Siege warfare:

Medieval stone walls were difficult to break through, and catapults could only destroy wooden structures such as towers and battlements, making it difficult to inflict devastating damage on the walls (unless you only attack one point at any cost). This is also why so many lords built them. This situation did not change until Cannon was widely used. Afterwards, the castle became a fortress.

So classical artillery mainly focuses on personnel casualties or the gate/tower

The walls are more difficult to break through, and Classical artillery（like catapults） were difficult to knock down the stone walls (except for wooden walls). Only solid shells from later gunpowder guns can cause certain damage to stone walls (Great Bombard are very effective)

The Defense tower has been enhanced, divided into arrow tower and throwing tower, and The tower can be easily destroyed by them. So the classical artillery should prioritize attacking the defenders on the tower and walls

Trebuchets do 1% dmg to walls on each hit, is that a feature or a bug? I cannot even make one breach in the wall with 2 trebuchet units.

is there any way to remove the thrower towers in your own game? I find them too OP for defenders since they just obliterate attackers

Open my pack with RPFM, search earl_tower_stone_firepot, find the corresponding DB table, and modify it.The same goes for earl_tower_stone_rock

Great mod but help me to modify Fixed trebuchets. How to add them ability to move?
I dont have intensions to make them superfast or smt, but if army with fixed trebuchets are reinfotcement to attacker they just wont appear in battle, i think we need ability to move them, not very fast, but need, movable trebuchets move very slow btw so i can catch city with ledder or towers or wait 10 minutes to trebuchets to access range of fire. Help me with movabilities pls, witch RPFM tables should i change?
