Petition to remove bomb bolts

easy way to defeat bomb bolts
slash them midair and they simply cease to exist
(and any archer can destroy them in like 60 seconds)

 

The problem is when people put them on their own (non-frontal) tower, because archers cannon retaliate as easily. Just getting in range without dying is difficult, let alone surviving long enough to aim and fire two bomb arrows.

EDIT: I made a mod to make them do less damage, check it out here.

 

Instead of a global upgrade they should be an upgrade for a single ballista.
So if you want to have two ballista's firing explosives, or if the first got destroyed, you have to buy the upgrade twice.

 

slashing ballista bolts out of existence without an explosion is utterly retarded and makes no sense imo. You could say that it takes skill and should be rewarded, but wasn't arrow slashing removed for the exact same reason?

 

If a bomb bolt is not a permanent upgrade, then it would be better if you had to buy a set of bomb bolts. 6 bomb bolts would be 120 coins, similar to a keg. Smert? I think so. You could still buy reg bolts, but if you have enough money you can buy bomb bolts, so you have to continually buy it if you want to continually use it.

 

I disagree, there should be a minor reward for tactical placement of the ballista.

If the upgrade is for the ballista, builders will place them where the enemy can't reach them, or invent new defenses to do so.
If you pay for every bolt that kinda makes it a glass cannon; you can just place it, launch 6 bolts, and abandon it because by now there's six archers locked and loaded with bomb arrows aiming at your ballista.

In my opinion, anything that makes building less about placing walls and more about tactics is an improvement.

 

You do realize that a ballista has only 12 shots before you have to buy more. Its about the same thing, and bomb bolts/bolts in general should be 60 coins, definitely not 30.
