Stone tipper

The stone tipper is a defensive equipment appearing in Stronghold 2.
==Description==
The stone tipper is a wall mounted holder for a batch of rocks. It is hanged between two wooden sticks, around which it can be turned vertically. When instructed to flip, the tipper releases the rocks, severely wounding units under it. The tipper needs some time to recharge before it can be used again.
==Usage==
The stone tipper is not a common sight in sieges, but it is surely effective against standing under the walls. It is particularly useful against unarmored units and can also destroy ladders.
One downside of the tipper is that it is too expensive and it is effective only in close range. The other disadvantage is that it is unusable for quite a time, which is enough for a second wave of enemy units to get those ladders set up and attempt to scale the walls.
Like rolling logs, should the wall holding the tipper be sufficiently damaged, the stone tipper is automatically destroyed.
==Game difference==
The stone tipper is replaced by the oil tipper in Stronghold Legends.
