Remove ballista from DTV

[Boerenlater]

People are fighting over it to use a ballista, harassing each other shooting it and the most worse teamkilling people.
It's stopping them from being part of the team.
Remove them at once because the little kids can't handle a new thing.

No.

Remove Fun.

I agree, we shouldn't have things in this mod that players can enjoy using, particularly in casual settings like DTV.

i partially agree with boerenlater, often people dick around with ballistas, shooting each other, partially teamkilling to get one etc

on the other hand, often enough people use them properly

on hre thats no problem cause there is always an admin running around, but on eu7 i quite often have to call one

I already added more on the last (yesterdays to be exact^^) update i did. But don't expect any more than 2 or 3 on most maps, that fort-map with 6 ballistae is the exception because i wanted to see what so many ballistae do to the "balance".

I haven't seen too much of a problem with it on NA7.

One guy was TKing people with a ballista when there were no enemies around, I told admins and they watched him do it again and if I recall he got a 7d ban. 

There are some people who just try to jump in and steal the ballistas while you are reloading it, but at that point I just generally just let them use it, and go into melee. As long as they aren't shooting me in the back with it, I'm not too worried about it.

I think they are a fun addition to dtv. Something fun to toy around with when u get tired of what you normally do on dtv.

Maybe add catapults? Maybe just for 1 map?
Soooooo... I learned to shoot ballista in DTV, maybe also catapult?

I don't think catapults work in anything but strategus.

They used to be able to kill people on collision, I once killed 3 people standing in a row on EU 3 in duel once, but that was a while ago, so not sure if they've been changed more.

Doesn't matter anyway, way too ineffective and i can't put them in the maps, they can only be built.

Lobby for construction and more open maps?
