	Catapult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The next step from this was a larger form a crossbow mounted on a stand, including early versions of the oxybeles (Greek for bolt shooter) and the ballista (the Roman version of the oxybeles).
		Although similar to a crossbow, a sling on the end of the rope meant these weapons could be used for firing all sorts of projectiles, from rocks to pots of Greek fire.
		Subsequently, torsional catapults were developed: those with two torsion powered arms, the later versions of the ballista and oxybeles, and those with one torsion powered arm, the onager, known in medieval times as the mangonel.

		Oxybeles 1 in 3619 fires at Tribal 7 in 4019 sw.
		Oxybeles 2 in 3620 fires at Tribal 6 in 3919 sw.
		But in that case I would propose that you redo the whole move, inclusive the firing of the first two oxybeles; maybe that can compensate a bit for having a wrong location of units for 8 turns or so, which must have affected your (Alexanders I mean of course) tactics.

		ARTILLERY A 9.5, C 9.5 Addition: Scorpiones, Ballistae, and Oxybeles are highly effective missile units.
		Caesar's scorpiones and Alexander's oxybeles are about equivalent; the ballistae are a bit more powerful.
		PHALANXES A 9.61 Change: HI moving to shock a PH suffers only a 1L column shift [other attacking types are as per SPQR: 3L].

		The same character (read nu in Mandarin) was used in China to name several types of crossbow, but the Japanese weapon does not seem to have been the same as any of these.
		It appears, in fact, to have ben some sort of platform-mounted, crossbow-style catapult, on the order of the Greek oxybeles or lithobolos, the Roman ballista, and similar devices, perhaps capable of launching volleys of arrows or stones in a single shooting.
		A chronicle entry from 835 notes the existence of a “new ooyumi” (shindo), invented by Shimagi Fubito Makoto, that was supposed to have been able to rotate freely, shoot in all directions, and be easier to discharge than the existing design.

		In Greek, oxybeles translates to mean "bolt shooter", gastrophetes means "belly bow" in reference to how a man uses his weight from his belly to draw the bow, catapulta means "shield piercer", and ballista generally means "projectile shooter" in which the projectile is typically a stone shot.
		The ballista may also be referred to as a lithobolos, or "stone thrower".

		This was a time where the primary projectile weapons were the bow and arrow, sling, and Javelin.
		On a larger scale the Romans used a large catapult called the Onager (wild ass) and the Ballista, a large mechanical crossbow capable of firing various projectiles and, there were the Greek versions of the same weapons, the Oxybeles and the Lithobolos.
		However, in the end, conflicts between armies always came down to the skills of the individual foot soldier.

		Infantry: Peltasts, Hoplites, and the famous Macedonian Phalanx, a double sized unit of men shoulder to shoulder carrying enormously long 17ft.
		The Great Battles of Alexander is turn based but who starts first each turn is determined by the quality of the leaders on each side with the better ones getting additional phases within each turn.
		Get into the woods before the enemy and bring the Oxybeles in action quickly.

		Oxybeles: Let's hope that the latch issue was on only the sample unit, because the case appears to offer superior protection in every respect.
		Nonetheless, the latch issue is a serious problem.
