Default Re: Siege Units

To sum this up, it seems that you think that it is too easy to break down castle walls, and would rather give defender easy ways to destroy the siege engines that would do most of the wall-breaking job. I don't think such a chance is needed.

The siege engines would also have a role in the battlefield, by targeting enemy rear (hopefully just archers, because fire at mages/commanders was removed for a reason). There could also be different effects for different nations, even though this would probably be an even lesser consern as siege engines won't be used much on the battlefield any way.
I don't think we need ranged units that spesifically target enemy archers, and national differences can be emphasized in other ways as well. If siege engines were implemented, I don't see why these changes couldn't be added, as well.

I quess it comes down to whether a change is needed. Matter of taste.
