[quote]Then why do other artillery have to deploy that are not as safe to use? Emissary, Bulkhead and Tremor all must be closer to the front.[/quote]

Because those units needed to be weaker, and since they are close to the front, having to deploy is a meaningful weakness for them. I don't think having to deploy would be a meaningful weakness for Impaler in any situation other than Impaler mirror wars.

It is a similar reason to why Bertha does not need energy to fire while Cerberus does. Bertha is built so far behind the front lines, and so much closer to where your economy is, that it simply would not have a meaningful effect on the game to give Bertha that requirement.

I don't think an Impaler that has to deploy similarly to Tremor or Bulkhead is going to be meaningfully weaker to any of these things.

I didn't say 1v1, I said smaller than large teams. Also with a unit like Impaler the fact that it is not built often in 1v1 does not mean it is weak or that its existence in a non-owled state does not affect the game. Building a bunch of porc against rover in 1v1 is potentially not a good idea because Impaler exists, so people don't build the porc, so there isn't a good reason to actually build Impaler.
