A ballista (its kind of like cannon)
BobSevenSevens:
OK, for those who don't know, a ballista is like a giant bow with wheels. In medieval times, they would move it near the wall of the town/castle/whatever, put "greek fire" at the end, and launch a giant, flaming arrow over the wall.
I'd like it to move, but very slowly. It would take about 5 seconds for a "string pulling back" animation (a little bit longer than the spear wait) and when you let go, a giant burning arrow would come out and have gravity, but not too much. Also, there would be a small radius (ex. 5 brick radius) where it would kill you if you were in that radius, up to 15 brick radius, 50 damage, 25 brick radius, 25 damage, etc.
