Gun Powder
Our manor will use a catapult to fling a dead animal corpse (usually a horse) over the manor walls, hoping that we will spread disease to the invaders
Our manor has a holy relic that belonged to a saint, and when bringing it into battle, it is supposed to give us power and a spiritual weapon
Strategies
Murder Holes: holes that are in the roof of an entrance between two portcullises. defenders of the castle would trap the attackers between the two portcullises in the entrances. Could then pour boiling water or oil through the holes onto the attackers to kill or seriously injure
Communication was done with music signals, talking, messengers, and visual signals (flags/banners)
