The ladderman is a siege unit that spawns with a ladder upon recruitment. He moves very slowly and can set up his ladders against an open wall section or a gatehouse by issuing an attack command from the ground. Any unmounted unit can utilize ladders.
Ladders can be broken by attacking them with melee units, siege engines or fire. Any unit on them may fall to their death when this occurs.
The ladderman is recruited at the siege camp. Here the ladderman can equip an additional ladder when he has none at hand.
