    I read earlier that there was a plan to scale up an Onager to represent another siege engine. This will NOT work. The Onager looks wrong, period!
    The Ballista or the Scorpion is what we should be looking at to scale up.
    "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
    -- John Stewart Mills

    But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

    Yeap. Sounds good to me.
    But... if you're able to conquer 4-5-level cities without ballistas, what's the point of getting them later?
    I'm still not here

    Maybe... ...because instead of waiting 8-10 turns for other cities to fall, you'll be able to launch an attack sooner?
