Bring back ladders in seige!

Please, bring back ladders in seige, I am forced to take the "commoners path" and it sucks, the archers always know where you are. the whole flanking tactic has been abolished in seige servers. it forces non shielders like me to funnel themselves into archers kill-galore-death-walkway
I understand that in rageball and to a lesser degree battle, ladders are ridiculous and that taking them from that is fair game, but its less fun and less creative not placing your own ladders in seige. It also takes away the ability to practice seige battles in non strategus games, thus making strategus seige battles less preparable.
I would be glad if you took this into consideration and if the ladder revival is impossible, then can you at least include a substitute
Thanks for spending your time reading this.

P.S wicked job with everything else though guys, I am addicted to rageball, and hopefully want to see a clan rageball tourney =)

According to me, ladders in siege are one of the things that makes the common cRPG-siege (not strategus) better that Native.

Siege is predictable and boring without ladders.
Maybe you are not bad, but you are a boring person. Well, that's the end of the matter.

But you could use them as a ramp to get on the walls with your horse more often than now.

I thought that the removal of ladders only included battle, and not siege. Ladders in battle are kinda retarded, but ladders in siege is more logic, I mean its a fucking castle, you need to climb up walls, and the default ladders and siege eq. can easly be camped by the enemy so you get spawn killed, place 3 great mauls at the default ladder opening and you got a massacre.

This
Bring back ladders (adds more variety and encourages tactical approaches), BUT strictly limit them to 3 ladder placements per round.
When those are placed cleverly, they add fun, when they are destroyed, they are gone. Period.
Anything else leads to the freaking ladder spam that we had before...

Yes, I want them back in both siege and battle. Just add them back wisely (limit them, make them indestructable in battle or something to avoid unreachable delaying and such).

Ah... forgot add reason.

Tactics and creativity. Fun.
