Siege Tower Mounted Ballista
The Mod admittedly started out as a much more ambitious Artillery Overhaul Mod, but alas, the core mechanics and featured units of the greater mod ended up a complete failure. So I ended up decided, what the hell, just release the part of the failed mod that works.
This small mod simply adds:
– Lithobolos Ballista atop Heavy Siege Towers
– Light Bolt Shooter atop Medium Siege Towers
The mounted engines provides supporting fire as the tower approaches the walls, supressing the defenders with effective counter-fire from higher position. The Lithobolos Ballista are surprisingly efficient at taking out Bastion Onagers.
FAQ:
-What Mod is Incompatible with this one?
Any mod that edits Deployable Siege Vehicles Hitpoints, Ram Attack Damage, Siege Vehicles Recruitment Cap, Siege Vehicles Ignition Threshold, and Siege Engine Autoresolve Effectiveness.
Most Mod would be compatible though
And oh, The Real-Life Helepolis was much more deadly than the Siege Towers of this mod. I got to say though, this mod fits better for Rome 2’s timeframe rather than Attila, but I don’t have the game…
