"Onager (Level 1-3): These early catapults were based on ancient Roman technology, they used tensioned rope that when released launched stones at enemy fortifications."

"Catapult (Level 4-5): Catapults were increasingly important as a weapon to destroy castle fortifications as castles became bigger and stronger."

"Mangonel (Level 6-8): Mangonels were similar to trebuchets in that they used counter weights rather than tensioned rope to trigger the launch of projectiles."
