1. The stone projectors are virtually useless against enemy forces.
2. They are easily replaced by other siege equipment.
3. Once you smash through an entrance of a large walled city, the gate keepers will still pour stuff on you as you try to get inside. Better to use ladders.
4. They are brutally expensive.
5. For the price, elephants are better. They can at least get out of the way when enemies charge them, or at least give a good account of themselves.
What kind of enemies would charge an elephant?
