Found something you might like....
Grand Historian link to engines of different periods, focusing on China for more in-depth discussions (but then, most of the Chinese weapons found their way into other cultures...)

That will be handy the next time my players ask me what it will take to build ballista.

My first impulse when I saw the topic title...

"Sure! Have a target in mind?"

The fact that you looked this up makes me very hopeful for Engineering Castles

Well, I hate to burst bubbles, but basically this "research" has nothing to do with work for TLG since I stopped working on that manuscript last year... and, I am not going to revisit it.

And that is our loss!

I would not say it is a loss. Engineering Castles has a different sort of need to express-- it is not a manual to war. Look for Bowbe or Sieg for that. I did what Steve asked. Nothing less, and nothing more.

Good link

And if you or Fiffergrund are planning in sieges in near future let me know so I can get out of the way.
