FIRENSIA: /* Ballistae */ added info about pushing ballistae - it may not be the best, but it's one of those questions i get asked all the time and i hear people telling others the ballista is bugged etc. i don't think they are bugged. just quirky.

			''Frequent Question'': I can PUSH the ballista successfully, but it won't return to its original position of pointing straight down. Is it stuck? Is there some verb that performs the opposite action than PUSH?

			''Answer'': It is not stuck, and there is no verb to perform the opposite of PUSH. PUSH will cycle through the three tilt positions over and over, provided the ballista is aimed in the right direction. Often, the ballista must be TURNed a particular direction (N, S, E, W, etc) in order to achieve an aim of straight down toward its own base. So, if the ballista seems stuck aiming at a far distance, then you must first TURN the ballista in a different direction, and try to PUSH it again to achieve the straight-downward aim.

			When the ballista is TURNed in the appropriate direction, it will continually cycle through these aims as it is PUSHed:
			<pre{{log2}}>
			For this example, assume the ballista is aiming straight downward as its starting position:

			>push ballista (the 1st push)
			You push on the ballista and it tilts upwards slightly, becoming level enough to fire a good distance away from the tower.

			>push ballista (the 2nd push)
			You push on the end of the ballista, causing it to tilt upward at a sharp angle so that it could fire a very significant distance away from the tower.

			>push ballista (the 3rd push)
			You push on the end of the ballista, and it tilts downward at a sharp angle toward the entrance of the tower.

			Note that after 3 pushes, the ballista is aiming straight downward again, as it was in the starting position.
