got tired of it. This was... 5 years ago now? Good Times...

First Ever siege on helms deep (oh there was many more). So Dunland and Mordor are attacking Helms. Rohan and Gondor both forget to bring an army, so the Wood-Elves are the only ones there with an army. Gandalf is there too. Safe to say Dunland won that one pretty easily, another ancient siege from 5 years ago I think.

The Mazefights. Before they were banned this one person had a stupid clever idea to make a maze with black glass ontop and spam the mace of sauron. Safe to say it quickly got banned.

I can try to think of more but these are some of the most notable ones I can remember.

Some of the stupiest tactics used in Steel Armies Sieges

Running Around until the attackers gave up

Massive Towers with Wizards in them

Staff and Mace Spam

Trapforts

Lagforts (Places so big that fps dropped so much)

Mazes like I said earlier

Ah good times... sad to see it go

Adding to this about the code, I have worked with 1.7.10 modding and 1.12.2 modding and yeah it is completely different. It seems counterproductive and frankly stupid to rewrite hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Focusing on new updates and such would be a much better use of the limited time of the mod team rather than mevans subjecting himself to rewriting code for every item, block and such.

I don't really use mine for much anymore, me and my friends will get on occasionally to roleplay but if you don't mind that, or the fact that it use to be public you can use it. Contact me on discord @ Dunethunder76mx#9139 if your still interested.

Lowkey I want this to really happen, but looking at the date...

I mean, alternatives to Cauldron altogether. Sponge is just a fork of Cauldron, and I really think that everyone should just scrap cauldron altogether and either use Forge or something else, maybe in a different language...

The probelm with plain forge is that it doesn't support plugins, and a lot of servers depend on those things. I also wish that there was something else I could use, but sadly, there isn't.

Oops, the report from the thread that linked to this one was an ArrayOutOfBounds. I wish people would find alternatives to Cauldron...

Wouldn't be a probelm if there was a good one that worked with 1.7.10.

Sponge is 1.10.2+

Alright, thanks for the help.

Edit: If it helps I can give more crash reports, i have about 40 from all the crashes.

It seems the most crashed area's are loading chunks in places with a dense amount of structures. The Shire seems to be the worst for some reason.

Then I guess it could be nearly any structure. The best lead I have is the Rivers, Oceans, Beaches and Oasisis.

Well it seems to be a ton of different chunks. Misty Mountians seems to be the most common crash currently. I believe it has something to do with the way rivers, oceans, beaches, oasisis and dwarven mines (not sure if ruined ones are effected) are generated.

None of the players were near dwarven mines though.... 

Really Weird

Edit: All the crash reports have the same things in thing, Dwarven Mine and stuff about beaches, rivers oasis's and oceans. Thing is, no one is near any of those.

This one isn't rare, its common, My server has crashed atleast 10 times in the last hour.

Edit: Make that 12

Thanks @MilkMC for pointing that mod out, It will be very helpful.

Steel Armies: Total War with an average of 7-16 on daily, if you like massive wars and politics daily.
