I have noticed that when you build a group of catapults they can be very deadly. But when you upgrade them to heavy catapults they become extremely weak as a group. When a group of heavy catapults fire at a target the rocks that hit first destroy the other incoming ones. Which means your army of heavy catapults might as well be a just 1 catapult since they only 1 will be able to hit the target anyway. That 1 rock that hits fisrt will just destroy the other ones going towards it. So why even upgrade to the heavy catapults at all? Is this bug fixed in ROR?

You are right this is the case in AOE. The bug is fixed in ROR. Somewhere in this forum is a thread featuring some great work by Qwksnd. I thoroughly recommend investing the time finding the link and reading the web page.

Yes indeed it is fixed in ROR. Pls note that qwksnd is correct in that Cats/ Hcats both have huge damage area too ! The only advantage of Hcats is double hits points and one more range. But double hit points can be significant. However, a bunch of protected cats will trash everything in their path if there is nothing to hit back at them.
