Description
Here is a Untextured balista, we want your thoughts on it.
This is a small Balista that can be put on walls and towers, doesn't have the punch of a full sized one but it is still very useful.
Yes it would look similar to other Pieces, but we are being realistic, we are using Historical sources for this.
Is this about the same size of a crossbow?
Bigger, because crossbows of those times where quite small.
This would be a very heavy to carry by yourself.
This could be installed on the Wooden towers (not the Palisade) and the Stone tower we have (Let again not the curtain wall, not wide enough)
i like it
please say there are impalations?
It could be, this could insta-kill anyone if hit straight in the chest.
But as we all know from watching deadliest warriors (that really is a terrible show, their science is so off....), that thing is inaccurate as they come 50+ meters....
BUT, they used the more powerful version which is always at a angle, while this would be moveable like a MG nest would be (Meaning like a turret)
OH YEAH! one of my most favorite medieval heavy weapons
I may correct you if I am allowed, but this is a 'light' piece, able to pretty much insta-kill any one person.
oh ok, but will there be any bigger/heavier versions >:D
and what about the bolts? is there going to be one version or can you choose different ones like flamable?
Well this is the smaller version, yes we will have different types of bolts to fire, ranging from broadheads to Armour Piercing (which the other bolts can already pierce, but this will go through a man)
