It's more of a Line-of-Fire bug than anything.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

For ballistas, it kinda sorta makes sense, depending on the type of ballista.  But for catapults, yeah, they should be able to aim at and hit something on a different z-level.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

Catpults should be loadable with almost anything and fire in an arc. Perhaps give some targeting options?
