This page currently states ''Siege engines can be made to face any cardinal direction, '''but they cannot be moved after placement'''''. Being that Ballistas can be rotated to any cardinal direction I feel this is slightly misleading. Maybe if the two sentences were separated so it doesn't imply that Ballistas cannot be rotated without deconstructing them. Or is it just me? --[[User:Sveden|Sveden]] 16:54, 21 September 2011 (UTC) | This page currently states ''Siege engines can be made to face any cardinal direction, '''but they cannot be moved after placement'''''.

Simple way to stop your operators from cutting and running when the enemies approach within 10 tiles. Place hatches across the corridor 11 tiles from your weapons, set to open when the training range drawbridges drop. Or when pressure plates are tripped by ambushers. The enemies can't get to them, but the siege engines far out range the distance. | Simple way to stop your operators from cutting and running when the enemies approach within 10 tiles.

I was looking for the code for the ballista as I wanted to create a cannon that would take up a 1X2 space and shoot, well, cannon balls. It would be built of metal cannon parts, so as to balance it with the wooden seige weapons. Does anyone know where I can find the base code for the ballista? I cannot find it in the raws. | I was looking for the code for the ballista as I wanted to create a cannon that would take up a 1X2 space and shoot, well, cannon balls.
