Now make it able to fire 20 spaces xD

Actually I want a unit that can do that now D:
Knite Prime 13 Aug, 2015 @ 2:00pm 
how about weaker strengh range but fires further
Dynamite With A Laser Beam 24 Jan, 2015 @ 1:14am 
interesting but may need some minor balancing, perhaps weaker ranged strength but stronger combat strength?
Nkrumah 21 Jan, 2015 @ 7:13pm 
Is this keep on upgrade or a one time thing?
aquilaiovis 10 Dec, 2014 @ 5:43am 
Great work! I thought of the same thing, searched it, and it was already done by you, exactly as how I wanted it to be! I hope you'll make more mods! Keep it on! :)
Coolcrumbshark 27 Sep, 2014 @ 1:02am 
is it any stronger asides from the no set up?
Haulikkohiisi 18 Aug, 2014 @ 4:49pm 
Where's Nau's sell exotic goods promotion?... I remember there was mod about this. Still looking for it...

I have one personal request - can you switch polish winged hussars into the replacement of knights (instead of lancers, which as cavalry class came way after the end of hussars; while at the end of Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth was turning into cavalry)? I'm asking because this unit was used in such wide purposes as knights/cavalry used to be, not purely anti-cavalry unit .

heheh Krajzen "good mods"
Krajzen  [author] 26 Mar, 2014 @ 5:15am 
Bashee - haha apparently 1889 people don't think it was strong enough XD Thanks for good rates, I really didn't expect such success - making this mod took me one good idea and few minutes XD
BansheeHowl 26 Mar, 2014 @ 4:58am 
As if the Ballista wasn't strong enough yet :I
master gene 25 Mar, 2014 @ 3:00pm 
many thanks bra
JaggedMallard 25 Mar, 2014 @ 8:58am 
The Ballista is powerful enough especially when used with the Legion, it can 3 shot a city.

simple, yet very VERY effective. Well done good sir, well done. :Uranium:
Jotho 24 Mar, 2014 @ 5:30am 
Pretty awesome, that really helps with the Rome gameplay!
Kid Charlemagne 24 Mar, 2014 @ 4:47am 
Now I can conquer that Greek expansionist...
KANG 23 Mar, 2014 @ 11:33pm 
I thought that was ezio for a moment. :P Nice mod though
Alabaster 23 Mar, 2014 @ 4:21pm 
perfect i think you even taught me a thing or 2 about rome :)
The Pedullist 23 Mar, 2014 @ 2:12pm 
Love this mod. Makes the early game combat of Rome (which should be powerful due to its special units) more viable as a strategy.
Mzwaga Umgungunalovdu 23 Mar, 2014 @ 9:38am 
Very nice. I like it. Ill probably use this mod in my normal single player games.
frid_n_nedley 23 Mar, 2014 @ 8:24am 
From a power point of view, you might want to weaken it slightly in return for that mobility. It's a good idea, though.
Historically, by the Late Empire period, they even had a light ballista in a cart that could be moved around the battlefield, you can see that in the Rome: Total War expansion.
Atilaa 23 Mar, 2014 @ 7:59am 
good job, really like how you fixed the ballista to be more historically accurate!
Nicky C 23 Mar, 2014 @ 6:55am 
That's cool. I didn't know they were easily transported, and this makes them notably more effective. Nice mod.
ambassadeur 23 Mar, 2014 @ 5:58am 
Very interesting, now legions are really mighty.

Thanks! I encourage you to continue to develop this kind of realistic mods.
Krajzen  [author] 23 Mar, 2014 @ 5:47am 
Thanks for the whole support - to be honest I am shocked, I never expected my simple mods and especially this tiny mod (3 minutes of work :p) to be on top of the week ;0
安西军 23 Mar, 2014 @ 5:00am 
Good work, well done. Having great fun playing with the mod. Thx for contributing!

Frost, TIL
Praxic 22 Mar, 2014 @ 3:34pm 
Nice mod, however I want to point out that the plural of ballista is ballistae not ballistas.
Brain_Lag 22 Mar, 2014 @ 2:32pm 
Nice Idea!
Bandit 22 Mar, 2014 @ 1:23pm 
good idea
Silverfishv9 20 Mar, 2014 @ 6:09pm 
@syrup both have been done on the workshop before, just search them,
@Krajzen, some modders found a way to get hotseat multiplayer working with mods, so even if it's only LAN, it's still possible.
Steve Buscemi 20 Mar, 2014 @ 3:27pm 
Hey if your looking for mod ideas I thought it would be awesome if you buffed the samuri since the samuri is the same strength as the long swords man and a dojo might be cool to add replacing the barracks
Krajzen  [author] 20 Mar, 2014 @ 6:40am 
Thorgrim -> uhm... Mods don't work in multiplayer :( (by the way, this makes complaining on 'overpowered' mods a bit pointless)
Opa Wulfen 20 Mar, 2014 @ 5:40am 
Shouldn't be an issue. Artillery is pretty easy to destory vs. the computer so what odds if they get move and fire? Might be a bit OP in multi-player but that shouldn't dictate the single player game to much. Besides the Romans were meant to be feared. This'll put the fear of Augustus into you ;-)
Civitar 19 Mar, 2014 @ 2:55am 
BRILLIANT! I love playing as Rome and invading everybody (with lots of Legions and Ballistae) so this is perfect!

Die, Attila!
Furry Profile Pic 18 Mar, 2014 @ 11:43pm 
Thank you. My biggest problem with Rome was the ballista.

@pythonz. You think a cannon with that promotion is overpowered, try artilery with one such promotion.
hungiton 18 Mar, 2014 @ 9:39pm 
very interesting idea but does it get the "has to set up before attack" promotion when upgraded cause having like 4 cannons like this would be a bit broken
Tenhi 18 Mar, 2014 @ 7:26pm 
Does it keep the lack of "has to set up to attack" if you upgrade it? That would be a little bit unbalanced...
TRusheeRush 18 Mar, 2014 @ 4:27pm 
I like this, very useful and very accurate.
Krajzen  [author] 18 Mar, 2014 @ 4:18pm 
I must admit this is one of my favourite ideas - it is pretty historical and really unique :) (while removing negative 'has to set up to attack' promotion is extremely easy) Glad you're liking it ;)
The Phoenix King 18 Mar, 2014 @ 4:16pm 
i have always gotten upset when i cant attack with my catapult because of the set up mechanic so this will make me play the romans more:)
