A '''siege engine''' in ''Dwarf Fortress'' is half building, half heavy weapon, and includes both the '''catapult''' and the '''ballista'''. Both are capable of launching hazardous projectiles at a tremendous range (more than a screen-width, around 80 to 100 tiles for a catapult and between 130 and 200 tiles for a ballista). A [[ballista arrow]] can kill or injure each creature in its path indiscriminate of friend or foe, but a stone launched from a catapult cannot harm [[dwarf|dwarves]] or [[animal trainer|tamed animals]]. | A '''siege engine''' in ''Dwarf Fortress'' is half building, half heavy weapon, and includes both the '''catapult''' and the '''ballista'''.
