I'm sure many of you have thought about fantasy siege weapons smile.gif . I kind of role them together with thoughts of gnomes, dwarves, and a (hopefully) somewhat workable design to create a primitive machine-type weapon that might be used as a fantasy siege weapon. Not to forget how fun it would be to test them, the failures would make for great shows (I think smile.gif ).

Here's one I did a bit ago, hope it makes sense;

This is an 'anti dragon dwarven bucket launcher.' Spiked balls, hooked nets, jellyfish, etc. could be used. One, or maybe two dwarves, push the bar in a circle (lower platform), it then gets mounted on a wagon. Two other dwarves would aim the big base (lower platform). It's never been tested, but many dragons have laughed very hard at it. biggrin.gif

Feedback and ideas welcomed!

(note: This is just a General work for fun, not a Dev work. It's intended as a public work for all to enjoy, and get the imagination working. If it gets used in PW, cool, -I have no problems with that smile.gif ).
