I've noticed that except for the AI's ridiculous tendency to sit there and take it when defending, siege weaponry is mostly superfluous on the field. They'll do damage, and they'll wear down morale, but they are not cost-effective as field weapons. One notable exception is the bridge battle, of course, and that using siege weapons during one is a simple pleasure. Still, those are few and far between.
One note on scorpions, though: they're actually useful in attacking stone-walled cities. They do a helpful job of removing defenders from the walls prior to using siege towers or moving in past archers.

I am now using the SPQR mod, where there are no repeating balistas and scorpions & balistae have 4 pieces per unit and they are definatly worth while. I recommend any1 using vanilla changes thebgame to give double the firepower per unit![]()

Anyone know what file it is in so I can change without getting a major mod?
