Helepolis
Thousands of straining bodies push this six-tiered siege tower forward on a colossal scale, walking a fortress right up to a wall.
A helepolis is a towering siege tower on a colossal scale — six tiers of timber and iron driven forward by thousands of straining bodies, a fortress that walks itself up to the enemy wall.
The helepolis uses both pushed propulsion and turned propulsion to turn a capstan. Turned propulsion uses the same rules as rowed propulsion. Pushed propulsion uses the same rules as pulled.
