Invisible Ballistas

[Lord O'Sirideain]

The first thing i spotted after firing the game up for the first time is that ballistas (mobile) are not visible until they aim at a target.
Also there is still no fix for automatic aiming/firing of ballistas yet. It worked in V1.3 of the Deluxe edition of SH2 but stopped working for V1.4 and V1.4.1.

I know nothing about them being invisible, but as far as I know, they intentionally made them so they don't fire automatically, so they wouldn't be overpowered.

Now I saw what you were talking about... One can see engineers and the wheels, but not the ballistae.

[Lord O'Sirideain]

yes, the wheels and engineers are visible but the main body of the ballista is invisible till it's aimed. and i loved the auto fire in v.1.3

[EaglePrince]

There was an update recently, maybe it has been fixed now? I don't have time to check it now.

Same. Ballistas are invisible, except their wheels and the engineers,

Manlets too here.

If only they had a forum, or something, in which they would tell us to report everything we notice. This way we could be noticing lots of stuff without them actually knowing about all of these easily solvable issues. I hope they wouldn't leave this game as it is without solving these problems.

also you can not put down moats

[Lord O'Sirideain]

this is very typical of firefly tbh.. wait years for a game that's promised to be here soon, only to find it's completely unfinished when it is eventually released. looks like i'll be sticking with the original disc copy for now.. what a waste of good money again FF!

[Lord O'Sirideain]

same happened with SH3

Just got to the capmaign mission where you attack Olaf. Yep, lots of wheels but no actual Ballista model until fired aha

those 2 games are not comparable, i playd stronghold 3 on its relese, stronghold 2 steam edition is in a much better state.

with stronghold 3 they tried some totally new systems, like the free wall building in any direction system. That does not worked out very well, maybe it would had a better release if they would had more time for stronghold 3.
