What kind of Siege Weapons [or Vehicles] would you like to see?

[Dondagora 832]

A relevant discussion with the recent announcements; What kind of siege weapons or vehicles do you want to see in-game?

 

I saw a fun idea, which would be a Guinecean Steam Tank.

 

Thoughts?

[Brigand 35]

Tunneling engines, hang gliders, battering ram, breaching/siege towers.

Always been a fan of Ballista. Nothing like using a giant crossbow from atop your keep walls to slow down the attackers trying to get in.

[Jestahr 16]

Battering rams make for interesting mechanics for both defenders and attackers.

 

Always liked them in Warhammer.

[Caenth 3,893]

Hot oil buckets that a Confessor can set on fire.

[vucar 520]

Cow catapult.

 

I don't think that needs any further explanation.

[FenrisDDevil 3,474]

arcing arrows

[Jah 6,879]

arcing arrows

 

+ Wildfire

 

[Destrin 3,076]

Cow catapult.

 

I don't think that needs any further explanation.

 

Cowtapult has my vote.

[Mercyfall 61]

[freeze 3,759]

Cow catapult.

 

I don't think that needs any further explanation.

 

only on EU servers

 

 

but ontopic:

I've always liked the DF warhulks... they were just a rare sight, because of their insane cost.

It's a world with magic... so why the custard not

I'm for properly done trebuchet,would love to see some of them smashing walls to a pulp.

[Lephys 697]

I know this is crazy, but what about a Voltron-esque siege golem? Different players would control different parts and have different powers bars.

[Dondagora 832]

I'd really like to see those siege towers, the ones you steer right up to the wall and just jump over it. Those seem like they could be fun.

[bahamutkaiser 2,377]

Actual flight for Fae. It would add an interesting layer of infiltration and projectile combat.

[miraluna 2,482]

Am I the only one that doesn't really like too many siege weapons/vehicles?  I prefer to fight with my character, so I am hoping these things are resource-heavy and hard-to-build and not just spammed all over the world.

 

That Forgemaster throwing a hammer through the wall was cool though   Also like Fae gliding over, Ranger sticky traps, or Guineceans tunneling under walls. 

[Mox 1,283]

Cow catapult that sounds so familiar, oh yes (Guild wars 2 have trebuchet that can launch a toxic cow)   

Maybe we should have trebuchet that knight, confessor, ranger or champion can fit in and then fly over to the keep.. maybe a little sound in your head ("Attack!")

 

I'd rather see some ancient to medieval siege engines.

Catapults and Trebuchets are not tanks.

They're not appropriate vessels for our crows either.

Because CF is a game, and 1 player could control a siege engine in SB, I'm fine with 1 player (instead of 20) controlling a siege engine from the outside.

But players should be vulnerable to anti-personnel attacks while we control those siege engines.

Not sure where in the info you read that siege engines were tanks or vessels. It does say "inside" but we are talking about siege engines here, an open frame with all the players riding in it visible most likely. Valid concern sure but, it clearly refers to them as mounts in the article. We can be killed off of our mounts and the mount killed, pretty sure that's already been established how mounts will work.

Aren't the Stoneborn siege weapons themselves?
