Invincible AI siege towers

[Arghy]

So i started a bhyzantine game and about 70 turns in constaniople nearly turned into istanbul when a jihad got called on it. I went through 14 siege defences with large stone walls and ballista towers, i had almost every time 4 treb archers and 4 militia archers yet not once in all those defenses have i EVER lit a siege tower on fire--it was perfect weather every time also.

I just tried to siege 4 hungarian towns/castles and every single time my towers went up in flames almost instantly--it dident matter that it was a blizzard nor pouring rain. Now vanilla MTW2 i know there was a slight adjustment in the AI's favor in their siege towers resistance to flame but they dident have a damn bonus. I think its pretty ing outrageous to see a siege tower take 2 flaming ballista bolts and 8 archer units shooting flaming arrows at it and it trundles through like its nothing while your towers seem to continually catch fire once half your unit has gotten in it.

I often lit their ram, wait for they to attack the walls, throw them back, then destroy the equipement (now unguarded) with infantry. The AI often focusses on one piece of equipement after the ram has fallen, so destroy all the other, then hail death down upon ther soldiers waiting to get slaughtered on the walls. Don't try to lit a siege tower, it won't get destroyed. Unless you have some trebs, in that case, two stone balls will do in most cases.

Use trebuchets for seige towers, Use your archers to focus fire general and important units. Hire some really cheap light cavalry aswell and when seige starts send it out and try to delay all the seige towers so your trebuchets can hit there targets. Then once your out of ammo use some deseased cows on the army infront of the gate.

Hah i cant even imagine destroying the ram as the new model is even smaller and your archers seem to have horrible aim. The biggest siege engine i have is a cat thats because the goddamn pope made my staunch ally(knights templar) turn against me while hungaria and venice tag teamed me from the north. This would have been fine if all the muslim factions hadent decided now was a good time to assault my lands.
