Although we already have cannons, I have to side with siege engines too. I mean, cannons are expensive+effective
Siege Weapons are supposed to be expensive
Quote from Lysho »
We need a lesser form, just like Plates are the intermediate of defense, we need an offense too. I would imagine it would act like a dispenser as Radetzky suggested, but shoot at more of an arc and be bigger than 1 block.
So what Radetzky suggest was something like a dispenser arched at 45 degree angle, that is at least 2 blocks tall.
Now I heard that Sand, being affected by gravity, is able to be launched by TnT
I am Pro-Siege Equipment, but it should take time to build, since siege shouldn't be your first though, we already have dispensers, which is the intermediate of the cannon.
Maybe a Ballista,
- You need to craft the Each Arrow
- Each Arrow can't be stacked (Since it's so big)
- To Shoot, you right click it with the Arrow in your hand, then Right Click again to shoot
- It would be placed at a 45 degree angle
- The Arrow shot by the Ballista would be able to do 9 hearts of damage
- Different Arrows could be crafted for the Ballista (Explosives and Water/Lava Carrier)
- Once loaded Could be Launched by Redstone
- To Use after you would need to right click once, and that would but the Bow back to Launch Position but it would take X amount of Seconds, then you right click to shoot.
- Would be Flamable
- Other Stuff I missed

You're suggesting a Mod. I was suggesting using existing blocks to build Seige equipment.
The Sand thing.... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... That's an Idea!
Also wouldn't sand get blown up instead of getting launched...?
I thought the only reason why TNT launched was because of its richochet properties
The Ballista arrows are apperantly to be made by making each section of the bolt seperatly, and combining them.
Also, I don't know if Sand is explosion-proof at any range.... Perhaps if it can recieve kinetic energy from the TNT without being destroyed, Sand launchers are possible.

TnT is able to be launched cause it goes with gravity when activated, stuff that goes with gravity is able to be launched, but because gravel and sand is weak would mean that it would get blown up if too close, but if the sand/gravel is far enough it will get launched (don't know how far)
And I was thinking,

the output would be known as Ballista Base #1 it would fire at a 45 degree angle
[] [] []
[] []
the output would be known as Ballista Base #2 it would fire at a 0 degree angle
[] []
[] []
the output would be known as Ballista Base #3 and would fire at a 360degree-45degree (do the math)
Or something like this
Or.....
Left Clicking on the Ballista would rotate those positions, from 45 degrees to 0 degrees to 360-45 degrees.

Oh ok
Weapons/Defense systems make-able with all these blocks :
- Cannons ( + + )
- Land Mines ( +Pressure Plate)
- Secret Tunnels (cost 1/2 heart, railroad, and a mine-cart, look it up if you don't know)
- Raining Arrows ( + [>>-i>] )
- Mortars (Cannons that shoot up)
-Dispensers
- Falling Pit Traps ( + sand/gravel)
- Others no one has found out
Can you please list, the seige weapon ideas here, cause this comp can't play Minecraft without massive lag (So no file-loaders please, just images if you can)

For The Explosive Arrow, There would be a simple change for the middle
=
= Iron
= Sulfur
= Explosive Pipe
Then you would substitute the Pole for the Explosive Pipe
(if this is overpowered compared to the cannons, change it)
And for Lava there would also be a change for the Middle
=
= Iron
= Bucket of Lava
= Lava Filled Pipe
Then you would substitute the Pole for the Lava Filled Pipe
The water arrow is the same thing except replace the lava with water
Arrow Effects
Normal Arrow : This will do damage to the player and will stick out 2 blocks from the ground when it misses, if you go up to it, in the next 5 minutes and right click it, for 5 seconds you will begin the act of retrieving it
Lava Arrow : Releases one source block of lava, where it hits, does 6 hearts of damage
Water Arrow : Releases one source block of water, where it hits, does 6 hearts of damage
Explosive Arrow : (Scientific Explanation) When it hits something , the Iron will run across the Flint (from the top) and will create a spark, the spark created will make the sulfur explode, (Normal Explanation) When the arrow hits something it goes kaboom

I Would like a ballista. I think it should be placeable but not able to be picked up again. I think that it should be able to rotate, perhaps by nudging it?
This idea is quite amazing. I would offer all the help I can, but unfortunately, my little knowledge in both java and modeling renders me useless. Therefore, I hope you will succeed in your attempt to create this amazing mod, as this mod creates the exact "Lively" feeling I wanted Minecraft to have. I shall bookmark this. Good luck. :smile.gif:

Yes, but they prefer to post their own ridiculous ideas then acknowledge that such an Idea is already formulated.
Btw, I'm having some trouble with Humans+, could you help me out?
ballistas on the walls, pointed towards enemy attacks?
rams to break down the enemy wall when you are attacking?
