Re: Destroying siege equipment
It's easy to knock the ladders down from the walls (unfortunately you cannot do it from the top of the walls), but they are not destroyed (I thought they were). You can try to destroy them once the ladders are on the floor, but it seems it takes ages.
You can pick up the enemy ladders, but can't get them into the city As soon as you order your soldiers to move behind the walls with the ladders, they drop it. A bug?
BTW, I'm playing 1.3

Would be fun to steal enemy siege equipement (But being able to do so would probubly mean you can win anyway).

Yep, that's what happens in city sieges. In multilayer sieges, it is possible to carry them all the way in though :yes:

Never take ladders off of your walls. You *want* them to use ladders.
Siege towers are the most deadly as they allow the greatest amount of troops to reach your walls. If you have a catapult defending the gate the best thing is to trap them in a kill zone after the breach the gate.

Well, I consider taking the ladders off of the walls to be a somewhat academic issue, since as someone already mentioned, if you are strong enough to go out and take the ladders, you are certainly strong enough to defeat the enemy without dirty tricks ~D
Although stealing someone's ladders in multiplayer can make your day ~D
