Guys, you completely missed the point of the question. Besides tents, ballistae, and carts, we need to come up with a unique combat machine for each faction. For example, a dome that grants 30% magic resistance to selected magic units. Or a siege wall that protects its units from Haven archers. Or some special dendroids for Sylvan. Or a seismic machine for the demons...

IMHO: There weren't unique machines for each race, and let's keep it that way! A tower and a ram for everyone.

That's clearly an overdoing. It's better to have unique items for each faction than just generic siege weapons and towers, which, by the way, don't really fit the style of Heroes.

P.S.: Could it be possible to make it so that a hero with the advanced ballistics skill has the option to buy not just a tent, a ballista, and a cart, but two ballistas or two tents. And with expert ballistics - three ballistas or three tents...

This is completely unnecessary in my opinion. But giving the ability to upgrade regular combat machines to special ones as the level increases – that's a good idea!

Really? And how do you envision transforming a ballista into, say, a wheeled platform, a dendroid, or a siege tower?

In the forge, after acquiring the skill, the hero can personally modify items for gold and resources. It's not made of sugar; it won't break!

Creating a catapult for the Necropolis faction that throws infected corpses over the castle walls would prevent them from hiding inside the city!

Why? Necropolis and Warlock factions have a special ability: Plague Tent, which deals damage equal to the healing power of the First Aid Tent.

Yeah! Large animal corpses (cows, for example :D), and have the plague trigger in a certain radius with every corpse!:D :D :Dyeah I've already seen that :D maybe just throw your own monsters in there so you don't even need to break the gates:D
The ram is unnecessary, it's true, they aren't heroes anymore. Better, for example (off the top of my head), a magical catapult throwing magnetic magic spheres that explode on impact and break the chains and locks holding the door, or simply a road teleport to teleport a unit behind the fence. And elves, as I already mentioned regarding the "super dendroid," could entangle walls and the moat with roots or vines from underground; and when defending, conversely, hold up a breaking wall or door.

Unique combat machine for Necromancers: Mobile Veil of Darkness, can shroud one unit for one turn (can be used every turn).
For Humans: Field Church, casts a battle spirit on one unit.
For Mages: Sphere of Antimagic, covers one unit with a magic-resistant dome.

Interesting idea! Or, conversely, summon reinforcements. You could also add the ability to retreat without paying money to the enemy. And if the opponent has seriously upgraded their magic resistance, then during teleportation, a certain number of units die!!! They are lost, so to speak, in magical space.

For Dark Elves – Poison Brew, poisons the unit's weapon. For Elves – Tree of Life, revives some units, replacing them with units of a lower level. For Demons – Hellfire, casts a wall of fire against the enemy.

For humans, the ballista is upgraded; in the movie Joan of Arc, there was such a thing. I don't know if it has its own name. It's also a ballista, but it affects three cells.
