Hail and well met, medieval fans🏰
In today's post, we want to introduce to you another siege machine that you will have the opportunity to build and test in battle.
We are talking about the Onager, also known as the Mangonel.
Don't be fooled by its small size. Its historical projectile accuracy was amazing, with a 30 kg stone flying up to 1100 meters, while a 50 kg one could reach 450 meters💥.
This type of machine was incredibly popular and significant in Roman armies, especially during the time of Julius Caesar, where the number allocated to each army unit continued to increase.
Continuously improved and modernized, it survived into the medieval era, where it was used, among others, by the Crusaders.
In the game, the Onager will launch a volley of projectiles, and your task will be, of course, to destroy the enemy fortifications💣
And this is just one of the machines you will build step by step and operate to attack various outposts!
