Well, I had so much fun with the catapult, I ended up making a ballista too. It's fully animated, but not scripted, and I sadly don't even have a place to put it yet. Danmar thinks he has a solution to the castle wall pathing problem, but his time is even more limited than my own, so that may not be happening any time soon. Still, a "defend the castle scene" is still something I'd really like to see.

I did some bug testing last night, finding out that a particular battle was way too hard. Plus my evil zombies turned on their master when I realized that I had set their faction to "Defender". Still, every one of my elven troops died during the fight. I ended up toning down his defenses a bit.

Life is still quite busy. Work is frantic for some odd reason. A little over a month until the baby is born. My stepfather made his trip to Chicago to see his family one last time. He's back in town since yesterday, though I'm not sure how much company he wants after several weeks of nonstop visitors.
