    Catapults leave a lot of room for creativity, and they allow many more ammo types then people expect. Or they will, at least, as more carryable objects are added.

    Currently I recommend trying:

    Artillery:
    Go knight, buy bombs, walk up to catapult, light them, hit E.

    Divine Intervention:
    Be at full health. Pick up heart. Load heart into catapult. Save a life.

    Cock Launcher:
    If Arlus is to be believed, chickens can be launched from the catapult.

    Grab a cata and launch yourself into enemy strong
    hold, then use the cata you are holding to kill from the inside.

    wait for your best knight and builder combo to die, send op launching over to enemy's roof, they spawn on roof, secure roof, you win.
    Set up a cata room (can't launch people only stone), works wonders.

    Catas are basically the best thing ever if [common sense] is to be believed. I enjoy rushing catas too much, but it requires 2 people to do properly.

    Here's an idea. Load the enemy flag into a catapult. Fire it to your base. Win.

    Or load your base into the catapult and fire it at their flag.

    You can pick up catapults.

    You used to be able to continually load catapults into other catapults by "mounting object"

    However, the most i've managed to load was about 3 now, so I think the code prevents you from doing it excessively.

    It seems to depend on the catapult, sometimes I pick up a cata and it will NOT go in another cata, but a different cata will happily fit inside.

    Haven't tested recently, but only newer catapults can be loaded into older catapults.

    Flip the catapult upside down, stand on top of it, then launch the map far away. Being the last one left, you'll win by default.

    Siege Climber: Knight gets in catapult. Archer picks up catapult. Archer climbs tree. Knight jumps out of catapult, onto enemy wall.

    Confusion: Archer picks up catapult. Archer hides in tree. Catapult juts out of tree ridiculously. Enemy team is distracted. Allies ambush them.
