AOE damage weapons.

Please add a siege weapon with a mass attack against units, such as onagers or, at worst, some kind of throwers of burning oil pots across the area.

Onagers were not common at this timeframe.

Bolt shooters do this, but they are very slow and inconvenient to use

How about scythe chariots and elephants?

I suggested a melee mode for the scythed chariot.

eles are now an area of effect unit (in part)

Catapults used to do plenty of splash damage, but this became a little too op in cases, so it was removed. I would support a very tiny splash radius so that catas can kill units that are very close/overlapping. (especially since they are nerfed now with a range of 85 meters.)

bolt shooters are cool, with linear splash and everything,  but they are difficult to balance, with a very strong snowball with increasing numbers. I feel dread just recalling the brief "bolt meta".

if they are to be buffed, it should be only by decreasing the damage dropoff for linear splash, so that their effectiveness is improved only conditionally. The condition being how bunched up the enemy is.

This feature is quite important.

Also the secondary attack.

Is there some sort of "trample damage" from chariots, elephants etc. implemented in alpha 26?

I don't think so. that's why Freagarach put a link to the current task.
