Put siege engines automatically in reserve

[niekdegrijze]

if I decide to destroy the walls. I need to build 4 siege engines, keep them in reserve and deploy them in one go or they get destroyed. To do this I have to manually stop the time if one is complete, put it in reserve en restart the time. You have to this with every engine.
It would be a better solution to put them automatically in reserve.

I don't stop the time. They are going to take one volley even if you pause and remove them. The millisecond they complete the wall engines attack and you take a volley - they will just attack and empty spot but your siege engines still take the damage. But I do agree - we should be able to build them in reserve but only the mobile ones like onagers and ballistae. Trebuchets were not generally wheeled into position as they were massive constructs and had to be built in place. But they were also usually built far outside the range of castle defenses due to their ability to hurl stuff that far. I think the trebuchets should have their own line like the ram and siege towers which can't be attacked from the wall defenses, but should also take a lot longer to build. In the words of King Edward in Outlaw King: "Also, it took three months to build so I don't want to waste it."
