    Default Setting stuff on fire

    Hi. This is a a thing that I've been wondering for a long time: is the process of setting battering rams and the like on fire random (like there's a chance to catch fire every time it's hit by a flaming arrow) or not (it has to be hit by x flaming arrows before it starts burning) ?

    Not sure about the exact numbers, but it took about a third of a single Toxotai unit's ammo to set a tower alight...

    cant be completely random because when I play it always takes some time before it sets fire.

    The more siege engines the higher the risk of fire, is all I have worked out. Totherwise it seems random

    It seems random enough to appear random, but I've never had every engine burnt down, nor every one unscathed assuming at least stone walls and a couple archer units.

    I think it's completely random, sometimes they burn at the first volley, and sometimes they won't burn with 20 archer units shooting on it constantly
