Siege Weapons

Two Things

1. Siege weapons will not work in rooms with totems anymore. In addition
you cannot push them into rooms with totems.

2. Sometime today, the way guards target trebuchets and catapults will
change. Those in authority will target the rooms they want guards to
fire at. This is going to be done for several reasons. One, to reduce
comm waste. Two, to focus your defences. Three, more stratagy. Four,
when we start adding in war, it will keep the entire planet from
becoming a catapult target zone. Five, to kill any possible system lag.
As it is, a trebuchet could possibly have over 1000 rooms assigned to
it. The code then has to search for enemies in every one of those rooms,
every few seconds. You can imagine how quickly that could possibly lag
the system, especially when we have a hundred catapults looking for
targets all the sudden.

Look for the catapult change, later today.
