Trebuchet.mdx is truly outstanding. The detail in the ropes and winches is excellent; the attack and death animations are top-notch. Follow the author's instructions below to make this even more useful. A very desirable model.

Aspiring modelers take note: aspire to THIS.

[Mechanical Man]

Nice number of polys

 

[Bob27]

This is a nice model, with awesome animations. I approve.

 

[Attrox]

i used it and its lovely... no its outstanding and untoppable

the animations are greate... better then the original blittard animations!

i give u 10/10 points for this =D

 

[Deleted member 126647]

And another one here, nice.

Glad you like the animations.

 

[ap0calypse]

76Kb for such a great model... that's amazing
I think this model is very usefull... olofmoleman did it again

 

[Tyrael_IM]

Coolest ever from medieval.........10/5 Diablo 3 Map Anounced..

 

[Videogamer010]

WOW this is totally AWSOME and PERFECT for my map... 20/5 and a great file size to boot!

 

[Koopa124]

Awesome! I used it thanks a lot! (yes i gave credit too!)

 

[Lord_Sauron]

This is really well done! Thanks!

 

[NatDis]

A tidy thing you have there to invade castles. This is certainly something that truly beats the horrible contraptions of WC3. If only there was a better birth animation....4/5

 

[Kam]

No team color, but otherwise very nice.

 

[Wolfybeker]

nice olof alot of ur models r useful but this is just...awesome

 

[Devine]

this is the most amazing, best model Iv ever seen

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Nice done! 5/5

 

[theken]

This is an awsome model 5/5. It would be even cooler if you could do a packed trebuchet, so you can make it more realistic.

 

[Dethadow]

Amazing! Perhaps you should make a "packed" trebuchet

 

[olofmoleman]

Trebuchets were not traveling equipement, they were made on the spot of the siege, a packed trebuchet is pretty much completely fantasy.

 

[Seph_X]

How can the model be 25kb if ITS SO COOL? This is also a "most download, most test"

 

[VeljkoM]

greatest and most useful siege model ever.I am using it in my map and it is simply great.
I have given you credit.

 

[DarkDivinity]

*jaw drops* without a doubt, one of the greatest models to be found here on THW...5/5 easily, and thanks for the info

 

[somecrazyhobo]

Amazing model...5/5

 

[leaxclan]

what a nice model!

 

[MetaKnight]

Make a packed version please!

 

[saphiree]

Fucking awesome. But if you set it to a building, will it then still be able to move around? And if it doesent, what does "is a building" then really do?
I am gonna use as a building, but still...

 

[Licheus]

Certainly one of the best models I've ever seen. I love trebuchets, I love WarCraft and so of course I love this model. ^^
I'd never expected to find something like this anywhere. Great job! 5/5 indeed.

 

[Bloodspine]

AWESOME! just pure awesomeness, it reminds me of the Age of Empires 2 game so much. 100/10

 

[darkdoom]

Truly Amazing! I am gonna go check out your other models, this model doesn't deserve anything lower than a 10.0 I am impressed.

 

[theken]

Trebuchets were not traveling equipement, they were made on the spot of the siege, a packed trebuchet is pretty much completely fantasy.

And the rest of warcraft isn't? lol. anyways, with enough creativity and engineering, a packed trebuchet could be possible. Still a great model, and I also emphasize that a packed version should be made.

 

[saphiree]

Well, if they wanted a transportable trebuchet they just used catapults. (I know it's not the same, but you get the idea.) But what the hell, does it matter? If you want it moving, make it moving. No big deal, it's up to the mapper.

 

[Coolone]

Give to it flags or something to show team collor. And make other version whit wheels.

 

[Aggrius]

sweeeet potatoes! 5/5! +rep

 

[Alfagar]

Well, It's a DC, what more to say?
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

 

[Crius]

Epic.

 

[Jura]

Looks like it is from WoW!

 

[iBear]

I can't say enough good things about this model! Absolutely excellent. 5/5

 

[xDeathKnightx]

This Model is the Sex.

 

[TheWarchief]

Very Very cool and i would definitely be using it if just it was packable like those from Age of Empires 2... They could pack and unpack so they could move.
Have you played AOE2? 'Cause the model looks ALOT like the one in AOE2. Which is a good thing

Edit: Oh yeah forgot: Search "AOE2 Trebuchet" on google pictures then you know what i mean with packed and unpacked

 

[wolfbite]

well i'm having problem... many models work for me but... your models are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! worst that... :'( all ur models don't work

 

[gorillabull]

we need more of these models which use in game textures, its impractical to have a 500kb model of which 400 kb is custom textures

 

[kellym0]

wow this is sick man. a packed one would be cool, I know thats not accurate, historically, but it was packable in age of empires...soooooooooo


still awesome.

 

[Argos]

Its amazing! Good job and keep making another cool models 5/5 + rep

 

[kitsuki1412]

Great. 5/5.

 

[NourmeusXL]

Truly outstanding creation.
5/5

 

[-Darkness-]

Nice model, and works properly.
6/5

 

[Onholyservicebound]

Perfect.

 

[InfernalTater]

I could have sworn I'd rated this, but apparently I haven't.

Anyway, this is completely awesome. The file size is fantastic compared to its quality. Even now it's still worth a 5/5, let alone 8 years ago when it was made; this thing is legendary.

 

[A]mun]

one of the best/most unique and interesting siege weapons of human history - and well made
