This is where you purchase siege equipment. Both officers and kingdoms buy from here.
Arbalest - 200 Gold
Fairly large moveable defense structures, that fire a line of powerful bolts directly forwards. Capable of destroying wooden structures, and ample for a defensive battle.
Catapult - 300 Gold
These large, castle destroyers on wheels are essential to almost any seige. Capable of firing large boulders, and other items that you may find, over great distances, no army is complete without a fair set of catapults at their back ranks.
Gunpowder Barrel - 500 Gold
A barrel of gunpowder, used to make 5 miniature bombs, or create large explosions all at once. Can be used as catapult ammo (not onager).
Siege Rams - 2 for 200 gold
Siege Rams are the chief equipment used to break open the walls of castles and dismatle towers. They must be driven by 10 to 15 men, and the more there are, the faster (until you breach 15). Rams are relatively easy to dismantle themselves, and are best used with the aid of siege towers and ladders. These are relatively qyuick to set up. They are less powerful than battering rams due to the head being made chiefly of strudy wood.
Ladders - 5 for 100 gold
Ladders are the basic form of all siege weapons. They were normally used for raids or as a way to stall and weaken an enemy on a wall or gate. They are high enough to reach the wall but not the top of a gate or a tower. These must be carried by atleast 6 men per ladder. Unlike other siege weapons, these are the fastest to set up and the fastest to reach the walls.
Onager - 2 for 275 gold
These are the lesser form of a catapult, they were cheaper and more cost iffencent due to being imported from the westerns. They can shoot rocks across long distances and can take out a wall with ease. Like any long ranged seige engine of this type, it is inaccurate againest troops
Siege Towers - 2 for 450 gold
These towers must be carried by six men from the front, using ropes to pull, and by ten or so men from the rear, to push. Unlike the ladder, it can't be knocked over by a kick or a spear tip. Once at the walls the attackers enter the bottom and climb up ladders, once at the top the men can wait for more men,or push on the 'gate' that has spikes on the end, to attach to the wall and to kill any foolish enough to stand underneath it. once the gate is down, the men charge foward to kill any men that get in their way.
Teir 2- Requires 130 fame and 80 Tactic points
Battering Rams - 2 for 500 gold
The sturdier, stronger, and quicker form of a siege ram. The head is metal and sharp. These take longer to put together, but are harder to dismatle and quicker to pry open a gate.
Bridge Layer- 1 for 500 gold
A form of advanced river crossing, this puts down a brigde which allows troops to cross without fear, it is the safest way to cross a river or stream, but is expensive and is not sold in bulk. As such it is rarly bought, and when it is, it is used only when needed
