It is quite hard to be able to destroy siege engines on the battlefield, without new commands that would be added in.

Of course it should be hard otherwise these uncommon units wouldn't have much long term value. The only units which should get unique commands for attacking siege units would be anti-siege units as mentioned earlier.
Siege weapons had no long-term value. Nobody carried battering rams and siege towers from city to city, at least in countries with trees. All I know indicates that they're universally constructed on the spot (though I'm not an expert on the subject). It might be interesting to add grappling-hook special forces, or wall-climbing ninja, who can attack inside a castle during a siege... but mobile siege units is more "Warcraft" than "Dominions".
