The onager is a versatile catapult that can launch boulders or incendiary fire pots at enemy troops and fortifications.
Overview
The onager is a catapult jokingly named for the tremendous kick it has when fired at the enemy (an "onager" is a wild ass). This war machine is powered by a twisted spring of animal sinew ropes, the most elastic substance available. The throwing arm is held in tension by the sinews. When pulled back and held by a catch it can fling a boulder with considerable speed and range. This version can be used for reducing stone fortifications, but it can also be used on the battlefield for destroying enemy artillery and harassing troops (although admittedly by killing some of them outright). The onager can also be used to launch incendiary missiles such as fire pots, making it a versatile piece of artillery to any commander.
Details
Ornagers are huge catapults with powerful missiles that shreds troops and walls alike They can smash down wooden walls in one or two shots and stone walls and large stone walls in a few. Epic stone walls require many boulders to destroy however and 2-3 Ornagers are recommended. Ornagers can use flaming missiles and these are best used against troops as they will cause splash damage when they land. Try aiming for dense concentrations of enemies to ensure the missile hits something.
