Siege Weapons
Air Balloon
Rank: N/A
Type: Main/ Siege Weapon
Effect: A mainly stationary balloon capable of hovering up to 300 feet. Usually tethered down it can be used to see over the enemy wall and coordinate attacks. With this balloon weaknesses are easily assessed.
Special: N/A
Drawback: This balloon essentially stays within a limited range and cannot move very fast. Any attack directed at it would have to somehow be deflected by the pilot’s own means.
Description: The air balloon is made up of a lightly armored basket made to hold two people comfortably. On board is a radio to contact you allies on the bottom of the tether as well as a megaphone feature to address the enemy. Floating 300 feet above ground it is held down by four supporting ropes and four identical steel pikes that go four feet into the ground. All four ropes go through loops in the steel pikes and into on universal winch in the center. Once the operator up top decreases hot air content the man on he ground can reel them down neat and quickly. This way the balloon is ready for speedy deployment later. One board is also a miniature Ballista, only four feet in length it is bolted into the side of the basket and could be used for small attacks or marking where the larger artillery should aim for.
Limit: Weapons such as these are not really openly available to the open public. It’s mostly sold to villages or organizations as a whole. The obscene costs and large number needed to maintain it require that you have a “army” to use it in the first place. (Village Leaders, and Organization Leaders Only)
Cost: 50,000
Battering Ram, Piston Model
Rank: N/A
Type: Main, Siege Weapon
Effect: The ten users of the Ram pump chakra into the cast iron handles, in turn the seals let the ram intake air. The result is a piston shooting out a mere two feet at an incredible speed, with the additional force of running momentum and density it crumbles walls easily.
Special: N/A
Drawback: N/A
Description: Picture Since wood is easily replaceable the weapon it self is made up of a gigantic piston with an ornate Ram head at the very end, up to ten cast iron handles, and a series of tough rivets and hardware. On the battle field this ram would take a mere half hour to assemble around a piece of wood. The creator of the ever popular “Pressure Gauntlets” saw a market for his design on a much larger scale. Being bigger it could afford to be much more crude in design for a higher price. The people buying it would be none the wiser. The Ram, much like the gauntlet intakes air into a chamber at an almost instantaneous rate, pushing the chamber open and in turn moving the head of the Ram. At the rate the air fills the chamber the Ram possesses amazing power. Most walls would crumble after one critical blow, heavily fortified walls only have so much time before succumbing to the onslaught. Like the Gauntlet this weapon has a cool down time of four rounds.

Cost: 30,000
Trebuchet
Rank: N/A
Type: Main/ Siege Weapon
Effect: A trebuchet is a siege engine employed to either to smash masonry walls or to throw projectiles over them. It is sometimes called a "counterweight trebuchet" in order to distinguish it from an earlier weapon that has come to be called the "traction trebuchet." Trebuchets were far more accurate than other catapults. The trebuchet could launch projectiles a distance of over half a mile.
Special: “Heavy stuff to throw at people”
Drawback: N/A
Description: Picture The Trebuchet is a real amazing work of physics. By using counter weight you can toss insane projectiles at insane distances. In order to assist this the counter weight of this particular model is adjusted quickly and easily with a “weight rack” The heavy plates are mounted on the catapult it self and are simply “pushed” on to the counter weight mechanism. All plates are a uniform 100 pounds, a grand total on one thousand pounds. Depending on what kind of distance and power you want you adjust the plates. The massive weight gives a max distance of two miles.
Limit: Weapons such as these are not really openly available to the open public. It’s mostly sold to villages or organizations as a whole. The obscene costs and large number needed to maintain it require that you have a “army” to use it in the first place. (Village Leaders, and Organization Leaders Only)
Cost: 50,000
Ballista
Rank: N/A
Type: Main, Siege Weapon
Effect: Out of all projectile launchers this one is most accurate. “Super sized” for devastating blows to fortifications this is ideal for sniping weak points of a wall. The ballista uses many typed of ammunition called “bolts” They are long usually nine feet long in fact with a 6 inch circumference.
Special: “Bolt ammunition”
Drawback: As a siege weapon is often kept stationary and none to easy to load quickly.
Description: Picture
A crossbow works by tension in a strong bow stave. Most ballista’s used torsion in two lengths of durable latex. A strong wooden frame carried the two skeins vertically, with the dart resting in a groove in the horizontal stock of the weapon. Two horizontal wooden arms pass through each skein and are linked by a strong bowstring. As the arms are pulled back, the rope is twisted to become a powerful spring. Like a large crossbow, the bowstring is pulled back by a winch and retained by a rotating trigger or nut.
Limit: Weapons such as these are not really openly available to the open public. It’s mostly sold to villages or organizations as a whole. The obscene costs and large number needed to maintain it require that you have a “army” to use it in the first place. (Village Leaders, and Organization Leaders Only)
Cost: 30,00 yen
