Siege Trooper

The art of sieges isn't too developed in Royal Army, due to main opponents of Wesnoth haven't fortified castles - royal soldiers is ones who usually become besieged by orces or elves. Nevertheless, Royal Army has some detachments of siege troopers, in case they need to fight off fortress, which was captured by enemy. Since their purpose is capture the fortress without destroying it, they don't use powerful siege maschines like ones which used by dwarves and orces. Instead they use their knowledge about structure of the fortress to get iside and open the gates for allied forces.
