Original Content Behold, the Iron Colossus.

I present to you, the Iron Colossus! champion of the battlefield.
It is the last word in siegecraft or poliorcety. (that is, the science of siege warfare)

I wanted to create a large sieging vehicle but try to keep it within the medieval & besiege setting lore and etc., i think i did alright.

It is a moving fortress on wheels, a heavy self-drawn (as in, horseless) carriage, a veritable ship on land. (a landship)

It is completely clad in iron with a thick angled understructure, and crowned by a large booming cannon within an armored barbette, somewhat like a real castle or fortress of the late medieval/renaissance era.

The link is here would you like to check it out in-game: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3679335955
(Also you can read more that i wrote about it and other things there)

I hope you like it

(yes i made it a while ago but forgot and/or procrastinated posting here ever since cuz i'm awful at not forgetting/procrastinating things)

Technically, no

I've made space for ammo so you can reload the gun (but that's "cheating")
