Add Ballista for Castle Defenders

[Jarlek]

Hey focus you two, don't dilute

Rolling logs?

[BattalGazi]

Yea that sort of stuff has to wait its turn

[Jarlek]

Hey. What about Mangonels? Basically a catapult that shoot 10 stones at power throw 5 damage and don't damage buildings? That would be cool

No ballistas, firing arrows is what you need.

cost arround 30 k or so
5 plate cutter arrows
13 pierce

personally I've always wanted to see an engineer class. you can "construct" stuff for the battlefield like siege towers and healing tents, so we are halfway there. but obviously playing a engineer would be alot more fun if one could contruct a bastilla on the battlefield, think tf2 but medievil style. Balista balance wise should not be like playing a crossbowman, baslita would ideally be an anti-construction, anti-camp weapon but deadly vs a crowd to be sure ;)

but I never suggested this for reasons paul mentioned or didn't. plus I have new suggestion everytime I log in and try not to post them all.

This game need more realism. Defenders not have strategy.

+1 for ballista.

Ballista with limited range might lead to them being useless by having people putting a cata out of range.

We cannot foresee how this will effect the strategy of the attackers and defenders. As the game is still beta, there will be multiple chances to observe and fix the details. Important part is to initiate something new with relatively valid foundations.

True. But then it would be more difficult to hit with the catapult, thus making them use more time giving the defenders a higher chance to win by the time limit. I understand your concern of course, but I say it would be better to introduce it and THEN balance it. If it is impossible then we can remove it like the Fire Bomb.

So what say you devs?

Make a decent model and maybe you get chadz enticed to do the coding.
