Description
Visual Description: The War Castle is a large, mobile fortress on wheels, resembling a medieval castle. It is roughly 20 feet wide, 25 feet long, and 15 feet high, with two floors. The wheels are large and are protected by a chain armor skirt. The castle is made up of several components, including six powerful draft horses, battlements for troops to use ranged and melee attacks, and the main castle structure, which houses the siege weapon and provides cover for occupants. When in motion, the War Castle can be heard from a great distance as it rumbles across the terrain, leaving a trail of difficult terrain in its wake.
