Adam Isgreen, creative director at World’s Edge, offered a (very) deep dive into the fan-favorite, highly memed trebuchet during Xbox’s Gamescom stream, as a way to teach players about medieval history.
Age of Empires 4 launches on Oct. 28, on Windows PC via Steam and the Windows Store.
In the case of ye olde trebuchet, mechanical engineer Dr. Shini Somara explained how the don’t-call-it-a-catapult works at Warwick Castle in England during a three-minute-long segment shown at Tuesday’s livestream.
Age of Empires 4 will include 28 unlockable Hands on History videos, each of which was “filmed on location with experts around the world.”
