    ~25 days build time with 10 level 9 barracks

    how can you not use the word long to describe that?
    Because once you have enough ballistas to start hitting barb cities with no losses the resources are easy to get. Then you just need to add more barracks than that to multiple towns and add in high attack heroes which are easy to have from all the xp you get from farming NPCs and it can happen a lot faster than you think.

    hm.. maybe its just another tough-talker on these boards.
    A lot of players have more then 10 barracks. If you had 16 barracks in 5 different citys with lvl 10 metal casting and a hero with over 150 att you could knock out a lot of ballista in just one hour . You are just using noob math to get to your conclusion of 25 days build time

    Well, to contradict your statement: it takes a very long time to get to the point where you can make Ballista that fast; so, all in all, 50k Ballista is a pretty large project, and shouldn't be underestimated.

    I was using more or less an average player mindset when listing the construction times.

    But you have not contradicted my statement,i was pointing out how fast ballistas can be made at that level.It does take a while to get to that level yes but it happens quicker then you think if you are an active player.Continue building archers

    I can attest to this. 4 days into server 9 and I'm building ballistas.

    you can start building ballistas, but at an accelerated rate up to the point where constructing them is feasible, thats the major upkeep that brings the debate.
