Catapults

from Elemental Forums

Like the title says. Anyone used one? I never seen em mentioned in balance or patches or anything. Never used one till today.

I built one today for the first time ever. But didnt really get to use it, nothing left to fight but a mega dragon which just dodged it. Not really fair to judge the catapult on this tho.

I cant beleive there a whole another unit type burried way down the tech tree!

Can we get this put in at the start? I like variety and since you gone to the effort to make the unit, make it available.

If you like make it weaker and then get upgrades thru tech.

May seem minor but to me it just seems such a waste to have made it and not use it.

It's like the dragon lair.  By the time you get anything out, you don't need it.

As opposed to the other lairs/villages/camps: By the time you get anything out, you don't want it.

Catapults need to come earlier in the tech tree, and there needs to be something better than catapults later on.

haha ^_^

That said, I never ever used catapults, had them as a defense unit once through a fortress upgrade, but wasn't attacked
I usually never even research the technology for catapults, that far up the warfare tree... there is nothing good to gain (Meaby catapults, but then again) (PS Its not because its not good up the research tree, its because its not needed ^_^)
