Turns out that the EXE file I had and believed to be 3.8, is in reality just one
more copy of 3.7.
Is there any URl for the download of 3.8 alpha? I know that the development of
3.8 had been plaed back into the body of 3.7, but hope that someone still has a
64bit version of the 3.8 executable.
Up to now I was not been able to resilve the error problem with 3.7, and my head
is smoking. :-(

Fffiuu.... I truly had not been aware of the tremendous size of those
things! Learned something. ;-)

Yes, it is amazing. Those ballistae came in all different sizes. But there were
not only those XXL sizes as depicted here, there were also the smaller sizes
made to target humans.
And beside ballistae, there were also cheiroballistrae and scorpions especially
to target enemy soldiers.
All these artilleries were able to load stones, arrows, and special ammunition
like the glowing coal loaded fire arrow, or the harpax for naval combat.

Weird. Maybe someone else running a 3.7 Win version can try to render it and
see what they get.

It's true that the Romans of the time where thinking big.
That ballista was made to take out the opponents engines, medium
fortifications, ships and scatter troops.
Just imagine keeping your formation when 75 Kg balls of rock are flying
at you and bouncing around...
