square keg "dice" with parachutes to deliver alcohol! XDperhaps they can use it as a delievery system?
For real, they could have easily thrown a 90kg projectile over 300 meters with that superior siege weaponI thought they were gonna try and improve it and end up with a trebuchet.
As an aside, by now we know that alcohol slime is clearly intelligent, so in their world, this is perhaps a sign that imbibing in alcohol regularly rises your INT or… maybe just alcohol produced from the village farm produce that gives this effect.![]()
MVP is back![]()
Alcohol Slime in the next chapter.Alcohol slime is the best girl
technically what they made IS a trebuchet. A trebuchet uses leverage like a weird seesaw while a catapult (The Romans called them onagers) uses tension/torsion like a mouse trap with a spoon attached to the metal bar that hits the mouse.I thought they were gonna try and improve it and end up with a trebuchet.

only for very fucking sturdy objectsperhaps they can use it as a delievery system?
Trebuchets are still catapults though so there is nothing wrong with what was said in the chaptertechnically what they made IS a trebuchet. A trebuchet uses leverage like a weird seesaw while a catapult (The Romans called them onagers) uses tension/torsion like a mouse trap with a spoon attached to the metal bar that hits the mouse.
The mountain elves will come up with more random stuff. Very mundane stuff too that will freak out lots of people in the future.This (catapult: idea, built, testing, using??) might be the most random thing so far in the series
Correct up to here. A trebuchet is a specific version of the catapult, nothing more, nothing less. Onagers and mangonels are also types of catapult, with mangonels also being referred to as "traction trebuchets", as manpower was used to pull the arm to position and give it power versus the counterweight-power of other designs. "Catapult" is a generic class, not a specific type of siege engine. What differentiates a trebuchet from any other type of catapult is that the arm rotates with a sling attached to throw the payload.technically what they made IS a trebuchet.
