'''Ballistics''' is a [[secondary skill]], that gives the player manual control over the [[catapult]] in a [[Siege]], increases the chances of hitting an intended wall and increases the chance of doing double damage. The castle walls as well as Drawbridge, Keep and [[Arrow Towers]] have 2 hitpoints (upon building castle standard walls are upgraded to fortified walls, which have 3 hitpoints). Additionally, at advanced and expert level of Ballistics catapults fire twice instead of just once. | '''Ballistics''' is a [[secondary skill]], that gives the player manual control over the [[catapult]] in a [[Siege]], increases the chances of hitting an intended wall and increases the chance of doing double damage.

It's interesting that Ballistics secondary skill doesn't buff [[Ballista]]. The latter works better via [[Artillery]]. | |||

Ballistics is a secondary skill, that gives the player manual control over the catapult in a Siege, increases the chances of hitting an intended wall and increases the chance of doing double damage. The castle walls as well as Drawbridge, Keep and Arrow Towers have 2 hitpoints (upon building castle standard walls are upgraded to fortified walls, which have 3 hitpoints). Additionally, at advanced and expert level of Ballistics catapults fire twice instead of just once.
It's interesting that Ballistics secondary skill doesn't buff Ballista. The latter works better via Artillery.
