== Overview ==
* The Palintonon is a slow-moving unit that can be unpacked to gain an extremely long-range, high damage attack. Once unpacked, it is able to launch stone projectiles at enemy units and buildings.
* It is trained at the Fortress and becomes available during the Golden Age.
* It has a minimum attack range of 17, so it is best to defend this area and prevent enemy units from entering it.
== Tips==
The Palintonon has the longest attack range in the game. However, it's attack range is greater than its sight range; to utilize the full potential of the Palintonon's massive attack radius, units must be used to provide line of sight beyond the Palintonon's sight range.
== Special Abilities==
* Pack: Packs the Palintonon into a mobile unit. However, It can’t attack in this mode.
* Unpack: Unpacks the Palintonon into a stationary artillery so that it can make use of its attack.

==History==
The Palintonon was a variation of the ballista that threw large stone balls on top of structures like a mortar instead of throwing projectiles directly at it. These artillery pieces had a range of 150m. with stone balls the weight of 27kg. requiring walls to be 5m. thick to withstand the impact. They were not treated a anti-personel artillery because of the target being able to move unlike a structure.
