yeah thats how I arrange mine, snaking corridors, each straight is overlooked by a seige engine.

The real difficulty is getting the seige operators seperated enough from the enemy that they dont spook, yet close enough that the weapon still has some semblance of accuracy

(It doesnt in practice, they wont hit shit)

Transporting rock is definatly the primary use of a catapault, Im planning a mega-project gatehouse on the edge of my map, so I built a wall, channeled a ditch infront of it and spent 4 years throwing thousands of stone at it.

IMHO, catapult stones should produce a dust explosion like a cave-in. That would be bad ass.

here's a bit of info from the wiki:
catapults have a MINIMUM range of ~30 tiles
this sort of screws up a lot of the plans for defense because rarely do you get that much room in an entrance hall
