aiming with siege equipment

[Glaeken]

are there any methods or tricks while aiming with ballista/catapult/trebucket? it's like im wasting every shot possible

Onagers and Trebuchets are pretty much just about targeting destructible objects, e.g. wooden constructions and battlements.

Actually punching a whole in a wall isn't possible though, unless during the siege the wall was damaged and fixed by a wooden construction (which you can destroy now).

So you pretty much just have to adjust the horizontal axis for those targets... nothing more about aiming than that.


Ballista on the other hand are pretty much the same as a bow and just need a little bit of practise.

The AI are pretty good at aiming it tbh which is surprising. I once had a trebuchet fire 3 times and each one took out half a dozen archer each time. Was pretty cool. Some times they have taken out the walls next to the ladders taking everyone out in the process, including me and my men near the top.
I think it is best to let the AI to the siege weapons and you go do something more productive.
