Things that definetly need to be able to be fired:

Your prisoners.

Your prisoners body parts.

Your prisoners corpses.

Burning shit.

[BrakArg]

We should be able to trow useless cats and other pets (Imagine a flying elephant in a cage that will deploy behind the enemy lines).

[CJN]

Cows to throw at silly human kings.

[Neonivek]

How about some ideas that involve more actual ammo >_>

Such as small rocks, or masses of spiked metalic balls?

Spikes, Chain and balls, Bags of flour laced with poison, Razor blades...

[Knigel]

Apparently, barrels don't break open even if they're thrown, but are items or creatures inside of them injured?

If not, until we have exploding barrels we can make do with dwarven drop troopers.

[thijser]

Well we could add some funny reactions for the catapults. Ever though about making ammunition increadibly hot?

[JohnieRWilkins]

Greek Fire. (Which needs another name; Armok's Piss sounds suitably badass.)

Yes.

I don't care what the OP is suggesting or whatever it is, I just want to throw Armok's Piss at elves. That's all I want from this game.

How about just being able to fire anything and everything more or less physically possible?

That would suit everyone and would be damn awesome.

This, though we would need more a realistic figure of projectile velocity. I think it would be something like the maximum velocity of the catapult arm (which varies by quality, and possibly type if Toady ever includes trebuchets) minus some amount based on the mass of the projectile.

On a different note, can pieces of slade obtained through mods be fired from a catapult?

[Jake]

... can pieces of slade obtained through mods be used fire in a catapult?

The word 'overkill' springs to mind...

[NightmareBros]

slade catapult ammo

Incoming meteor storm!

[Tyrius]

You do realise that this idea will basically create the Dwarf Fortress 'Bat-Winged-Loony Lobber' right?



The last thing many a dwarf will hear... will be "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE" *SPLAT*

Although, some alterations to the physics engine will be required because of the whole "breaking your fall" thing

Yesplzkthx

[NightS]

That can be THE WAY for the goblins to avoid the walls of a fortress...

It was actually inspired one of the Things Mr Welch is No Longer Allowed To Do In An RPG.
