Do you have one idea how many people is needed to position those stones we are launching in the city? No? - Well I don't know either

But it sure is more people than we can add in the EDU (due to the engine)

The point here is that if you loose some soldier's you can still use the equipment, In that way it could be used in battle (as it was used) like in the case in siege's of ancient times.
If you loose some people you have an option tu use just 50% of equipment or 20% - that is closer to nicer look's, historical accuracy, realism and the VALUE of SIEGE that you need to PAY and MAINTAINE
