What are the planned ranges of siege devices?

In reality, ancient and medieval era siege engines could hurl projectiles anywhere between 150 to 300 meters or more.

Assuming one tile in the game world is 1 meter square, and if siege devices were made to have ranges fitting with real world standards . . . it seems that there will only really be room for one or two, perhaps five towns on the whole map?

4 to 5 towns is not too bad for 64 player map.

True!

It wasn't meant as a criticism. Given the visionary nature of this game, and the already very high quality and playability, I think that the projected scale for the MMO map and the current scale for the YO map are above being 'adequate,' though I'm not convinced by the claim of "massive." I will not be surprised if, after the MMO has been running for 6 months, the landscape is so crowded that . . . (and hopefully the devs are so filthy rich, that . . .) either many additional servers or (even better) a massive X100 expansion of the game world is embarked upon.

Mainly, I'm curious about what the siege ranges are likely to be for the sake of my nascent town on my own server, about which I ramble at length here:

You guys are talking like there will be seige equipment in YO. What you falied to do was read what will be included in YO. Sieges are not going to be in Yo so the size of the map will be fine being it will be 4 times bigger in the MMO where the siege equipment will actually be implemented.

Four times?

The map is going to be significantly larger than that.

Whaaa?? No siege engines in YO? That is blasphemy!

Do you have a link to a statement by a dev or other authority saying as much?
