I may just have missed a major part of earlier discussion on this, but I did some searching and couldn't find the answer... my one and only Champion is lugging around an (iron long sword). I thought dwarves were restricted to short swords.

Also, does the quality of the siege engine pieces affect accuracy? I mean, are ballistae(?) or catapults made of exceptional parts more accurate? My Legendary operators throw so much stone so fast, they use the rock piles up in a matter of minutes, yet their shots go all over the place. Can they even see the enemy milling at the edge of the map?

Dwarves wield long swords two handed-he shouldnt be able to have a shield.

Siege engines are wholly worthless.

I find them quite useful.

Just remember that they have a narrow arc in which the stones will fly, and the distance is judged based on the closest enemy (i think) and not necessarily on the closest on within the firing arc. Thats what it seems to me at least.

I dig moats outside to funnel them all onto the road coming in, which is directly in front of 2 catapults and a balista run by legendary operators.  By the time they get close enough to scare the operators away, ive killed a third of the invasion.

When I get another skilled operator I will add another balista for more death.  They are far better than a catapult, which squishes a couple at an impact site, rather than just making a path of blood through the ranks.

I'm fairly certain that the quality of the siege weapon parts have an effect on the accuracy.
