Re: Ballista Ship
It is a good idea! Should be used like an expensive, heavy warship probably.
The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.
Re: Ballista Ship
We have a catapult ship why not a ballista ship!!
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

Re: Ballista Ship
the idea is good but i think it would be overuses for water maps if the cost is too low and not used at all if too high. Also the grapling hoot idea is a bit weird since it would be useless against ground units, what would it do, hold them in place? . I dont like the idea it would be op or underpowered
I can bet you don't know who I am.

Re: Ballista Ship
Fire arrows? Not something I would like to see this thing fire. The grappling hooks are fine. As long as the ship can't move while the target is grappled. It's cost should be a resounding 6. It can be a support ship. Working with other ships together to keep important places relatively safe from naval attack.

Re: Ballista Ship
Harpoon ship
Cost 6
Same stats as warship, except: entangling weapon. (Lightning weapon, but reduces speed by only 2 and stacks)
Slows down enemy ships and troops, for 2 cost above warship

Re: Ballista Ship
It's a lot like poison archer compared to archer. 1.5x price and no upgrade, for a useful ability.
Yes, this would probably influence ground units too, like a battering ram being immobilized.

Re: Ballista Ship

I think that harpoon must immobilize only mechanical units (ships, siege units, wagons...) and can't influence on movement of living units.Sunrise Samurai wrote:It's a lot like poison archer compared to archer. 1.5x price and no upgrade, for a useful ability.

Re: Ballista Ship
Yeah, probably best if it only hits mechanical units.

Re: Ballista Ship
Why not? It's not as if a living person would go far when a harpoon pierces into his body. The original harpoon thrower idea was supposed to influence flesh only. I don't see how a larger weapon cannot do the same.

He would probably bleed out slowly, but the only thing we have is poison.

Re: Ballista Ship
what if we raise the cost of the ballista ship and make it so a player would have to research a tech to build it. I think we should ceep the Idea.

By the sounds of it... It seems interesting, I like the idea.
