That is fair, though I am not suggesting my idea because they are weak, but rather because I think it is interesting and a way to add some nuance to them

Understood. But someone else suggested they were weak relative to cost and Dakara, I think, was responding from a balance perspective. 

Siege Towers are weird because they were important historically, so they’re in the game, but it’s difficult to accurately portray that historical usage in the current game. 

Personally, I think siege towers should be revamped to provide special building capturing capabilities, which would be a nod to their historical usage.

Anyways, I think what you suggested has been suggested before. I don’t recall why it didn’t go anywhere, though.

Yes, they currently function like mobile defense towers, which is not how they were used historically. 

I think it would be rather boring to make them just be able to let infantry scale walls, like in Age of Empires 2 DE. Especially since walls are heavily underused in this game.

If we decide to do it, then we should make them a lot cheaper.
