Improved Siege Warfare

Welcome to the Improved Siege Warfare!
With this mod I aim to make sieges more realistic and challenging.
All of the tests you see on the screenshots were conducted under the same conditions to ensure a fair test and comparison.

-Ladders are now easier to set ablaze, so you will either have to rush them to the walls quickly and often use higher quality troops to do so in order to take the walls, or wait a turn or 2 to build some siege towers
-Onagers can now one-shot wooden watchtowers
-Arrow Towers fire twice as fast
-Wooden gatehouses are now twice as hard to set ablaze
-Good luck trying to burn brazen gates now

The tests were conducted in the following manner
Ladder test:
1 unit of standard hellenic archers firing flaming arrows
Watchtower test:
1 unit of standard hellenic onager firing at a watchtower
Gatehouse test:
1 volley of torches

This mod now prevents somewhat the massive blitz you could do before(you could basically take walled settlements like villages) because you may have to sit a turn or 2 to build siege towers since ladders are now much easier to set ablaze which also gives some time to possible reinforcements to arrive(If you have a massive army against a garisson of 200 you will still take the settlement like a village).
Siege Artillery has now become more important for a successful siege.
And makes the defenders advantage during a walled city assault clearer and a small garisson now actually has some chances of repelling the attackers.
