a question about siege towers

[Marquis of Roland]

the engineers are slowly roasting over a low flame right now....

Anyhow, I figured out how to get around that. When the siege tower ramp opens, you need to run your unit onto the wall to a point not directly adjacent to the ramp, and the men will run off the ramp instead of falling down. This won't work if there's an enemy unit on the wall blocking your path though.

You know I've never had that particular, um, quirk of RTW rear it's head in any of the sieges I've played.

same here, i say. I always used siege towers to face off unit-guarded walls. Never needed to waste the build point to make a siege tower just so i could use it on unguarded segments--had ladders for that.
