Can just use the Han structural texture and add the "Chinese" roofline to the top of the ram.

"Chinese" roofline? I meant that the Chinese use a Greek-model ram in their siege workshop.

Regarding appearance, Wikipedia has an article.

eeeeyes. I'm just musing on how we can make a new ram model look Chinese, by reusing some artistic motifs. 

Using a good Chinese reference.

I already have the perfect design. But since I am retired from drawing I can only show the inspiration I would base it on.

it would have to be like the 2 last references capped machine + siege battering ram.

At least to make it like the other machines in the game.

 

I read somewhere that they had a metal head.

 

"The Chinese ram used an iron-plated head. After the introduction of gunpowder it added a cannon as well."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_siege_weapons

but the reference of that is from:

"Turnbull, Stephen (2002), Siege Weapons of the Far East (2) AD 960-1644, Osprey Publishing".
