Hey Plutar, I’ve been sketching a wooden siege engine for the next raid—solid, simple, and easy to assemble. Got any efficient design tips?

Use a simple lever system with a single pivot point, keep the frame triangular for stability, make all joints quick‑release pins so you can disassemble in a few minutes, and choose a lightweight yet strong hardwood like oak or ash so the engine is easy to move and sturdy under load. Keep the design modular—build each arm as a separate unit so you can swap or repair parts without rebuilding the whole thing.
