Good names for catapult and trebuchet producing improvements ?

[Civinator]

I decided to let all my landbombarding units be produced by improvements. So for bombards I have the guild, for cannons the arsenal and for arty the cannon foundry. But now I´m looking for good names for catapult and trebuchet producing improvements. What names would you give for these improvements ?

 

[Quinzy]

siege workshop? (ala AOE)

 

[Bluemofia]

Beat me to it...

And how about "Carpenter's Guild"?

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Catapult = Siege Workshop

Trebuchet = Siege Engineers' Guild

 

[Goldflash]

"Juan Julio's Discount Siege Engine Emporium and Warehouse"

 

[Virote_Considon]

Siegeworks!(R)

 

[WildWeazel]

Akbar's Siege Weapons
(NOT balsa models)



I was actually just thinking about this myself (another hypothetical epic mod idea)... siege workshop was the only name I could come up with.

 

[Takhisis]

Pomab´s Emporium .
Carpenter? Siege workshop? von Krupp´s engineers? siege engineers?

 

[The Last Conformist]

Someone who works with catapults is known in Latin as a "catapultarius" - maybe this could be useful?

 

[Lord Malbeth]

For Trebuckets how about "Bucket of Tre's"

 

[Quinzy]

Trebs 'R' Us...
nah, i personally like siege workshop and siege engineers guild.

 

[Takhisis]

I don´t know how to say it in english but in Spanish it´s zapadores. You know, the people who make moats and trenches and build siege machines, and also dig under enemy fortifications. They would be sort of siege engineers, but not just that.

 

[WildWeazel]

Sappers? That's what they're called in AoK, IIRC.

OTOH, zapadores sounds like it would mean "cobblers"...

 

[Quinzy]

sabateurs? (ie: skilled in siege terrorist tactics, like bombs and stuff)

the people who operated the gear were different t o the dudes who dug under the castles, IIRC, but i cant be sure..

 

[Stormrage]

Of course they were, those who dug under the castles were dwarven miners!

 

[Takhisis]

Yep, dwarven Theiwar miners under the command of kalawax, sent by the Thane of Theibardin and Theibolden! but the Theiwar miners got oil poured on their heads and set fire upon when they finally reached thesurface insde the walls of Sithelbec.

Those are indeed sappers.

Thank you all for your answers. There were answers that made me laugh a lot: Very nice is the "domus catapultarius" (or ..tari ?) or the "hacienda de zapadores". Or the "hat of Kaboom"

Siege workshop (or siegeworks ?), carpenter´s guild sound good in my ears, Siege Engineers´Guild is -may be - one word too long. But may be, we get some other interesting solutions.

 

[Takhisis]

cobblers are zapateros

 

[The Last Conformist]

"domus catapultarius" (or ..tari ?)

-tarii for "house of the catapulteer",

Another option would be fabrica catapultaria "catapult workshop".
