Ballista Arrows..
« on: February 26, 2008, 01:51:00 pm »

So, how many times have you wanted to shoot acid at your enemies?  Well, this is what I'm suggesting.  Let us tie things to ballista arrows, vials of acid, dwarven bombs if we ever get these, maybe corpses to create disease if we ever get to siege people.  Well used tactic, really.  The ability to tie a few elite dwarves to an arrow with spider silk and shoot them behind enemy lines would be epic winrar. IMO, at least.

Corpses, bombs and acid would probably be more likely to put in a catapult.

but i kinda like the idea.
