Salammbo Hints
How do I aim the ballista?
1 of 6: By now you've noticed that three parts of the ballista are adjustable. (That is, when you pass over them with the cursor, you get huge arrows and three gauges appear.)
2 of 6: Have you tried adjusting them to see what happens?
3 of 6: The one at the back raises or lowers the aim. The ones at the right and left ... well, you can guess.
4 of 6: Trial and error will get you there (with your infinite supply of arrows).
5 of 6: The three gauges should be set at about 3 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and 5 o'clock.
6 of 6: Don't worry about being exact. It's a big flag, and a hit in any part of it will bring the whole thing down.
