Creature:Tragnon/War Machines

Tragnon war machines
It is simple, every advanced army can´t exist without war machines. Where the power of muscles is not enough, the wind, fire, or water does the job. Huge constructions what were made for destruction of cities and armies, are very important. Tragnon make no exception. They use many types of war machines, from wooden catapults, to armoured monster bombards. They use mostly ballistic machines, but some contactive exist too, like steam crusher wagon, and battering rams. So, let´s look, what you can find it Tragnon battle arsenals.

Catapults
Catapults are very simple ballistic war machines used by Tragnon. They work on the principle of lever, what catapults the projectile at huge speed to the enemy walls or soldiers. Tragnons don´t use them very often now, but they were primary machines in the past. The projectile is usually rock, but sometimes dead animal, infested bodies, animal droppings and so can be used too - a first biological weapons what infest whole city when used. Tragnon army has about hundred of them, but they are used only in old, unreformed, auxiliary Tragnon armies. They are unresponsible, old, and give little damage in the comparison with cannons.

Culverin
Culverins are the smallest type of Tragnon cannons. They are only bit larger than large guns, and were invented first of all Tragnon gunpowder weapons. They fire sharp and fast projectiles, capable of piercing armor plating better than largest cannons. Sometimes, smaller type of culverin is used as hand weapon, but, because it is very heavy and unpractical, it is not very popular. Tragnons have hundreds of culverins. Tragnon ship type Enthodraca have many of them, and culverins are also smallest, cheapest, and most practical type of Tragnon ballistic war machine.
