Mangonel is more advanced artillery unit than simple catapult. It fires explosive barrel that with random time fuse. It can either blow up in the sky, setting several places on fire that persists and kills any unit that comes over it, or it blows up into big explosion on the ground, while leaving no fire.

It is even useful in field battles, especially on defense. (   • Mangonel smash! Fire power in open battle  ) It can lob units in front of it, so it is even safe to guard it with spears. During sieges, it can defend long streets or at the gate. Of course it excels during bridge battles as well.

As it clearly have many uses, it is good choice for any army.
