Judging from the available upgrades, I'd say they are in a special category; they might be the very first Siege Infantry in the Age series.

They cannot be affected by armor (or even weapon) upgrades for either category; combine this with the fact they are boosted by Siegecraft, cause extra damage vs fortifications (while also having neat pierce armor) and are available from the Barracks.

Unless proved otherwise, I believe we could list it among Siege Infantry.
