The wiki makes them sound very weak and not worth the effort.

Does anyone have experience that proves otherwise? How effective have they been for you?

[kaijyuu]

They're for getting rid of rocks.


And if they actually were to hit anything, my understanding is they're about as good as stone traps. Which is to say pathetic.

I think of them as a training device and stone stockpiling tool.

Unused corridor with the end channeled out to dump them right by the mason's.  Dwarf loads, fires, and the stone drops right by the mason's.

They only hit things on the z-level they are on.

[white_darkness]

Yep. Rock hits wall at the end of the corridor, and then falls straight down through the hole in the floor to right in front of the mason's workshop below.

They appear to be good for training up siege operator skill before switching the dwarf to ballistas. Ballistas seem to be better than catapults, but still pretty limited.
