What is the SIEGE Engine?

What is the SIEGE Engine and how does it work? I do a quick overview and give a few examples of how attribute checks work using prime and secondary attributes.

When I first played C&C way back when, the idea of seige engine was a bit daunting at first. I also felt that the GM problem was in setting the challenge level in order to be fair and consistent. In fact it's pretty simple. The challenge level equates to the advancement gained by level bonus for a character when they level up. So if a level 6 Rouge sets a trap, the CL to disarm it would be 6. As said in the video the The game rules give general difficulty levels i.e a CL of 1-3 being easy, 4-6 being moderately difficult etc.. Once a few scenes have been run through, it's straight forward.

Thanks for the video. I haven't played Castles & Crusades yet, and I wasn't sure if I understood exactly how the SIEGE Engine mechanics work in play, so this was helpful.

glad I was able to help!

I couldn’t be less impressed with a system. A lot of twiddling to get a very poor chance of success and no guidance at all on how to adjudicate the quality of a success or failure. Might as well just flip a coin

I ignore the siege engine.
