However, there is still a way out of this problem. The EWA 2.0 mod is currently being finalized – the last touches and improvements are being made. So, in this mod, there will be a significant number of non-networked mods that are suitable for single-player games! At the same time, it will also be possible to play over a local network if your opponent has exactly the same version of the game and the mod installed.
Unfortunately, even in version 2.71, combat units were not strengthened.
The only thing that can be done in this case is to increase the hit points of the catapult and add some defense to it. This way, it will become much more difficult to destroy.
And this has already been implemented in the UNIT /topic/11902/ mod
