She's a beauty!
But can it launch 90kg projectiles over 900 metres? I think not.
It's 300 meters in the meme

I accidentally wrote 30kg over 900 metres then forgot to also change the 900. XD
perfect
Bombard them all! Bombard them with everything we have! Rocks, chairs,tables, pieces of wood, The Rock, cheese, pigs, cows, raisins, wolfs, Sauron, blankets, beds, the four hobbits, forget that! Throw them the Fellowship, the whole Shire(the hobbits not the homes)! Hobbit houses, eagles, trolls, Voldmort, Jeff and lastly John Cena!
And then Gandalf the Grey, and Gandalf the White, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight...
Throw them with Team 10! 2 birds in one stone :D
I love mangonels. If another faction gets an onager then we've got all the great siege weapons.
Does Rohan get the onager?
I believe Mordor's catapult is an onager (a catapult with a "spoon" for shooting, as opposed to mangonel's sling).
An onager is more like a ballista that shoots rocks instead of arrows. Trebuchets have slings, and catapults have scoops.
Any source? I thought that onagers and mangonels were types of catapults and a ballista that shoots rocks is still a ballista. Also, the distinction between trebuchets and catapults is that they have entirely different mechanisms, not the slings/scoops.
En.wikipedia.org(weapon)
The onager was kind of like a catapult that uses the mechanisms of a ballista, that being twisted rope to generate tension. The closest analog within BFME2 is the dwarves' fortress cannon, but only if you're sort of imagining how it ought to work, since the animations within the actual game leave a lot to be desired.
You're correct about the trebuchet. I guess slings were just more popular with them. Trebuchets were also more for getting up and over the walls, whereas Mangonels were designed to destroy the walls themselves. Interestingly enough, they were one of the last widely-used catapult designs before the advent of gunpowder.
I love this crap.
Awesome!
I remember this gem from the dwarf holds even some quotes :
Its mangonel not catapult. -Oww those memories-
My favourite was always this: "See that rabbit, think I can hit it?"
Yeah that was the best one :D
Love it! Makes me look more eagerly forward to the next release!
