Siegeworks

Siegeworks adds medieval siege engines for field battles and assaults on fortifications: cannons, bolt throwers, stone throwers, a hwacha, a battering ram, a mantlet, siege ladders and a siege tower.

Construction begins with a blueprint. Once placed, the machine is built section by section using the required materials and a construction hammer. A completed machine can also be repaired or dismantled.

Artillery is loaded manually, with each weapon using its own ammunition, tools and loading sequence. Aiming is done from the operator's position; bolt throwers and stone throwers also allow their tension to be adjusted. Projectiles have different trajectories and effects on impact: they damage entities, penetrate some blocks and gradually destroy structures through repeated hits. Compatible wheeled machines can be towed by draft mounts.

Siege engines

On Forge 1.20.1, Villager Recruits can build, supply and operate siege engines. Siege commands are available in the regular Recruits command menu: select one or more squads, open the siege category and choose a machine type operated by those squads.

Recruits RTS Command adds control from the tactical map, including movement orders and fire zones.
