Complete imbalance.
Just saying, it would be nice to have the option to buy additional units, naturally making them weaker.

That's not necessary! It would be great to have the ability to place traps on the map that drop rocks directly on a hero, reducing their army by half! But that's just fantasy!
However, there is the "Earthquake" ability, which deals damage and stuns creatures behind a fortress wall.

This feature is already implemented in Heroes of Might and Magic!:D

:) The Inferno town has a hero named Dalab, and he has a devastating ballista. From the very beginning, it can kill quite a few enemies. This ballista deals two damage with a single shot, and those standing nearby also lose health. :D And if you develop it further, it can hit approximately 300 Skeletons or peasants with three shots... :cool:

You are exaggerating a bit, but it will still do considerable damage!

If you upgrade the skill, it will be almost as effective :D.

:) The Inferno town has a hero named Dalab who starts with a devastating ballista. From the very beginning, it can kill a significant number of enemies.

So, he was born to fight with war machines; I wouldn't waste it on peasants, but definitely use it on skeletons. Dalab just needs to be prepared for enemies trying to take down his ballista early on, but he should be able to get a shot off, which is fair.

Only 2 shots. 3 shots are only available for the Knight and the Sylvan Elf.

And now, Gnomes also have it. I've noticed that the more you upgrade the "War Machines" skill for Gnomes, the more aggressively neutral units attack the ballista, trying to destroy it. I think it's simply because it becomes weaker than a stack of regular warriors.

And now, it's happening with the Dwarves too. I've noticed that the more you level up the "War Machines" skill for the Dwarves, the more aggressively neutral creatures attack the ballista, trying to destroy it. I think it's simply because it becomes weaker than any stack of warriors.

But killing a ballista with 1000 hit points and amazing defense will be difficult... and it will regenerate after the battle anyway!:smile19:

But don't forget that you have to spend a turn to destroy it, and it will still regenerate after the battle. However, when playing against another player, "Meteor Shower" will be your ally. In any case, any decent player will defeat a leveled-up Dwarven ballista because allowing it to have 3 times the attack and initiative is, at the very least, short-sighted and impractical.

True, if a skilled player is playing as Dwarves, they will likely also have Dwarf Luck, so Meteor Shower might miss...:smile08:

I used to get a super ability from the dwarves. True, in the campaign in the expansion pack, right before the very last battle, I completely sacrificed my luck. I think even in a normal hot-seat game, it's better to improve luck, because it's harder to play without it. Also, improve the ballista and defense.
2 silovik - it depends on how long the battle will be. Because if there's a chance to quickly defeat the dwarven creatures, why expose yourself at the beginning of the battle and go to the ballista? If you have powerful spells, then there are no questions!
Here's a screenshot of the moment I received the super ability from the dwarf in the campaign.
