If I am correct, siege weapons are things like catapults and were used to attack cities/towns/villages and what not. If not, then that is what I mean by siege weapons.
I think catapults should be added to MC. They would be craft like so,

They could fling stuff. This wasn't a very thought out suggestion but I think it would be kind of cool and add more weaponry choice to minecraft...
Would be kinda fun. You could also substitute the bowl for a dispenser, which would use some code already in place for storing and firing ammo :biggrin.gif:
But a bowl would actually hold whatever you are launching. Maybe you could only launch water, lava, gravel, and sand. Since sand and gravel follow the law of gravity. Water and lava can be launched, lava would melt the bowl in real life, but this isn't real life.
A catapault which functions much like a weak TNT cannon would be a lot of fun. You could fling single blocks of TNT at a target, launch sheep and other mobs, maybe even launch yourself into an otherwise-inaccessible mid-cliff entrance to your hidden base. Or across a moat. It could be used for various types of trap if hooked to redstone circuits. Heh, place it right, and maybe you could lure a creeper into the bowl and then quickly hit the launch button to fling a creeper over the walls of someone's otherwise-secure fortress. Load it with snowballs or eggs for epic PvP fun.
Of course, someone will figure out a way to mount one on the back of one of those neutral-in-sunlight giant spiders to create the first hostile mob scarier than a spider jockey.
But since we've already got TNT cannons, and this would be no more powerful (if probably easier to build and carry around), this wouldn't really be anything particularly overpowered. It would probably be outranged by a bow, thus not terribly useful for serious PvP wars or castle assaults. Only being able to fire one block/entity at a time, it would be less powerful than larger TNT cannons. Heck, tossing a mob into the air over level ground probably won't even kill it, although it probably would take some fall damage.
