Siege towers, ladders, siege shields...

Allow torches to set them on fire 

Would be great for strat sieges? No?

Add flaming arrows too. Poor range and accuracy, but can light structures on fire. (Not sure about people, maybe some damage over time and then it's gone perhaps? Or just nothing, or small one time damage.) (And finally something other for archers to do than shooting at me ;)

And add a water bucket mechanism, in which defenders must carry water to put out fires in the wooden parts of the defenses.

And same for attackers too, if they want to save their war machines from a fiery end.

I will burn you
heretick!

Fire would be a nice touch for the game...I'd suggest that wooden structures are not super dry timber though, and that  the fire eventually burns out (so you'd need multiple torches/arrows to fully destroy).

Would be nice to see this on strategus sieges, especially for the bugged wooden castles whose walls are indestructible from catapult fire.

That being said, you'd need a counter to them...like water buckets...

Also to add on to this suggestion for siege/strategus sieges...let the defenders have better defensive siege equipment that they can dump/throw over the walls onto the enemies.  Maybe also add scorpions to the defense siege engine options?

Even without an advanced fire mechanic, flaming arrows should be quite possible. Just make them be low cut damage (negative, even) and have awful missile speed (if arrows can affect that), so they would be useless against players, but have a static amount of damage that siege equipment takes when struck by them.

In order to balance them, make them fairly expensive, and buff the health of siege equipment (which it needs anyway).

Well... the idea is not bad, but allow torches and burning arrows to destroy wooden walls would make these castles kinda useless.
If this will be implemented some day, I´d suggest that only burning ammo of catapults can set wooden walls on fire.

Lol, perhaps even people trying to extinguish fire with beer?
I think in this case, many people would be willing to be set on fire
