Ballista tactics

[Benny Moore]

Their real life counterparts had double or triple the range. Also, they actually had longer range than onagers. I modified my game to reflect that, although I didn't go as far as doubling the range.

The ranges used for all the seige weapons are abysmally low compared to some of the archer ranges.

[Craterus]

yea, i always thought they were quite low!

Well, one web site stated that onager crews were often in range of arrows from the walls, but who knows if that's true or not. It's the ballistas that got really nerfed.
