ballista counter attack?
I think ballista shouldnt b able to counter atk because it is impossible to counter a melee swordsman at close range using such a bulky weapon. Also i believe catapults couldnt counter atk at melee range too so ballista shouldnt b an exception
There is no place for false kings here, only those who proves themselves to b the true kings of legend, or serves under me

Re: ballista counter attack?
Although, it would be justified because it is meant to kill infantry. . .
But I see your point.

Re: ballista counter attack?
Ballista already is enough strong to kill most infantry, rather infantry needs something to counter them effectively
For example, maceman currently has enough bonus to destroy a heavy catapult with one hit, for ballista, Celtic warrior is effective but I think it shouldn't get counter atked from ballista, cuz its unrealistic
Ballista is mostly effective at atkin enemies hidden inside towns, as they dont miss towns, on the other hand a defensive fortress almost makes them redundant as an offensive unit, does making it delicately balanced, the way I like the most

Re: ballista counter attack?
It makes too less damage,still.
But yes,Ballista should not counter attack.
Same goes for trebuchets,cannoneers,catapult.
But that will change the game's whole concept as archers too couldn't counter attack.

Re: ballista counter attack?
Catapults and trebs already cannot counter atk
Only ballista can counter atk so it should change considering it is cheaper than the other units

No way!makazuwr32 wrote:Uhm... archers can if they survive.
There was no archer who had three hands,two to operate bow and arrow,and one with a weapon,nor was there any archer who could operate bow and arrow with a single hand.
Nor can they shoot someone with arrow,because that would be too short distance.And the same goes for Ballista,so GoK is correct
GoK:Was not entirely sure of this

Re: ballista counter attack?
I mean they can counter in the game right now.
Try to attack basic archer in melee with basic swordman - he will get counter damage and he will get full one.

Re: ballista counter attack?
U should see how hawk eye in Marvel's avengers fight, he once counter attacked scarlet witch with a stun arrow head, and if it was real metal head then it would have pierced her skull, it is quite possible to atk with bow and arrow at melee range, and in fact a direct hit from that arrow is far more deadly than anything, u just need to wait with Ur weapon until the enemy reaches point blank range, and release the arrow just b4 he strikes

Re: ballista counter attack?
Exactly gok. And because i think archers must still have counter attack. If still alive.

Re: ballista counter attack?
But thats THE AVENGERS and he is Hawk Eye.
Neither we have a hawk eye,nor is it done as you think.
If you still don't believe me,then,you can go here:
https://www.quora.com/Do-archers-shoot-at-close-range
And the way you are saying,in that concept,Legolas of Lotr had no use of shooting from far enough
My point is both Ballista and Archer should be removed from counter attack

Re: ballista counter attack?
I never planned removing counter from archers, is it suggested for realisticity's sake, or for gameplay?Because gameplay is much important.

Re: ballista counter attack?
I think we should see things according to gameplay,because an archer is supposed to one-hit kill an enemy in reality.
So yes,we should see things from Gameplay View

Re: ballista counter attack?
I don't see why the ballista should not counter attack. Its counter attack doesn't deal that much damage does it?
Thanks!
