Yep. Onagers belong to the era from 200-400 AD (the Onager was first mentioned in 367 by Ammianus).
In the EB era, "stone projectors" are correct to use. And indeed, our models in the game don't currently reflect the true range of sizes in stone projectors.

I wouldn't be so sure about that

Not made by an EB-member though.

Wow!! I hope that will be included in EB2. Then no one will complain about siege weapons high cost or its ineffectiveness! Just look at the size of it......

I've been playing another mod recently, and it makes me realise just how much work has gone into EB.

Unfortunately some of the difficulties I've been having with the engine also demonstrate the limits of what can be done with RTW.

What does being a Member mean? I only just realised I was one.

Being a member of the ORG grants you stuff. Don't recall what, though.

Access to the miscellaneous fora, as well as less flood control and greater PM storage. The junior member rank was implemented to deter spammers and keep the more politically and historically oriented forums out of reach.

And how do you become a member?

Edit: Actually, I might post this in the FAQ.
