nice img Quadrup ideas nice did some searching and i was shoked that theres such thing but wouldnt this make seige tower obselete and how does the ability work?

[Badnorth]

Hmm it only has 1 carry space and its not really durable so I think siege tower will still be superior.
When neear a wall it'll make it passable by putting a ladder.... only a single wall will be affected and the ladder will collapse or move to an other directiin if the scaling ladder moves or be destroyed..

[Badnorth]

But I dont think theres an ability like that and if its doable.

I can add team colors if this is a goo suggestion.

I actually think that this would be just like how bridge work, they are technically units that can exist with other units on the same tiles or the garisson units itself.

I've read somethin about this

They packed it too like other sieges and has a deployed ver so I made this plus new stats.

oh, i love those new sprites!
i will let the stats to you
i support this
how different is this in comparision to siege tower?

[Badnorth]

Does siege tower let units pass through walls ? I haven't tried it yet.
This siege machine would create a passageway through walls by setting a very tall ladder for infantry only idk how ability will work but if it is possible I think it'll be a hard thing to code ..

try siege tower on map editor
this should only be aviable on ancient structures like roman garrison, or nortic hall
