Description
Catapult
A fearsome siege weapon, the terror of every fortress wall.
¶ How It Works
First, load one of the 4 types of ammunition into the weapon, then aim and fire. To do more than simply launch the projectile and actually hit your target, however, you must calibrate the weapon properly by treating it as the origin point and adjusting it along the X and Y axes.
The area of effect, damage, and even spread vary greatly depending on the projectile. This weapon is indispensable for besieging or defending fortress walls, but it has little use in open combat.
The catapult and its projectiles can be crafted at the "Blacksmith's Workbench" from various materials.
