Talking #3. Player's Army, part. III

Hey there! Today we are going to talk about siege weapons in Diplomacy is Not an Option.
Medieval machines were needed mainly to siege a city, i.e. to break the walls and crush the archers exposed on them (and behind them) with heavy projectiles. In "Diplomacy is Not an Option" we went beyond. From now on you can use siege weapons, in a remarkably impressive way, as weapons of mass destruction. In addition our siege machines are alive, so they can starve to death or catch a disease, just like the other citizens.
When enemy forces approach your settlement, Ballistae, Catapults and Trebuchetes can be placed on walls or towers, to maximize the damage they inflict.
Ballista is a warmachine, which is best aimed at a specific enemy. For example, on the one with the thickest armor. Its projectile hits a single target, but its killing power significantly exceeds the power of Crossbowmen or Archers. The time to reload the Ballista can be reduced by completing special research.
Catapult is a siege weapon that shoots huge round rocks. As a consequence, it deals areal damage. And any unfortunates hit by the thrown stone are epically scattered as a result of the kinetic impulse. In addition, you can increase the projectile's damage area with the help of research.
The Trebuchet is the most powerful siege weapon in the game. It works on the same principle as the catapult, but has a longer range and a larger area of impact. Among all types of player's troops, the Trebuchet is undoubtedly the most effective tool to kill the enemies.
The time required to produce Catapults and Trebuchetes can be reduced by completing the appropriate research. So in the later stages of the game, you can get a whole battery of siege machines, which will allow you to feel as a "flame dancing on the mounds of his enemies", in the words of the classic.
With that optimistic note, we conclude the overview of player's army. Thank you for being with us. See you soon!
