now, the Deleb ballista will be even more powerful at the beginning of the game.

Almost cheating! And which of the undead units has a ballista that fires freezing arrows?

I haven't checked if Cold Steel works on a ballista, so I don't know. :confused:

Hey, has anyone maxed out the ballista skill and Greek Fire skill for the Elves?
And what were the results?
Assuming the same level, which ballista – the one from Deleb (Inferno) or the one from the Elves – deals more damage to the same creature (not on the Elves' list of enemies)?

P.S.
By "maxed out ballista," I mean up to the fast ballista skill!

Deleb will definitely win!

now the Deleb ballista will be even stronger at the beginning of the game

an add-on for Heroes???
the one about dwarves or whatever they are called:confused:

Changes have been made to the war machine skill:

Very nasty changes.... A ballista with 1100 HP, firing three times per turn... it makes me shudder at the thought of this terrible battle (and now I'm just scared of Deleb). Now combat machines have become overpowered.

Yes, computers don't really use ballistae. They have tents, but they don't go any further than that.

These are really bad changes.... A ballista with 1100 HP, firing three times per turn... it makes me cringe just thinking about this terrible battle (and now I'm just scared of Delebs). Now combat machines have become overpowered.

And it's right that the developers increased this skill. Because before, how could you compare a single ballista to a full squad of archers? The ballista wasn't even close, except maybe for the first 3 weeks. But now, it's hard to kill. There's now only one archer of level 7 that you can buy at the beginning of the game!:)

If you develop the ballista right away (to its maximum level), it will become a death machine!

Ugh, I really hate early-game skirmishes. And I don't like my ballista either; it either blinds my units or causes some other problem. Since I don't level up machine control, the most important thing for me is the siege workshop, especially when some weak hero attacks my town.

And to increase the threat that ballistae pose to the enemy, it's not necessary to upgrade the war machines... I have a special ability: Cold Steel...
Although, if you focus on ballistae, they can be used against archangels...

But it has more than one drawback: if it's not controlled, it's better not to use it against succubi: you save your own units, but then it fires...
And if you don't take it seriously, they won't be able to make an XL version...

It has more than one drawback: if it's not controllable, it's better not to attack Succubi: you save your own units, but it can unleash a powerful attack...
And if you start fantasizing, they won't be able to make an XL version either...

But that's only against demons... and if, for example, you play as Elves against them, you can turn all the Succubi into minced meat with a single attack... + if luck is on your side.

It’s a pity that Necropolis cannot imbue ballistae with poison, or at least a poison cloud. After all, Inferno can launch such projectiles...
However, at the beginning of the game, the ballista is quite expensive (4500 gold), and by the end, other ranged units overshadow it... Of course, an additional attack would be good...
Maybe introduce a quantity limit for ballistae? At the beginning, 1 would be enough, and by the end, 40 would be in use. Then there wouldn't be such a power gap between units and the ballista. And make the increase, for example, every other week... It would be a dream come true!
