Hello, I read through this thread and couldn't find the answer to my question: how do you upgrade castles? Just half an hour ago, I was playing Heroes, and a situation arose where the computer captured my city (the towers fired once), but when I attacked it, these towers started firing 5 times each. :confused: In general, can someone explain it to me? I would be very grateful. P.S. When I was attacked, there were only 3 units in the city, and only a few of each.

Perhaps the campaign hero has the artifact "golden arrow," and I don't see any other explanation.

Was everything as the monarch said, and are there no other ways to upgrade the towers besides this arrow?

It's possible that you have such a script installed. But most likely, this is the work of Golden Arrow; you can load the game on your computer and check if he had such an art piece.

Are you sure the towers fired 5 times? Maybe he just had a Castle built, not a Stronghold... then three towers fire =)
PS Upgraded units don't seem to give that bonus to towers, like Ballista.
PSS Just noticed this is about In the Wake of Gods) Hehe... but still.

I observed it in the same way, especially when my towers were shooting. =) And it also gives a bonus: when you attack an enemy city, its towers don't shoot. =|

A hero possessing the artifact "Golden Arrow" receives the following bonuses:
When attacking a castle: Towers do not fire.
When defending a castle: The number of shots from ranged towers depends on the level of the "Ballistics" skill.
Without the skill - 2 shots.
Basic Ballistics - 3 shots.
Advanced Ballistics - 4 shots.
Expert Ballistics - 5 shots.

Maybe it was just a glitch in the computer? I had something similar happen to me. I attacked the AI. The battle started. And then, its Elves (!!!) move to my outermost top unit, turn around, and pass through my entire army to the outermost bottom unit, turn around, and go back to their army, taking a position opposite to where they were at the beginning of the battle. It happens!

This happens when there is a Tactics skill and many impassable areas.

Oh my god, after reading the thread, I thought that EVERY tower fires five times :) Towers can only fire five times if the hero has the "arrows" skill and experience in ballistics.

Here, Dirty_Player already answered, and I didn't notice.

I thought that with the "extra ballista" upgrade, only the ballista shoots twice, and this skill doesn't affect the towers' firing rate.
