Re: Siege Ballista and hvy variant
How about seige ballista would need. To be set uplile transfomrs to a stationary ballista they would act like seige tanks from starcraft(not starwars nor star trek no offense)

Re: Siege Ballista and hvy variant
Or maybe make it to a tech where in ballista have 1action/turn and seige mode will have 2action/turn

Re: Siege Ballista and hvy variant
Too similar in look to another unit.
@SirPat idea to use it for transformed state is better.
Why not use both?
We could add research to allow ballista additional transformation - siege mode, where attack deals melee damage and has bonus vs buildings and siege at the cost of no splash damage and only one attack. Definitely not increased damage.
It would be weak with it's this range, but that's already much to give it possibility to damage normally resistant things.

Re: Siege Ballista and hvy variant
I don't think balistia is able to overcome armor... And is too easily counter able by all other siege...
This change stance idea isn't bad, but I think the balista seems too weak as opposed to other sieges.
Hwacha Ribolt is a better choice in nigh all other cases..
More dmg, more range (Starts at catapult rng) more spd, and larger AoE.

Re: Siege Ballista and hvy variant
Yeah Endru, giving ballista seige mode would make it better like at original mode it would be an AoE Anti-Infantry while Seige mode would be a Longer ranged No splash dmg Anti-building "Sniper like" Seige Weapon This Idea is really great 
Edit:
I was thinking of making transformation into some kind of heavy ballista on a stand. my idea was like you would set up ballista's as a defensive anti personnel weapon but I feel like this would be a different unit/tech if you guys feel like it but if you guys were thinking the same then hehe
Original seige mode idea I imagine this like you would be raising the ballista's aim higher like there would be somekind of wood with rope at the back pulling the ballista back to make the front higher
