First, cauldrons would be more accurate, but barrels should look pretty good. Second, the oil would typically not be dumped over the wall. I've seen two approaches. The first is to have an overhang above the gates. This would be a guard room above and forward of the gate. The floor would have various openings in it which could be used to drop rocks, hot oil,... They could also be used by archers. The second approach is like a drain from the catwalk. The base of the wall would have small drains leading to the outside of the wall. Oil could be poured through these and would splash down the side of the wall. I've included a little mock-up below. The attached .dat file is a simple barrel tipping arrangement and the drain mockup. 0 Tip a Barrel 0 Name: BarrelTip.dat 0 Author: Gino A.

They were called murder holes or drop boxes and often emptied into cleared courtyards (killing field) where the enemy couldnt shield themselves from (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)
