The trebuchet is a powerful siege weapon developed during the Middle Ages. It is most effective when used to bombard a fortified city to soften its defenses. Like its sister unit the catapult, a trebuchet needs to be protected by an escort as it has no attack or defense power on its own. Finally, a trebuchet is wheeled, thus it may not enter mountain, volcano, jungle or marsh terrain unless following a road.
