In many siegemaps, siege ladders, because of their length, are the only way to make a new entrance to the sieged castle.
Since Siege Ladders now use 3 slots, you hardly ever see them anymore.
Most polearms and every 2handed sword need at least 2 slots. so if you're specialized on one of those you can either bring a weapon or a siege ladder with you, guess what everyone takes...
I also hated those skyladders, but no ladders at all isn't an improvement either.
They made the attacks much more interessting, because you could attack in different ways.
Also i think many of the recent created siegemaps were designed for an attacker with siegeladders and are quite difficult without.
So i think it would be necessary to bring them back into the game and make them use only two slots.
what do you think about it?
