Trebuchet

When besieging an enemy settlement, the first and greatest obstacle to overcome are its defences. Trebuchets launch heavy projectiles over long distances to batter down walls and barriers.

A heavy counterweight is raised to lower a beam, and the projectiles are loaded onto the beam’s sling.

A switch drops the counterweight, launching the projectiles; the impact is devastating but inaccurate, so trebuchets are best used against immobile targets such as walls rather than moving enemy troops.
