[40a] Siege operators don't get credit for projectile kills.

Siege operators don't get credit for kills caused by projectiles they fire.  Dunno if this is intentional. :)

...

I didn't know kills were counted in fortress mode anyway...

They are not soldiers so their kills probably don't count due to that.

Anywho... Why would it matter?

Well, it would matter. It is, after all, they who killed the guy out there, and the ballista is a weapon like any other, it's just immobile. I think that kind of kill should get another line for the legends, not struck down or shot and killed. Maybe like "<so-and-so the victim> was killed by the <siege ammo name> launched by <so-and-so the killer>"?

I enjoy reading the kill lists of some of my most experienced soldiers. :) They can truly become legendary.

Siege Operators donīt kill enemies.

Ballista Arrows do it :D

The question now is: should the SiegeOp get 'credit' for a ballista-in-the-bedroom mandate cancellation?

In my oppinion, they should learn to check the target area before pulling the trigger. I find it slightly bizarre that a siege operator will happily fire away even if her child is standing right in front of the ballista.

I plan to let my nobles tantrum in their own locked rooms and die of starvation. Much more fun.
