    It's no masterpiece but I like how this one turned out for "Four Balls"

    Ikariam Wars = Talus - Sulfur, Talanium - Marble, Talopolis - Wine, Talusgrad - Crystal, Talusberg - Wine.

    For the Four who stood against many. You shall be remembered. {DK_Sparta vs Talus}

    That's actually pretty unique. Most designs (mine included) try to shoot the balls underneath rather than over.

    that was the first way I solved it too, but mine was no where near as clean as scattershot's

    I tried something similar but not quite so much of a windmill affect. I like this, much better than what I had and it works great.

    One minor change with the first balls placement and it's much faster and more efficient:
