More Consistent Siege Attackers

He used to be the only foot lord with the "siege attacker" trait. The great Tariff even made a video recently about it. youtu.be/EbWgyM7xmfY

It sort of makes sense considering just how damn old and unique he is among his kind, plus having been a unique trait of his since the first game. I'm just throwing the idea out there as a fun little suggestion, but the decision is up to you, Boss.

@King of Fools : Anything that is human size would logically not be capable of the necessary concussive force to bash gates open.

Even if he is a vampire with superhuman strength, he is not comparable to something like Taurox; a giant bull whose speciality is ramming.

What's your opinion on Vlad and his Siege Attacker ability? (Used to be unique until CA gave Siege Attacker to everyone).

I am not the creator of More Thematic Wallbreakers, you would have to take that up to them. There is a specific DB entry for Tamurkhan mounted on Bubebolos which is the one I kept Siege Attacker for.

For those who concern, it is Not work with SFO, unit like the ROR chaos spawn which SFO change it into single entity become 16 entities with extreme hit point (x16)

does this work with SFO?

That includes the units covered by More Thematic Wallbreakers, btw. Most of which are giant single entity monsters.

Thanks for the showcase! Appreciate it.

Miners don't have Siege Attacker in vanilla as far as I know, only the "Good Against Gates" attribute. Adding Siege Attacker for them could be a thing, although that would trivialize most if not all Dwarf campaigns by removing the incentive to build siege equipments (Miners being the cheapest and most accessible unit for Dwarfs). That would be more immersive, but would also go against the idea of the mod.

As for units with Wallbreaker, most of them are either giant single entity monsters or warmachines meaning they retain Siege Attacker in this mod. Those that are not are part of the Ogre Kingdoms roster, which is not covered by the mod (because of their inability to build siege equipment).

Warp-Grinders are currently the only exception where they retain Siege Attacker. They are a tier 2 unit so I decided to leave it like in vanilla.

@Antagonistes I made a short showcase for your excellent mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESOf_HBzSjA . Hopefully, I did justice to it. Thanks again for your work.

The only other question that came up during testing was whether units like Miners, particularly those which get the Wallbreaker trait added, should retain Siege Attacker. Have you considered that?

@Antagonistes Thanks for the fast reply. Leave it to me to find the weird unexpected exceptions, that was always something I had a knack for back in my programming days.

Your explanation makes sense and I think your solution is the best one. A bit odd that CA would hardcode that trait, but I'm not surprised considering all the trouble they've got with sieges in general. They may have needed to do that for the AI.
