Buildable ballista for strat

yay ! but i guess it could be really abuseable , like putting in some specific spot where noone can destroy it and u can use it for endless time.

Nothing is unreachable in strat, there is ladders.

+ you can shoot someone using a ballista very easily since he can't dodge

I loved the balista since there was merely a demostration of it, that must be around a year back or so.
Fun to see it on siege maps, can't wait to use a few in strat.

Why only for strat?

More siege equipment is always welcome in my book. Let the age of the engineers come!

So having balista in lets say 1500vs1500 battles on open fields , You make like 3-4 of them , using shileds to defend it from arrows also defend the player that is reloading and shooting , so how can that not be abuseable ? and doing it all over again

And as far as i remember todays battles are like forming tight shield wall of 40-50 ppl i guess one balista on side would side rape half of the enemy team

I think you overestimate ballistas.

Besides, it wouldn't be so bad to see some more engineering in strat. The only kind of engineering going on is for siege battles or when someone is drunk in field battles (or if a bunch of people want to make a siege tower... or 3). So I wouldn't mind this in the least. Makes defense a little more interesting.

Nah man, you got them forward spawns, them healing tents inside siege towers, and hopefully you remember the VE v LCO field battles in which Gashinos made a catapult and absolutely terrorized the VE infantry. Fucking brutal shit.

This is true. My engineering ignorance is showing.

I also remember when they catapulted their own line. Was funny.

Ozin decides that. Ballista is his work.

[Switchtense]

a ballista on the flank can indeed fuck up a whole shield wall
one projectile can kill multiple players

that again would make battles much more interesting, now there are 30 people standing behind a shieldwall nudging and kicking each other cause they are bored while waiting for the enemy or some construction to finish

a ballista would cause fear of being impaled and pure chaos if there are like 3 ballistas on the enemy side
forming a shieldwall on top of a hill as tall as mt everest would be a disadvantage, instead using the hill as cover from the ballistas would make field battles more interesting

[Jarlek]

Besides, giving the enemy time to build, operate and fire for a long period of time, a ballista sounds like a field battle you would lose anyway. The moment a team gets a ballista, it should be top priority for the enemy to deal/counter it.

[Tojo]

just imagine having 2 ballistas in the last doorway of the Dhirim castle.

also could help alot of low level players get into sieges/battles in strat seeing as the high levels should be in melee.
