The primary weaknesses of a siege tower include its vulnerability to fire, as wooden structures can be easily ignited, especially during prolonged sieges. Additionally, siege towers are often slow to construct and maneuver, making them susceptible to counterattacks before they reach their target. They also require significant manpower for protection and operation, which can strain resources. Finally, if the tower is not well-designed, it can collapse under its own weight or during an assault, jeopardizing the troops inside.
A siege tower is a tower on a wheeled platform to allow the attackers to climb up it and over the castle walls. Accurate doesn't come into it.
One of the oldest references to the mobile siege tower in ancient China was ironically a written dialogue primarily discussing naval warfare.
They were simply powered by the soldiers who built it.
Siege towers were of benefit in breaching enemy defenses/fortifications . For those within the siege engine itself they were in danger of having boiling oil scalding them and if the tower were set alight then those trapped could be burned alive or subject to missiles as they attempted to exit and flee from the tower itself .
They used wet animal hides on the front and both sides of the Belfry (or siege tower) to stop it from catching on fire. Hope this helps;-)
