The Ballista, plural ballistae, was a weapon developed from earlier Greek weapons. It relied upon different mechanics, using two levers with torsion springs instead of a prod, the springs consisting of several loops of twisted skeins.


Ballistae have a long shooting range and are effective against other siege weapons.  They are very effective against fortifications as they out-range Archer Towers.  Currently, they can capture Cities on their own without any supporting troops. Balanced against this is the amount of resources required to build them and the very slow rate of training.

Ballista vs NPC

History

During the days of the Empire conquests, the ballista proved its value in sieges and battles, on ships, and on land. It was even used to quell riots. Many archaeological finds of ballistae date from the time of the Roman Empire; ancient technical manuals and journal accounts have been used to reconstruct these weapons in modern times.

oK MOST KNOW THAT YOUR HERO SHOULD BE AT LEAST ATT 175 DEPENDING ON THE LVL. HERO IN THE NPC. Then you should get by with 450 balis plus 400 trans to bring back your goodies. If for instance your heros are low but your accadamiy is right then you might get by with550 balis.
