Talk:Siege Tower (Age of Empires II)/@comment-4568558-20150503151252/@comment-4673267-20150504142732

You are right. My guess is that the developers of Forgotten Empires wanted to include the siege tower as a new siege workshop or castle unit, but scrapped that idea for some reason.

They included it in various scenarios instead, so that it wouldn't go to waste. But they paid no attention to the balance/in game performance of the unit.

What I find really curious is the pierce armor, which shows as 100 but has to be a much smaller value.
