Typically, war machines except the Catapult are bought from [[Blacksmith]]s, which sell different war machine depending on the [[town]]. Additionally, war machines can be bought from an Adventure Map location called the [[War Machine Factory]], which sell all war machines (except Catapults and Cannons{{-wh}}). Cannons{{-wh}} can be purchased from a [[Cannon Yard]]{{-wh}}. [[Stronghold]] has the special building [[Ballista Yard]], where a visiting hero can buy a Ballista. All heroes have the Catapult with them, and if one is destroyed in the combat, a new one is automatically added to hero's catapult slot. | Typically, war machines except the Catapult are bought from [[Blacksmith]]s, which sell different war machine depending on the [[town]].

A ballista is a missile weapon that, like ranged units, shoots projectiles toward enemy troops, but is unable to [[retaliation|retaliate]] against attacks. It can shoot even if one or several enemy stacks are adjacent to it. It has a basic damage range (of 2–3) like creatures, but the damage calculation is different. The formula for the calculation of damage is (2–3)*(hero's attack + 1). The [[Artillery]] and [[Archery]] secondary skills increase this damage. The ballista acts at the end of every combat round, followed only by the [[First Aid Tent]], and can be controlled when a hero has learned any level of Artillery. Contrary to what its in-game statistics indicate, a ballista has unlimited shots (fixed in {{hota}}){{-wh}}. | A ballista is a missile weapon that, like ranged units, shoots projectiles toward enemy troops, but is unable to [[retaliation|retaliate]] against attacks.

In damage calculations, Ballista goes as level 5 unit, its [[AI Value]] is 600. For the Map-Editor, it is an [[artifact]] equipped in the War Machine 1 slot. Sometime when AI calculate that you have less army to survive for next run in the battle, and before Ballista to shot, you'll get a message | In damage calculations, Ballista goes as level 5 unit, its [[AI Value]] is 600.
