So I know siege engines and wains are going to be implemented, i'm not suggesting that they be, I'm suggesting HOW they should be implemented. So let's start off with the fun stuff, logistics!(yay!)

Even the stoutest dwarf would not be able carry a trebuchet on his/her back. Now you can't just plop down a ready to go engine, as you need to unpack and pack them, this can be done with a click of a button in the gui. now once these items are in your inventory you get a slowness 2 debuff. You can't travel with that, you're a big shot you have places to be, so what do you do? you plop it on a wain, of course! Now these wains can be hitched to whatever you want, horse, rhino, zebra and even a troll if it fits your schedule

But now for the long and dull part the actual engines. so let's begin,

Siege Bows: these fine peices come in light and heavy variants, the best part about light is that you don't even need to pack em' up just hitch them up to whatever and you're ready to conquer.

Catapults: Now you can't pack up the light ones but they are small and can toss a stone or Fire o' Orthanc farther than any oversized longbow. But the real beauties are the heavy catapults, these monsters can fling straight over the walls and turn towns in to smoking ruins with the tug of a string

Rams: not much use, except for knocking holes in those pesky walls and gates head on, but make sure your grunts have a good helmet as coverings are sold separetly

Mantlet: For the mobile soldier, these wicker wonders can stop more arrows than any set of armor! And my good archer, do you know what the best part is? No, it's not buy one get one free. You can roll them up and carry them around on a horse! And thanks to our Dura-Light construction your horse can still wear armor.

Trebuchets: These are for the big players, the REAL strongmen, anybody who wants to have a serious siege will have at least one of these, why they can hurl just about anything, anywhere! two of these can reduce the strongest of dwarven walls to rubble, IN JUST ONE DAY! This is thanks to their massive boulder ammunition, made of only the highest quality gravel- I mean Strong solid rock!
