Yeah the siege for AoM is funny, they have 4 types of siege (tower/ram, ram, catapult, ballista) but each civ only gets 2 or maybe 3 of these. For example I think the Odin Showcase said the Norse get portable rams and ballistas.

I love trebs. I very much prefer long range siege weapons to the melee kinds. Besides, trebs are easy to kill. Look at your example, he may have killed 2 or 3 castles but you managed to kill 20 of his trebs. Try counting how much that costs.

I'm going to go the other way of some of you and say that I hope that late game defenses are strong enough that you do need seige weapons to take them out. If defenses are to weak then no one will use siege weapons at all which wouldn't be very fun. In AoK defenses were still quite viable in the 4th Age so perhaps some of their value was just in slowing units down, regardless I would hope that defenses are viable and worthwhile in each age.
