NoBanna... if I place one down before the battle on one side of the castle, raiders are going to plant one down somewher else, oriented in the correct direction, so they can't reach me and I can reach them. Heres a diagram of how it could work:

If the defenders place down their balistas before the battle, they won't be oriented in the correct dirrection because the raiders can simply place their ballista perpindicular to theirs. The only way for the defenders to hit the attackers with the balista, is to rotate theirs, which will take time in which the raiders will have shot the defenders to death because ballistas were slow to move. Also, mithril isn't THAT hard to get... if I could get mithril from scratch in 30 minutes, a well established castle could CERTAINLY get it with ease. Have you ever heard of a catamaran? Doesn't take that much effort honestly...
