Overpowered ballistas/catapults

[Hoosier1070]

The one thing that really honks me when I'm under siege is I'll have a besieging army which one ballista which will sit back and pound on my walls and then they crumble. Sorry but even in a vanilla game, thats ridiculous. About the only siege weapon capable of taking down heavy stone walls was a trebuchet.

Does anyone know a way to mod the file to reduce ballista/catapult damage against walls? If I had to fix something, that would be it!

Have you updated your game to the latest version? IIRC ballista’s were way too powerful against stone walls in the first version. If you're updated ballista’s will only do 0-1% against stone walls.

That's 1.3 right? If so then yes

You edit the EDU (export_descr_unit) file. Find the ballista's and catapults and lower the damage they do to walls. To edit the EDU you have to unpack it first. You can find the unpacker in the tools folder. First read the readme carefully before you unpack the game.

I think only the damage against units is in the export_descr_unit and the damage against buildings is in descr_projectile
