Trebuchets are ranged combat, vehicle ground units, able to deal high-powered attacks from range, but are very expensive, and vulnerable to melee attacks. They are incapable of moving and attacking in the same action.
Like other vehicles, Trebuchets cannot capture buildings, and cannot use a Wagon or Balloon for transport.
The Trebuchet can also attack Water units.
They're available to recruit from a Barracks for 1,000
Trebuchet Units[edit]
| Unit Name | Faction | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Trebuchet | Cherrystone Kingdom | Being a weapon primarily of siege warfare, it has been many centuries since Cherrystone has had any need of the Trebuchet. In fact, at the time of writing, there are only 6 remaining in commission, their wood creaking and their ropes weary. Despite this, the knowledge of their construction has been carefully preserved, and soldiers are trained in Trebuchet as a matter of course.[1] |
 |
Trebuchet | Felheim Legion | The Trebuchet is a recent addition to the legion, reflecting the degree to which Valder has brought structure and organisation to Felheim. Though its operators are unpractised and unruly, it has proved an effective addition to Felheim's armies.[1] |
 |
Trebuchet | Heavensong Empire | Heavensong's Trebuchets launch projectiles made up of a brittle eggshell-like casing, usually filled with potent gunpowder. These projectiles explode on impact, with devastating effect. On occasion, Commanders have seen fit to fill the shells with alternative payoads, ranging from caltrops to flaming pitch, and on one unusual occasion, cabbages.[1] |
 |
Treebuchet | Floran Tribes | It is constructed almost entirely from living wood taken from the Great Tree at the centre of the Gloomwoods. The Treebuchet is considered to be alive, and as such, is treated with great respect by the Floran. In fact, technically, it outranks those who operate it.[1] |
Critical Hit[edit]
Critical Hit ratio: ×1.5
A Trebuchet will perform a critical hit when attacking a unit at a distance of at least 5 tiles.
During severe weather, a Trebuchet cannot score critical hits, as its range is reduced to 4 tiles. During favorable wind, a Trebuchet can score its critical hit at a range of either 5 or 6 tiles.
Strategy[edit]
| “ | “Whilst a Trebuchet cannot attack and move in the same turn, it more than makes up for this with its immense range and damage. It can be used to control key space on the battlefield, but struggles without the support of other units.” |
