Epic Sieges enhances siege battles by changing a few siege related parameters. Ladders full of attackers can be pushed down by defenders, siege towers and battering rams are more durable, and gates last longer. Barricades are easier to destroy, making strategy and player skill vital in longer, more intense sieges.

Version 1.0.1
Reverted the battering ram to its original HP value 20000 instead of 30000, so defenders have more chance to destroy it before it reaches the gates. It was way too strong before.
Epic Sieges aims to transform vanilla boring and fast sieges in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord into a more realistic, challenging, and strategic experience. The mod introduces several key changes to both siege equipment and defensive structures, making battles longer, more intense, and rewarding for players who use tactical thinking.
Features:
Pushable Ladders: Inspired by iconic sieges, soldiers on the walls can now push ladders down even when they are full of attackers climbing. This makes it significantly harder for attackers to scale the walls, adding a chaotic element to the battle. The unpredictability of ladders means they should only be used as a last resort, while investing in siege towers becomes crucial for a more reliable breach. Siege towers provide a safer, more strategic approach to reaching the enemy walls, as ladders can be easily countered by a well-organized defense.
Reinforced Siege Towers & Battering Rams: Siege towers and battering rams are slower but have significantly increased HP, meaning they are no longer destroyed as quickly. This allows attackers to maintain momentum while defenders must focus on wearing them down.
Stronger Gates: Outer and inner gates are now much tougher, requiring more effort to breach. This change emphasizes the importance of siege equipment and planning to break through fortified defenses.
Weaker Barricades: Barricades have slightly reduced HP.
Adjusted Castle Wall Mass.
Gameplay Impact:These changes encourage longer, more strategic sieges where every decision counts. Defenders will need to coordinate well to repel attackers, and attackers will need to make smart use of their equipment to break through defenses. Both AI and player involvement are enhanced, creating more epic, cinematic siege battles reminiscent of classic medieval warfare.
