Default Re: Mod Project Idea: Historical References Mod

I like the idea of any mod that expands on or introduces more historical elements to the game. I've always wondered why siege machines (Onagers, Ballistas, Scorpions, seige towers, even later Greek fire wielding units) and associated units were not completely implemented by default other than on the ramparts of forts or as a seige attribute of certain units. Though I do see that the Byzantium mod includes Greek fire as a combat spell. Perhaps the developers thought it too complicated or unnecessary due to the extensive magic system.
