"Also, we want to give Cyrodiil some new toys so we’re looking into adding an entirely new siege weapon that is Dwemer-based with some magical influences. Coming up this year, we’re going to add captureable towns into Cyrodiil, and look to expand on that more along with giving keeps and resources more upgrades. "

I could do without some dwemer junk... no more logic to it

I wonder if they vanish on 1st use ?

I hope it can magically ignore trees when trying to aim it.
Even if it's aiming reticle appears every time I get on it will be an improvement .

If the siege engine is mobile or could be used to bring a boarding party to an enemy keep's outer wall in some way, I will die from joy.

Oh, I love the 36 Lessons of Vivec. The beginning of the words is ALMSIVI

BUT BUT Can we PLEASE have a QUEST to unlock it??? Doesn't have to be hard, just LORE heavy! ^_^ PLS?? @Lawrence_Schick

Sounds pretty cool to me! I would love if they were ride-able by multiple people. One person steering. Other people setting off the Dwemer weapons, while others shoot their bows and cast magic.

Captureable towns?! Sounds pretty awesome. Might split the main zergs into smaller zergs and help alleviate some performance issues too. Assuming towns are worthwhile to capture.

I'm down for when he said that the dueling system is being worked on

Thanks for the link to the interview, Icy.

I don't see how catapulting dwarves could really hurt a strong stone wall, but I look forward to catapulting dwemer nonetheless. I suppose they could have like spiky-topped helmets strapped to their heads.

So like a Dwemer version of Hale's Warthog? Sounds epic.

If they're gonna introduce anything new that is Dwemer in nature and would affect the war, don't forget that in the Dominion questline, you discover blueprints for an Airship.

OOOO!!! And in TES VI (Skyrim, 1000 years in the future) you FIND a crashed airship... *squeeeeeeee*

BUT... ZoS has said in the past nothing flying... :'(

Capturable IC and towns sounds like great move.

I believe it has something to do with Cyrodil Daily Towns, maybe those are becoming capturable.

I'm sure it was a mod

I did use the search feature in the forums for "dwemer siege" before I posted but I didn't see anything come up. The search functionally leaves much to be desired.

Perhaps the dwemer could be contracted to improve it? :P

Eshelmen · May 2016

Maybe it catapults players into keeps?
One at a time! ahaha..

Drungly · May 2016

Yeah great. Let's add more stuff to Cyrodiil so we can all enjoy an even bigger lag.
