      I thought they were extremely imprecise, especially vs. a singular target - devastating vs. an entire army, but not an individual.

        But they’re also great at destroying buildings and shit, between these and some trebuchets and stuff they could really do a number on an area then move in with the troops, they also had no issues just throwing bodies at the problem. Anyway I was just pointing out the technicality around the term artillery.
