Ok, i dont know of this question has been answered already but i was wondering how the hell does the Catapult unit transports the stones? As you guys can see at this image:

You do not see any stones loaded on the catapult it just walks and then hoppa all of the sudden some stones are found :S

It is nice that the Catapult has 2 persons controlling it but you should add a place for the stones too...or?

@Platina - well, don't ya just think it's for an illustrative purposes - i.e. we all get the idea of what's going on - don't we :)

catapult (and trebuchet) has limited amount of ammonitions? like bowmen for example? in the unit showcase i haven't read so!

no because a catapult is making ammonition on spot. Historically they shot with almost all what was heavy. However, no you dont see the stones being made.

thanks for the answer!

you are right, because probably every stone could become an ammo for catapults and trebuchets!

a funny (and crazy :D ) suggestion: in stronghold trebuchets could throw (sometimes) also infected cows against enemy units (not effect against buildings)!

That isn't funny, but damn mean.
The pleague was never a 'funny' thing - well, if your enemies are infected and you not... perhaps... ;) .

Throwing cows in stronghold was great, hahaha, i love the splat sound that they made when they landed

looks to me like they are going to be for buildings but I could be wrong.
