Gussebb Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'm in the mood for trying to model, texture, animate, a catapult. But before i start, i just wanna hear if it might be used in the mod? and if so, do you know which models were used in the time frame? and if you have any suggestions before starting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I have been looking on the internet and couldn't find any reference to a 500 -1000 siege engine except a ram... Wonder if they lost all their technologies during that period.If you find one tell me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzippy Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wonder if they lost all their technologies during that period.Thats correct. After roman imperium got downhill, the knowledge for siege engines was kinda lost in central europe...Interesting article, unfortunately in german : http://www.regionalgeschichte.net/bibliothek/glossar/alphabet/b/belagerungsmaschinen.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giotto Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 What about the hand trebuchet/ one man trebuchets used by Nikephoros II Phokas in 965? Just got that from quick searching but it could be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
