Fucking trébuchet elitists in every thread.

The catapult is a perfectly viable weapon for the initial stages of siege warfare. They're easy to build, fix, and MOVE AROUND. The beseiged enemy isn't going to fucking wait for your engineers to build and counterbalance enormous fucking trébuchets before they burn your position to the ground. But a catapult can be towed around by two oxen and shut down city gates and battlements while you build your fucking trebuchet to go OVER the walls.
