Siege Units

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).

That was true for simple siege equipment during the earliest uses, but further into medieval times the equipment was built and then moved. In the 4th century BC engineers in the armies of Philip of Macedon and of his son, Alexander the Great, built mobile siege towers which were taken on campaign.

Would be interesting to watch units scale the walls... maybe Dominions_4.

Saber Cherry said: but mobile siege units is more "Warcraft" than "Dominions".

My last warcraft game was Warcraft_2 which was over 5 years ago. My point is in relation with history and the only time fortifications haven't seen siege equipment was around 2000BC and earlier. Since Dominions has 3 unique eras it seems only logical for siege equipment to exist within at least one of the eras. Siege units were part of history for many nations and since many aspects of Dominions is from history their existence seems only logical.
