GOW's Realistic Siege - no center Rush

It's back! That essential mod that makes siege battles actual siege battles and not caputre the flag!

(1) This mod DRASTICALLY increases the time it takes to capture a city's center (it now takes approximately 166 times as long to capture).

What this does is essentially forces you (and the AI) to fight the siege to the bitter end. No longer will you have to worry about that one AI unit slipping past your walls and camping the center, forcing you to instantly respond or lose. The siege battle will no longer feel like a game of capture the flag with the AI yelling "base!" - it will now feel like a siege. Fight out the battle on the walls, then regroup with whatever units you have left and try to retake the city center!

Note: If you're using a battle time limit, this mod is basically a cheat since the AI won't be able to capture your city before the time limit ends. But, imo, if you're going for realism (which this mod attempts to achieve) you shouldn't be using a battle time limit anyway.

(2) It is now MUCH faster to capture (and lose) control of a tower on your siege wall (the thing that shoots bullets, beer kegs, bats, etc. at approaching armies).

If you're in control, you'll get it right away. If you move off (or the enemy kills you off) you'll lose control of it. I did this because the unit is supposed to be running the tower. So how is the tower still working when they leave? And you'll be able to start shooting right away :)

This mod won't affect anything else, is save game compatible, and was very well liked in TW1. It's not available from the start of TW2.

Enjoy :)
