How do you burn enemy siege equipment ?

[Didz]

Hmm! I've had some luck burning seige equipment. In my last campaign Dvor archers managed to burn the Mongols only Ram before it reached my gate effectively ending the assault before it began as the Mongols only had a few infantry and their horses couldn't climb ladders.

Likewise last nght a French seige tower was burnt by Venecian Archers just after it reached the walls but before the ramp dropped burning most of the Frenchmen inside it to death.

I have never seen ladder's burn, which is one reason I always build a few of them for my assaults.

As for seige engines, I saw a French Trebuchet go up in smoke last night, but normally I don't bother using fire arrows on them and this one must have been burnt by my towers. Personally, I find its quicker and more permanent if you kill the crews with normal missile fire or smash them with rocks and cannon balls.
