Engineer's Guild/Stronghold Crusader

The Engineer's Guild allows the recruitment of engineers and laddermen for gold. Engineers can man and unman siege engines, as well as construct new ones on ground level in the form of a siege tent. An engineer can also carry pots of boiling oil around and pour them at a location in front of them.
Freshly recruited troops gather at the designated training grounds, unless an assembly point is set. A rally point can be placed to a custom location per troop after pressing the corresponding number key (1-2), which can be reset to the guild itself.
Siege engines on the field can be constructed on a free location for gold, which may require multiple engineers to operate. Upon construction, engineers will try to man them if enough manpower is supplied. When unmanning a tower engine, engineers automatically go back to their assembly points. If a manned siege engine is destroyed, its operators are also lost.
Engineers can also visit an oil smelter for fresh pots, if one is assigned with loading the cauldron with pitch. When they unload their pots, they run back to the smelter to refill it.
