Why isn't there any artillery available for custom battles?

Just like the title says, no factions have any sort of artillery to use in a custom battle. Why so? How can I rectify this?

do you mean gunpowder units or things like ballistas/catapults? I dont think canons and bombards were used in the time frame of BC.

[D.B. Cooper]

No, I mean trebuchets, catapults and the like. Those were definitely in BC's time frame, and they can be called artillery right?

Yeah it's on "all periods". Oh well. Guess we'll never know.

Look for siege unit's in export_descr_unit and delete no_custom at siege units. I guess it's removed from custom battles for good.

That did it, thanks!

Wonder why they took it out to begin with though.
