Siege units

[Slasky]

Hello, I'm playign as the Iceni but i cant figure out how to get hold of any siege units. When/what do i need in order to recruit onagers and ballistas?

[FlashHeart07]

Most likely they are reform units meaning it will take you quite awhile to get any

Barbarians need reforms and the level 4 main barracks building. Also they only have access to scorpions and ballistas.

You can capture enemy siege units in battle, can't you?
Despite playing a lot of Rome II (mostly with DeI) I'm still not sure exactly how this mechanic works, but I'm sure you need an open slot in your army.

If you have an open slot in your army, and kill every man in an enemy siege unit but leave the equipment intact, you will capture one or two of the siege equipment.

You can not get a full troop contingent on it, and I believe it is just limited to a fraction of the full unit size. So it is better to make your own.

But, if you can't, in some situations one or two ballistae would be better than none.
