I don't know if it is a bad idea or not, but I will post it on modding union if it is supported.
I was playing Rohan yesterday and I noticed that since Rohan's army, moreso late game, is mainly composed of cavalry and is therefore very mobile and fast. However, its siege engines are slow and often lag way behind the main army causing you to wait for your siege to catch up to attack an enemy base. So I thought of the idea, what if the Rohan onager was instead horse drawn and mobile. A rohan player could take the Rohan onager to quickly follow up behind their main cavalry army to be ready to siege when the Rohan army arrives. There would be some kind of limber/unlimber mechanism so that the onager first has to unlimber before it can fire and then limber back up again when it wants to move quickly. (It can move while unlimbered too it'd just be pushed by the peasants like a normal slow siege engine) I believe this would be balanced because the Rohan onager doesn't get an ammunition upgrade, while at the same time it would allow Rohan's siege some more maneuverability and encourage fast attacking. Thoughts?
