So both balistas and catapults are exclusively for bombarding enemy towns?
I remember that balistas were used against enemy troops and catapults against enemy towns...

Have to agree, I think they should have a somekind of support capability (something like the one I talked about in other thread with the archers... but in this case it would be much more... "accurated" )

Indeed, the names are misleading for heroes fans. It is the same unit here, only upgraded. The capacities are strictly those of the heroes pc catapults = bombarding only.

Great to know... thanks for the info Fabrice. But... I already think Balistas should have a support capability...

How to divide units between slots (say, didvide 100 skeletons in two parts)? Is it possible?

[arturchix]

Click on 100 and the rest is simple.

How to bombard a city? Do I have to put the catapults as the first stack?
And what is with those 2 rows of 4 buttons in the right side of the bombard window (Recruitment, Defense, Magical and Other)?

[arturchix]

You have to siege the town and only then you can bombard it. The bombard option will appear automatically. BTW, in the final version you'll need to have hostile relations with the player you wish to attack - you can send diplomats to either increase or decrease relations. The final stages are war or alliance - as I understand, right now we can establish alliances by skipping these steps.

What four buttons?
