Siege & the Trebuchet
A rideable siege engine that changes the shape of a battlefield. Place it, aim it, and loose a boulder big enough to leave a crater that smokes long after the dust settles.
Two ways to move it
Once placed, the trebuchet is yours to maneuver:
- Ride it — climb aboard for a locked, first-person view and steer it like a war-wagon.
- Push it — step off and shove it forward on foot, rotating it into the perfect line.
Firing
Riding the engine, you raise and lower the throw to find your range — the HUD shows your aim and the distance it'll carry. Wind it up to reload, then loose. The boulder arcs out and lands with a crash, carving a smoking crater that lingers and shattering everything caught inside the blast.
It can break
The trebuchet isn't an invincible turret — it's a vehicle with its own health, and it can be destroyed out from under you.
More to come
Siege ladders, drawbridges, castle doors and a cannon are on the roadmap as the siege line grows.
