Complete imbalance.

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!

I just wanted to say that I miss the ability to buy additional creatures, naturally weakening them.
: )

:) The Inferno town has a hero named Dalab with a devastating ballista. From the very beginning, it can kill quite a few enemies. This ballista deals two damage with one 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’re exaggerating a bit, but it will still deal considerable damage!

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

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 don't forget that you have to spend a turn to destroy it, and it will still recover after the battle. However, when playing against a human opponent, Meteor Shower will be your ally. Any decent player will defeat a leveled-up Dwarf Ballista, because allowing it to have 3 times the normal stats and also have high initiative is, at the very least, short-sighted and impractical.

True, if a skilled player plays as the Fortress, they will likely also have the "Dwarven Luck" skill, so the Meteor Shower spell might miss...:smile08:
