3 That is the point of artillery. Punishing mistakes is the only way Impaler can kill anything which can move 1 elmo/second. 3 That is the point of artillery. Punishing mistakes is the only way Impaler can kill anything which can move 1 elmo/second.

7 A lot of players spam defense in lobpots, so impaler hurts them a lot more than someone with units. 7 A lot of players spam defense in lobpots, so impaler hurts them a lot more than someone with units.
8 I would argue that this is the point, so people spamming defense at the cost of an army is punished for it. 8 I would argue that this is the point, so people spamming defense at the cost of an army is punished for it.

13 Only because 1-3v1-3 does not have the absurd amount of defense noobs build in every team game. If people stopped making 3K in aspis-stinger-caretaker-lotus fortresses then impaler's usecase also decreases. 13 Only because 1-3v1-3 does not have the absurd amount of defense noobs build in every team game.

19 A lot of people want to make large fortresses where they can feel safe. Impaler shatters this delusion. Sadly, the biggest perpetrators of defense spam are the most resistant to learning to use mobile units.... 19 A lot of people want to make large fortresses where they can feel safe.

22 TLDR: Impaler is a well-designed unit with a clear target and clear downsides. It does not need significant changes. Stop to fire and stockpiling are interesting concepts. Nerfing Impaler's porc-busting by making each shot cost metal is a terrible idea however. 22 TLDR: Impaler is a well-designed unit with a clear target and clear downsides. It does not need significant changes. Stop to fire and stockpiling are interesting concepts. Modern artillery is capable of burst fire before moving on. Should Impaler follow these current trends?
