"A Mangonel is an immobile siege weapon, usually placed upon towers in order to provide protection against a siege, or in a distance from enemy walls in order to tear them down. It is operated by two men. The Catapult which is installed on the Mangonel is capable of launching big chunks of rock to long distances. Mangonels are definitely NOT well known for their accuracy."
I've got my inspiration from Stronghold(the old PC strategy game) and a bit from Olofmoleman's Trebuchet. I also used an illustration in my history book as a reference while shaping the mesh.
The portrait model("MangonelPortrait.mdx") is actually a fitting projectile\missile model.
I WILL make a team-colored version if I will get enough ideas as to where to place it... Any help is highly appreciated! Please write a comment if you have an idea as to where to place teamcolor.
