Siege Factory

But be aware that it's REALLY ineffective, compared to Siege and Ranged Infantry.

It is? I'm a beginner, but it seems rather nice with weakes enemy first in combo with towers/arbelists on strongest enemy priority

Tier 1 Ballistae are good, in the early game, but T2 cost WAY too much resources and space for what they do. For example, 10 T2 Ballistae are less effective than 3 Flamers, despite costing 7 times as much Gold, 5x as much Stone, 4x as much Iron, and being immobile. They need a BIG buff.

I have big problems "activating" the siege factory. It doesn't show. The keeps need a siege factory to upgrade but it isn't in any build menus or in any workshops. Where and when will it show up?

I had many runs last year but when I rejoined the game a few days ago, the siege factory never seems to be available...

Grand ballista is still ineffective for cost only use them if you are already rich+have ranger+siege units ready.So they are only support units.

For order catapult is always better than a grand ballista,

You need refined workshop and I think you need to complete at least 3 or 4 research projects there.

(Treasury,tier 3 houses,tier 3 towers and tier 3 walls are always useful.
Once eco is strong or bottlenecked by non gold get advanced farms and quarries.)

So once you done with a few research there you can research siege factory there and once that done you can build a siege factory but it is very expensive including in population cost.

Siege factory restores armor in its grey zone.

Flamers can be built by default.

Impaler needs to be researched and order only catapults too.

Grand below needs research too but it is very underpowered,likely worth half a flamer.......

And Grand ballista needs research too.
