Siege Engines
"Slowly but surely, we are taking over..."Besieging a city is a hard, dirty job. Without the proper technology, our soldiers are left to their bravery and skilful use of siege ladders to overcome the walls of target settlements. Siege towers are therefore a godsend - a great engineering feat, sometimes six storeys in height, in order to overcome high defensive walls. We also use battering rams to persuade stubborn city gates to open up and welcome their new masters. To prevent losses from flaming arrows and boiling oil, we use wet cow skins, fixed to the engine's frame. Inside them, men equipped with water hoses made of pickled cow intestines put out any fires that break out.
