so your saying to take hundreds of hours building up a ridiculously sized army just so you can attack a high level NPC city (which will make you lose most of that army) and get a medal. Then rinse and repeat.

That is no fun. this being a GAME it is supposed to be fun for players. I can understand if they made it so that you cant just blast in with balista and kill everything. But the whole point of building balista is because they have more range than archers/archer towers. Making them move forward during combat is not only a bad update but 100% un realistic.

(waiting for the response about it being a game and therefor does not need to be realistic)
