Hihi,
I ve been playing around with engineering a bit lately, and my conclusion is that its pretty useless atm in normal sieges.
By the time you have a siege tower deployed too many minutes will have past for it to be of any use even when build by multiple persons.
Havent been able to test a cata on a siege server yet but the same goes for that, takes a very long time to set up and thus wont be of any use anymore. (apart from the fact that its expensive as hell)
There are 2 options for this:
1) Some balancing so its possible to set up faster,
2) Implementing a engineer skill so you can be a dedicated engineer. (this could be interesting for strategus since you would need players with engineer class on their main character to use catapults.)
For example you could get str agi and int, and then skillpoints in catapult/ siegetower/ support builds (and i heard rumors about battering rams/ ballista's coming to the game). Skillpoints in material efficiency would also be possible for faster building.
im not asking for instant siegetowers and massive cata spams, but to make it possible to play as an engineer and add some options to siege.
Let me know what you all think about this ^^
