Why is that even after i wasted all of the archer groups arrows the siege tower will not catch fire!!!

Because it would be too easy to win otherwise i think, and most of the time it rains on the battlefield, could be because of that. There is a submod wich improves the weather, it might also solve your problem. Search for it.

it is nice to be able to burn siege weapons as long as its not too easy, it adds a certain amount of tension to the game, I did write a small submod that allows burnable rams and towers but its not compatable with 3.1, I will edit it and post here with explanation of how to alter it to your own tastes. Give me a few days though as I am really busy at the mo.

Because any besieging army worth it's salt wouldn't build siege equipment made out of cardboard and matchsticks. They would be heavy beams, thick planks and hides soaked in water.

Not easy to burn.

Always have at least some cavalry in your frontier settlements. When an enemy besieges you, use them! Cavalry is useless for street fighting anyway. Use them to charge siege weapons: the defending troops will be forced to drop them to fight back giving your archers and wall defences time to do more damage. As is always the case with cavalry use hit and run tactics, don't let them get stuck in melee. Obviously this strategy is less useful against cavalry heavy factions.
