Battery-tower

Siege Engine
Ballista
The Battery Tower is designed to be wheeled close to the defender's walls, protecting the troops inside. Once flush against the wall, the attackers inside the tower can smash the walls with pickaxes, bore holes and tear at the blocks supporting the wall, weakening it considerably. In this advanced torsion-powered Siege Weapon, a vast bundle of bowstrings are drawn back with winches, storing the energy to fire the projectiles. The Ballista throws heavy bolts over the walls, destroying buildings on the other side.
