I think I remember reading about Siege Engineers before...
Can you tell us if they really existed? ???

Still, whether they did or not, it is a good idea,
and these look very much the part. :)

Yes!
Construction of Medieval Siege Weapons
Medieval Siege warfare and building Medieval Siege Weapons was an extremely expensive business! All sieges had to be carefully planned and the exact type and number of Medieval Siege Weapons had to be established. Medieval Lords, knights and their Siege Engineers identified the weakest parts of the Castle or town that they needed to attack and planned the design of the siege engines accordingly. A workforce including carpenters and Blacksmiths had to be transported to the site. The surrounding area was checked out for materials and supplies. Armed men and soldiers were expected to help prepare for the siege by helping to build the siege weapons and engines. Many elements needed to be taken into consideration when designing Medieval Siege Weapons

Yes Royal Palace Castle is already prepared for your Queen !!

By the way Wolf am using belts with all Kinds of torso armor made by playmobil.
You can put the belt at the end of torso piece by push it down but your klicky can not sit any more or to wear with the sword holder at the back of the figure like the BlackKnightsRealm and my Heavy and elite Cavarly.Look my Archangel castle topic.

BKR(BlackKnightsRealms) after your ally army and Sir Wolfs help Giorginetto had to conquer the world to win in our confict!!!

LONG LIVE THE DRAGONS!!!!!!! and your Lions  Sir Wolf

Nay, you shall be defeated.
Like waves upon a rock cliff your hoards of Playmobil will wash upon our shields and die,
Drowning in your sea of blood.

And songs will be written about the great heros who fought and died,
But no song shall be as greatly sung as those for the Warriors of Rutileo.

looking forward!

i tried the armour belt method and it works well enough for me, but do you think it might damage the belts over time?
