The catapult.

"The catapult is a big, heavy and devastating machine which launches flaming boulders at the enemy! The boulder lodges itself into the ground where it creates a small area of flames which damages enemy troops over a small amount of time."
I was thinking of having this defence be a 4x4 area instead of the common 3x3 which most defences share. Unlocking at TH9 or 10 and only having one of them, this defence has a large amount of health, medium initial damage, small DoT and a slow rate of fire (maybe that of a mortar or even slower?) The boulder itself could be 2x2 and creates flames around the boulder in a 4x4 fashion. I was thinking of having maybe a 14 tile range for this defence but a 5-6 tile blind spot.
These are some rough stats for level 1 which of course will be tweaked and changed if the idea is brought in.

Catapult (Level 1)
Damage per second: 6
Damage over time: 100 (5 seconds)
Hitpoints: 2000/2000
Range: 6-14
Damage type: Area Splash/Damage over Time
Targets. Ground
Favourite target: Any

I hope you like the idea and any changes, critisim or feedback is always appreciated:D

I like it, but I think that the initial impact of a rock smashing into you should be at least equal to the value of the Damage over Time dealt.

Yeah,, like I said the stats are debatable and are obviously going to be change, I just thought that these were some rough stats. I didn't want the initial damage to be too high and have the building be overpowered. Also when you think about how long it takes to shoot, the initial damage won't be too far off the DoT.

Kind of reminds me of the game Settlers. :rolleyes:

This defense would be an interesting addition.

Haha, thanks I thought it would be pretty cool since there isn't any DoT buildings yet.
