@deepstrasz Those boxes will burst open & a catapult will come out, after the worker has hammered at it for a while. This system of 'hidden creation' of siege weapons is in part inspired by the siege weapons in Stronghold 1 being built in tents.
@deepstrasz hmm, if I were to go for a tent (for exampe sth like this) I'd have to have the worker disappear inside (orc way of building), because if he hammers at the tent from the outside, it would seem silly.
@deepstrasz well, it's a wooden box for ballistas, and a magical yellow glowing box for the elven floating caravan thing... I wanted the 3 types of siege units built in-field to have different boxes, so that one can tell what is being built.
I think it actually looks quite warcraft-y when the boxes burst open and the thing rolls out (it is given a small triggered move order in that moment). i think there was moments in the wc3 campaing when units would come out of boxes? (dalaran sewers mission?).
