Siege mechanics in manual wrong?

[ano]

Mindless units crack walls really fast. Lankan soulless are the cheapest wall-breakers. I think, they don't really have a penalty for sieging, because Breaking is always easier than building

I have seen dozens of players use birds in mp games to siege, so it is not just llamabeast. But I did test them because i was considering using them for the 1st time and i wanted to see what bang i was getting for my buck(not being a trusting guy).

When using map edit commands I could not find any logical formula for sieging units verses the defending units.

What about the poor monkeys? Why doesn't anyone think of the monkeys!

[Xietor]

Excellent point Endoperez.

One way To help the Monkeys would be to give elephants a siege bonus since they are highly trainable and would likely be good in a siege.

I always imagined the birds were dropping rocks, not pecking at the walls!

Saulot: Your post made me laugh.

[Sombre]

Yes, let's boost elephants, they aren't good enough already ;]

[Lingchih]

I always imagined the birds were swooping in and pecking the eyes out of the defenders on the walls. Seems logical to me.

Well,

If you guestimate that the animal tag is worth -1.. this means that 20 hawks *.25 = 4.

Plus the greathawk 2.21 = 6. Round down. Seems to fit the data point.

But I'm too lazy to test it with 10 elephants.
