Notes on using Laddermen and Siege Towers:
(Only available in multiplayer modes)
Laddermen:
Laddermen are created at the siege camp.
Laddermen have 1 ladder which they can place against stone walls by targeting the walls and right-clicking.
Ladders are placed on the wall depending on where you have the camera focused, the same way stairs are placed.
All troops can move up and down ladders to gain access to walls.
Laddermen will return to the siege camp for another ladder after placing theirs against a wall.
Laddermen can also slide ladders down the far side of walls from on top of them using the same method as placing them against the walls.
All troops can push ladders off walls.
Ladders are automatically destroyed after 2-3 days
Siege Towers:
Siege towers are created at the siege camp.
Siege towers can be docked against stone walls by targeting the wall and right-clicking.
Units can be placed on siege towers and will fire missiles as the siege towers moves to its location.
Once the siege tower is docked against a wall, units can climb up and down it to gain access to the walls.
Notes on using Attack Move
Normally when sending troops to a destination they will ignore enemies they encounter and always attempt to reach their destination despite sustaining damage.
If you hold CTRL when selecting a destination your troops will retaliate if they encounter troops along the way.
After killing the enemies your troops will then continue to their destination as originally commanded.
