Your catapult was destroyed WTF?
Me and a few other crafters built a catapult outside Mularn last night. While it was being aimed at different things, we got a message 'catapult was destroyed' and it just poofed. Nothing was actually attacking it, and the guy controlling it just got 200 wood in his inventory. Our best guess as to what may have happened is one of the many onlookers may have /salvaged it.
Any thoughts? CAN you salvage a catapult you are not /conrol'ing?

Just curious what you were going to use as ammo for it.

We mainly built it just for the hell of it. Finding out what all the ammo etc. requirements were along the way. (Never did get to where it complained about ammo LOL). There were several Dwarves volunteering as ammo if necessary.

Re: Your catapult was destroyed WTF?
All siege engines have a decay timer on them. Depending on the type, its about 30 min to an hour. You can reset this timer by having someone with high enogh skill /repair it every so offten (I would say every 15min just to be safe). When you are in combat, you are probably going to want someone constantly repairing to stop damage to the siege engine from the enemy. As far as I know, only the person who is in /control of the siege engine can /salvage it, though the person who orginally constructed it may be able to as well. Wether it poofs, or you /salvage it, you should get a good number of boards back.

Wonder if the health of it ticks down. I have noticed on armor I have repaired that when I target it, it is not at full 'health' but when repaired it pops up to full. I am not only a healer of trolls but armor as well. yay!

Re: Your catapult was destroyed WTF?
The catapult lasts 10 mins when being used. /repair doesn't work on seige equipment yet. They say it will last 30 mins un-used.
Until we see some changes, they are completely useless at 60 gold a pop. Especially when a 40 plus wizard with a half a bar of mana can do the same damage, and move after, and for free, and doesn't need 15-30 people to carry him.
I think you will be able to make better ones eventually... can I have a show of hands from people willing to pay 60 gold a skill raise ?

Re: Your catapult was destroyed WTF?
You know see the health tick down..
Weird thing is you dont need any wood to /repair and you repair it to full health everytime, no matter where its at in health.
Looked like you can keep it together how ever long you can with /repair now too
