Catapults
« on: September 22, 2008, 02:09:52 pm »
I just had an insane idea, and need to know if it would work before I try it.

Can you load other things besides stone into catapults? For example, cats?



I really don't like catapults for the most part, but if I can fling my excess cats at invading goblins then I might go for one. I want to use my catapult to paint the landscape a cheerful red. And if it helps deal with the catsplosion then it can't be wrong, can it?

If it can't be done, can it be modded in?

Nope, AFAIK you cannot say what the catapult should hurl. The crew just takes the nearest stone

Sadly, I don't believe anything except stone can be put in them. I've never built one myself, but I've never heard of it being done. That would be fairly awesome if you could... Imagine adamantine spiked balls being launched from a catapult.

EDIT:
Also, I don't believe it can be modded in yet, either. Catapults aren't in the raws anywhere, as far as I know. Sorry. :(
