Why not just give Jeremy the ballista from the start? On regular templates, he'll have the ballista taken from other heroes, and on Jebus Cross you'll have to spend on it, which isn't too critical. And there won't be a free ballista worth 5k for the player who gets Jeremy. With Artillery and the ballista, he'll be just as imbalanced. Taking Artillery away is some nonsense. Just make the player choose whether to build the Workshop and spend 5k on the ballista or not.
Though everyone doesn't give a damn about our opinion, and the HotA devs changed Jeremy a year ago anyway. Let's see whose opinion matches theirs.)

I'll say something even more heretical. There should be a Tournament Edition of HotA where the crew won't hesitate to cut casual perks like the ballista.
Otherwise, they'll keep struggling and never get it right.
