[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 3447313, member: 198"] True about the altitude thing, but it might still be fun to use ballistae. The only thing more fun than swarming an airship with giant undead mounts carrying enemy soldiers, is doing so with giant undead mounts carrying enemy soldiers firing ballistae :] Nice suggestions. Some details (like the fire seeds thing) aren't an option because of the levels of the attackers involved, but the general premise fits well with what I have in mind.
