Since this plugin replaces a single unit there isn't a whole lot to say about it other than the fact that it's a really fun unit, especially on large team maps.

Soma created a great looking and fun unit as part of his great Grilling Grounds map, and Baak extracted it, and as he does so well; tweaked and tested and retested and tested again (x 100) and polished it to make it about as near perfect as a Myth II unit can be.

Translation: A lot of time and effort has gone into making this unit very playable, and the result is a very well balanced, fun addition to just about any game. Ok, that's not quite true - this unit doesn't work well on maps that have low ceilings (underground or indoor maps) because to get the extreme distance the trebs are capable of, the payload has to arc WAY up in the air. Ceilings get in the way. But that's a function of Myth physics not a problem with the unit.

mmm Trebs...

drools some more

Trebuchets are long range killers that are extremely accurate (if you're good at estimating). They are incredibly fun to use to blow up large numbers of enemy (or friendly if the mood takes you) units.

However games with trebs too often turn into simple trebuchet battles and melee units have serious difficulty attacking them. In my opinion they also need to be balanced better with less health and by inflicting less damage.

Worth the download.
