good, but this in map section and not in weapons?

Good point. I'll move it.

I like it as long as they're not too powerful, otherwise it'd be really easy when you got to one

They even could be powerful, because you couldnt move while using them.

Hmm... would the enemies go for you to dislodge you from the ballista or catapult so they can use it or just try to destroy the catapult itself?

I was thinking that the friend or foe using the weapon would be able to use it for as long as he stayed on it. You would point the weapon by moving around it and fire by pressing the mouse.

As soon as you move off the weapon (whether blasted off or walk off) you would no longer be able to fire it.

Some enemies would attack you, some would go for the weapon.

Maybe some required a password, and some that are super powerful drain your health.

And maybe you could cast spells on them once you get a spell, that drains your life, makes it super powerful, but gives the life to an enemy that uses it next, but its weak.

I think that they just need to dislodge you, because then they could use it. But, maybe for really powerful ones, they could alter the landscape (catapults destroy walls :))

good one a 5 pointer

probably not happening, but a mounted rapid fire crossbow thing that the orcs have would be nice.

good idea 5 pts

This catapult thing sounds good to me, but they should either be strong with a slow rate of fire, or weak with a fast rate of fire, so that it wont be powerful in both areas; the ones that you first would encounter could be weak in both areas.

Maybe catapult would have slow fire rate, but medium damage and huge blast radius for the "explosive" uh... bombs it throws?

oops i voted twice

this is awesome 1 of the best ideas yet i giv it 5 for sure also how mout there are: ballistas, catapults, cannons, giant orcish crossbow thingies, magic cannon (fires big beam), and hammer machine (big hammer pull the switch and boom no mor gate/wall put it beside walls and u must use it to win and enemies and maby a boos guards it and it breaks down black sorcerers wall and u get in and fite his minions until get to him and ohh ya oops went a little long eh ehehehe bya

Static Weapons rule!

Time to go electrocute some enemies!

I hope this makes it in the final game. The dwarf towers are almost like statc weapons if you changed them to wear your dwarves had to get in them, or if you're particularly evil, where your dwarves have to get in them, and then they can get hijacked!

yes good. i dont want soldiers in my army as they die REAL easy and they complain alot so it would be funny if you could torture them.
