Mortar

Mortar is one of the several different types of armoury items. This building costs 5 BP.
__TOC__
== Description ==
The mortar is good for both offense and defense (Planetary Campaign description).
* Fires rockets for 1 ammo vs. strucutres
* Fires free grenades vs. crowds
* Long-range and fires over walls
* Vulnerable dead zone close-up
Launches rockets suitable for eliminating groups of insects (akin to the Grenades upgrade) or damaging towers and hives. Shots aimed at groups are unlimited, while shots targeting buildings consume 1 ammo per shot. The mortar maintains a minimal firing range but can shoot through walls.
== Usage ==
The mortar's ammo consumption and meager damage output make it a suboptimal choice. It prioritizes buildings, potentially wasting ammo, yet is unlikely to destroy a hive. Mortars can serve as crowd control devices with strategic positioning, devoid of building targeting.
