  Siegecraft And Siege Warfare - LoveToKnow 1911
The special results of this, from the point of view of fortification and siegecraft, were the extension of perimeters and the thinness with which a circle or arc of investment could now be maintained.
The practical technique of fortification and siegecraft was, meantime, progressing in details; reinforced concrete had come into normal use, armour was improving in quality, the defence had it in its power no less than the attack to profit by developments in the design of quick-firing guns and howitzers of medium calibres.
Observation balloons and kites were available, superior to the old spherical types; wireless telegraphy removed some of the dangers of investment and made it possible to coordinate the activity of a besieged garrison with that of a relieving army.

 Siegecraft HOWTO: A Guide To Pointing and Shooting
Higher skill levels in Siegecraft will mean that siege weapons may assemble faster, but you will never actually destroy material when trying to assemble a siege weapon.
Remember, siege weapons do not move, and once the siegecrafter is handed the pieces for assembly, due to their weight s/he will not be able to move either until the engine is built.
Once you have the items necessary, simply build the recipe from the Siegecrafting icon similar to the procedure for assembling other tradeskill items.  Currently there is a bug with the siegecrafting recipes in that not all the pieces required for some recipes will display in the recipe.

 Siegecraft.
Not surprisingly, the military engineers of ancient armies invented the techniques of siegecraft, one of the most sophisticated expressions of the military art.
One of the earliest inventions to overcome fortifications was the battering ram, which dates from at least 2500 B.C. By 2000 B.C., it was a normal implement of warfare.
The steady development of siegecraft resumed once again during the reigns of Philip and Alexander.

 TheHistoryNet | Ancient and Medieval Wars | Medieval Warfare: How to Capture a Castle with Siegecraft
The present-day notion of medieval warfare is of longbowmen standing shoulder to shoulder loosing arrows and knights charging across open fields before engaging in brutal hand-to-hand battle.
Such battles, however, were the exception, for during the Middle Ages warfare was a much more complicated affair that more often than not involved siegecraft.
After his 1066 victory at Hastings, William the Conqueror initiated a massive castle-building program in England that was instrumental in completing the Normans' subjugation of the Anglo-Saxons.

 The Camelot Herald
Player crafters with the Siegecraft tradeskill can now create two new types of rams: a battle ram and a war ram.
The war ram is created by moving a regular siege ram and a battle ram close together and using the war ram Siegecraft recipe.
When you are ready to deploy the siege engine, use the deploy recipe found in the Siegecraft tradeskill recipe list.

 JDLawhon.com - Siegecraft 101
Siegecraft is one of the most important skills in keep taking and defense.
It is a skill that many Albs tend to take lightly, and as a result, many keep takes or defenses end up in failure due to lack of preparation and equipment.
Below, I will discuss the building and operating of rams, trebuchets, and palintones, define their appropriate uses to the best of my ability, and hopefully give those of you who are new to the world of Siegecraft a good idea of how things work.

 VN Boards - Siegecraft changes in 1.90e
Siegecrafting has been completely revamped and fleshed out into a full tradeskill.
The modern cult of individual self-expression is a poor substitute for the religion it strove to replace, and the delusion of personal creativity an even worse substitute for redemption.
You can build it at the merchant, so that makes it just as easy as Tailoring but it's also a rather fast tradeskill to learn, so gaining even 200 points to be able to deploy everything is a snap.

 Roman Siegecraft - Ancient Roman Empire Forums
If the Romans were the only ones with siegecraft technology, how did the Persians successfully overcome the defenders of the Athenian Akropolis?

 Bouphonia: Fortifications and Siegecraft
Bush will soon sign legislation calling for the construction of a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border.
I'm reminded of Walt Kelly's observation that doors close on both sides, and W.G. Sebald's remarks on "the insanity of fortifications and siegecraft," which "cast the shadow of their own destruction before them."
Many opponents of the fence argue correctly that it would devastate the Tijuana estuary and other fragile landscapes.
