Siege Engines
« on: February 12, 2011, 02:45:17 pm »

Is it just me or are siege engines kind of useless? I've got legendary+ siege operators and iron tipped ballista arrows and even with goblins stuck in a 1 tile wide passage in front of the ballista it doesn't do much damage. Seems like the siege op is still too slow and can't shoot straight.

Seems like any other means of killing things is better than this....

IIRC siege engines were made weak after the combat changes in 31.xx, and they will be fixed once Toady gets around to the army arc.
