Hwacha - IMPLEMENTED

The ancient Chinese made a machine that shoots 100 arrows at once. It was widely used but became forgotten, it didn't have an english name either.
Can someone give it a name and put it in the game.
The machine should have a splash damage on at least 9 squares, I think 25 should do...

holy crap, that sounds OP. 9 splash damage? and 25 damage? wow.
arrows in this game typically do like 5-7 damage. Not 25. Thats like a catapult

Fire arrows were rockets that were invented in China. Launcher should have really many actions but really bad accuracy.
Stats
Cost 6
Power 6
Hp 10
Armour 0/6
Actions 10
Speed 2
Accuracy: can miss by even three tiles.
Chance to hit: to targeted tile 35%, to miss by one tile 35%, to miss by two tiles 20%, to miss by three tiles 10%

So the Hwacha as far as i know was a Korean rocket / arrow launcher that could shoot 50ish rocket propelled arrow at once at once.
The stats could be like
Cost 5-6
Hp 25
Attack 30
Range 7-8
Armor 1-2
Pierce Armor 3
Speed 3-4
Sight 6-7
Action 2
Spell Resistance 40%
Although it would be not very accurate
What do you think?

Cool, maybe it could be a siege weapon that can shoot multiple, non-accurate shots in one turn? Like a slinger on steroids?

Now that i think about it i should it have a large amount of actions with little damage to represent a single fire arrow
or should it be a high damage and less actions to represent a barrage?

I think it should have couple of attacks paired with a spell that is called barrage which does lots of area damage / fire starting
It should have a good COOLdown

I like that idea too, it seem pretty reasonable

Wow sounds cool you can take out huge armies of weak infantry with this.
So high cost 8
Medium hp 20
Weak attack with a lot of area damage 5 for 2 attacks in one turn and 3 or 4 for 4 attacks in a turn
Medium range 6
Low armor 1
Medium pierce armor 3
Low speed 1
2 or 3 actions in a turn
And it would be able to set things on fire (this might make it to strong because of the 3 burning effects)

I don't know if it should set things on fire. These were more like rockets I thought? From gunpowder? An explosion of that type typically wouldn't start significant fires I don't think.
Although I like the huge area damage + multiple attacks

Just keep action count to like below 5 or I will hate it

I would imagine that the Hwacha would require the gunpowder tech and can only be made in castles

So you guys are thinking something like:
cost - 7
Hp - 20
attack - 3 with splash
range - 6
armor 1
pierce armor - 3
speed - 1
actions - 4
If I'm wrong or left something out just edit.

Well... the art for this is proving to be more difficult than I thought.
COOLguy, can I get the art for the catapult? It should be easier to start from something that doesn't look like dog vomit.

Ah very cool. I never heard of this weapon before. But after googling, I do recognise it..maybe from a dream lol
Anyway, I like the stats. Except I think:
Movement should be 2.
HP should be low.
Definitely should be buildable in castles, gunpowder tech. 5 turns.
Im thinking either mass splash idea, or multi (like gatling tower) inaccurate shots. Both are good.

The image is a little blurry, I can't really make out what the box thing is exactly. Maybe try using less colors, and more solid colors, with outlines to make the siege weapon look a bit more sharp.
