No, but a catapult is different. Most troops use hand or weapon combat anyways, the only ones that don't are archers and balloons. Plus, a catapult can't exactly move, and it isn't a troop. It's a weapon. It would definitely be a defense better than something you attack with.
And the point that it's still ruled out in the stickies stands.

I guess your game is different than mine cause I don't have to rearm my archers balloons or minions

Where did I say minions? WHo would have to rearm minions? They spit acid out.. That's not something you'd rearm. I don't have to either, Balloons probably have a lot of bombs in the basket that carries them, and archers have little satchel type thingies that carry their bows. How would the catapult get what it needs to fling? It doesn't have arms, or a mind.

how did that get them from Castle to Castle if they can't move? you place them in one spot when attacking someone. I understand u don't know much about medieval times but they used them for attacking.....so I'm sure they can change the name so you don't get sticky.... Lol

Most catapults had wheels or were carried on something that had wheels so it could move. Wouldn't it be powerless once all of the buildings in it's ring are destroyed? I just feel like this is useless as a troop and would be better at being a defense rather than a troop. STILL ruled out though. Gotta read the stickies bro.

I agree with you.

if it was just to stand still it would be named "Ranged golem" or "Mortar".

Actually, it isn't ruled out. And there's no need to argue over realistic features... After all, it's only CoC

And seeing as how we already have a mortar, that is probably why the catapult is ruled out.

the catapult starts out with one projectile and two at level 5 three at level 10...at level 5 it gets an ability to have 4 archers one at each corner for protection with 10% of the damage of the catapult and progress accordingly. targets are random

The stats on this sort of make it seem like pre-nerfed hero (due to its high number of levels, and insane DPS).

But seeing as it has a housing space, I assume it's a troop.

Its DPS is far too high: a lvl 1 catapult has more damage than a maxed PEKKA, which perhaps makes it overpowered.

Also, seeing as (I assume) it is ranged (being a "catapult"), the health doesn't really justify its damage.

Out of reducing DPS and health, I would go for reducing DPS because of the strength of golems nowadays.

Also, upon reading the thread discussion, how would you re-arm it? I don't exactly like the concept of re-arming a troop mid-battle, as it is a troop: maybe change the name and visual design of the troop so it doesn't have to be re-armed.

ALSO. This isn't a ruled out idea.
