Maybe once we refine them a bit. Right now they are a little too expensive to make. The experience we gained this turn should make developing wall version possible like how our cities have balistas on them already. Also the coal coke and blast furnace should make creating them easier as well.

I didn't remember how you changed your mind. My bad.
Eh, it depends on for how long the votes continue. Maybe we can get 1-2 votes per hour we wait or so. I don't think there is much chance of people changing sides at this point.
All our (big) cities are already fortified, adding cannons would just be common sense. Maybe Ballistas for the poorer ones (they should be cheaper, shouldn't they?). Could be a martial action after we up our steel production.
question: do you all think Ballistas can still be usefull once we have cannons, or should they be completely dropped?
I find it a bit sad to drop them just 5 years until we used them for the first time. And they were such an innovation too!
wait, ALL our cities already have ballistas?

I dont ever really see us getting rid of ballistas for a while they are to useful right now and yes while cannons can out preform them ballistas are easier to make and move i imagine. Probably not until we perfect the cannons some more would we then get rid of them.

Ballistas are still useful they are faster and cheaper. They pack enough power to kill armored trolls and even the abominations of Sombra's army. They will remain since it is better to have them around than not later on as we continue to advance we will replace them but for now they are still useful.
Yep our cities have non-mobile versions that are bigger and stronger than the one the army takes with us. After we made them and installed them in the capital the rest of the cities starting adding them as defenses against the monsters and larger threats.

Hope this city has a few pointed south then.

They should. They were meant to be placed around the entire city walls. And while they aren't as mobile like the ones we carry into battle they have had weeks to move them to the southern face in preparation.

So not to like to jinx it, but what's stopping Sombra boy from seeing the avalanche and negating the entire thing by spawning black gemstones from the side of the mountain and creating a tunnel above him that saves his entire force? He was able to grow heck off huge sized gemstones, wasn't he?
the dice.

well, an avalanche has A LOT of snow. Even if i want to retreat i don't actually believe he can stop ALL of it. I expect he'll protect only PART of his army, maybe half at most, probably less. I worry it won't be enough, not that Sombra will no-sell-it. Not unless he crits at least.
Unless, of course, we fail the roll HARD and the explosives just don't work.

If you worry about necromancy it's VERY unlikely, as it's not an ability Sombra ever displayed (and it doesn't really fit with his shadow/crystal/mind control abilities)
If it's a matter of honor, we can come back later. The living matter more than the dead, and the cold will preserve the bodies

They are talking about the enemy army I think. Which doesn't matter unless we killed most if not all of the 15000 remaining our own forces would still be outmatched as they are right now.
