← HistoryWhich outcome results when 'agger' height exceeded limits?
A)Siege tower instability increases rapidly✓
B)Catapult range becomes insufficient quickly
C)Tunnel collapses become more frequent
D)Ram effectiveness dramatically increases low
💡 Explanation
Siege towers become unstable when the 'agger' is too high because center-of-mass height increases which significantly reduces restoring moment creating tipping moment amplifying wind which leads to eventual loss; therefore instability goes higher, rather than allowing other siege options which benefit from relatively stable elevated sites.
