Bi-Annual, Side-by-Side Unit Examination of Blessed Field Trebuchets

Gimblestump

Unit statistics suggest Blessed Field Trebuchets are underperforming compared to other stone thrower type units:


Other Throwers
- Screaming Skull Catapults: 6 MD
- Goblin Rock Lobbas: 6 MD
- Standard Field Trebuchet: 6 MD


The Atrocity
- Blessed Field Trebuchet: 5 MD

This otherwise spectacular piece of woodwork is held back by a glaring flaw. I propose a +1 MD buff to the Blessed Field Trebuchet raise it to the level of its non-blessed sister.

Agreed, but I'd also propose a +900 cost increase to prevent it from suddenly becoming overused after this massive 20% MD buff.

Can we please do some tests first to confirm how much quicker they route vs peasant mobs, with and without chevrons? It’s the only way to know for sure how this would impact the game.

I think we should wait till Warhammer 3 to implement such major changes.

Them trebuchets also got 8 AP in melee though. The others in comparison got only 3. No wonder its MD is lower to compensate for this extremely delicate balancing situation.

No wonder my light cav charging the blessed T's always loses. Need to re-evaluate my strategy with this new info in mind

I've had a mod that fixes this atrocious stat issue for well over two years. I keep it updated. It's called #Blessed Field Trebuchet [Stat Parity]

In ze Lady's name!

I'm more disappointed at Trebuchet for not being able to fire accurately and even cause huge friendly fire against my knights and here you are joke about send them to melee against other artillery crew?
