Catapult

Catapults are the "non plus ultra" in terms of crashing castles and bodies. They are entirely built up of wood and need rock items to be used. The catapult fires three small rocks at a time and is very deadly. It is (so far) the largest of the constructions in the game and is built by a builder. To build it just place the pieces in a 4 x 3 (horizontal x vertical) square and when the catapult is finished it is turned the right way.

A catapult can be destroyed not only by melee weapons but also with arrows and catapult projectiles. A damaged catapult slowly regenerates it's health.

To shoot, press and hold the [E]-key. The longer you hold the further you shoot. The shots are aimed with mouse. Release the key to shoot.

Tips

• The catapult fires three small rocks at a time and can be very deadly. A well placed, fortified catapult can keep the enemies at bay even when outnumbered.
• Fired rocks will destroy ladders instantly, making catapults an effective counter against sky bridges.
• Press [F] to board a catapult, then have another team member launch you by holding [E]. For maximum distance, do not perform any actions after launch.
