Posts from Ballista and towers.

How is the damage dealt by a ballista and a tower calculated? I remember that when defending my Castle, my towers dealt 0.5-1.5K damage with an expert ballistics skill. How is the damage calculated exactly?

The amount of damage depends only on the number of "structures" (buildings) currently in the city. The level of defense of the attacking unit and its position on the battlefield do not affect the amount of damage.

maybe the primary skills of the heroes who are fighting are taken into account here???

after all, some have more defense, which is why the damage is lower... and vice versa

I remember when defending the castle, my ballistae dealt 0.5-1.5K damage with an expert ballistics skill.

Did your hero happen to have a focus on ballistics, like Christian does for the humans? When his level gets close to 20 or more, such damage is realistic, because with every level the attack of the ballistas increases!

The amount of damage depends only on the number of "structures" (buildings) currently present in the city. The defense level of the attacking unit and its position on the field do not affect the amount of damage.

Here is the most accurate answer:

Moreover, even if your hero has the Artillery skill, or is even a specialist in it, you only direct who to shoot at, but the damage doesn't increase... although sometimes it happens that the damage is written as 160, but in reality it will be around 70...

Regarding artillery: I had a situation where a ballista (artillery) killed 3 devils, even though the hero was quite decent...
And as for towers during defense: there were times when they dealt almost 5000 damage!!!
P.S. At first, even my friends didn't believe it until I showed them the save file... :)

Did your hero happen to have a specialization in ballistics, like Christian from the Haven faction? When his level approaches 20 or higher, such damage is realistic because the attack power of ballistae increases with each level!

What do these words mean? Christian's specialty is Ballistics, not catapults! Please don't confuse...

The number of buildings certainly affects the power of the Tower's attack, but it is far from the only factor.
I've seen such wonders that Ley talks about; Towers can simply obliterate a huge number of creatures. I managed to defeat more than 10 Black Dragons with a single shot from the central Tower.
What does it depend on? I don't understand. It feels like there's some kind of cumulative bonus based on the time you've owned the Castle and the number of attacks you've repelled.

So: I don't know the exact answer, but regarding the buildings in the city, the answer is not exhaustive.

So, I don't know the exact answer, but here is what I can say about buildings in a city – the answer isn't complete.
