why so much tanky even against sword? why 3 pop for so much hp? and also the damage is insane

All siege are OP now

Only rams are reasonable. Bolts, Catas and Siege Towers are just mega OP, but catas are nerfed compared to A23 in that their pathfinder is totally broken. 

Catapults should we weaker vs sword, by default.

Here is the deal:

Improve the pathfinding of seige so they look less buggy, but: decrease some of their pierce armour. 

Catapults are kind of OK but Siege Towers are just insanely OP now. They are too tanky vs sword units and deal way too much damage. Without some GUI mods, it's hard to see their roots so that your units disappear into their model by overlapping.

I tested siege towers in a match and it seemed to be a very bad strategy. As they target only one target they suffer from overshooting now. Could you provide replays with matches where siege towers prove to be OP?

sword cavs cannot take them down

you need a sizeable number. Ive seen immortals take them down pretty effectively in the melee mode.

Rams are pretty good, you can garrison them for some extra speed. With swords inside, its pretty good.

Also, in many games you can take advantage of their extremely slow mobility by cutting losses and attacking other places/players.

Thanks for the replay. In my opinion it doesn't prove that siege towers are OP, but slow and weak. In two cases you fight the big siege tower army with a smaller army which doesn't contain enough melee units. So it's not a big surprise that the siege towers win.

In the end, the siege tower army gets defeated by the usage of a mixed army with some siege weapons and a small number of sword cavalry. Again, this doesn't look like the fact that siege towers are OP.

However, it's remarkable that in this match a big army of Alexandre flees from the siege towers. At the other hand the siege tower army was also big. It might have been the right decision to retreat, but maybe he could have won if he would have commited his spearmen to bring the siege towers down.
