Perhaps they would be simpler to implement as a fortress expansion only? This way, the trolls will never have to move and just lean on their hands all the time (effectively, they will be decorations for the catapult on their backs). If possible, one can take this a bit further and allow the trolls to swing their hands and attack troops that come near them. This way it can be the ultimate expansion - being able to attack catapults/archers at a distance and melee troops at point blank and thus, effectively defending the fortress against a variety of attacks.

Sounds like a lot of work for such a fairly "small" thing. I never planned such trolls, so this is unlikely for SEE 

[Lauri]

Yeah, that doesn't seem worthwhile.

This is not entirely impossible. I made those trolls for my mod and they are not so bad. I made two different Siege Troll models: one when he walks (regular troll with a trebuchet on its back) and one when the troll is deployed and ready to attack. So the regular Siege Troll has the ability to deploy itself, or to be exact, to change in to different "object". When he changes he becomes the new object, he has mumakil idle animations and has a trebuchet on his back manned by two goblins, that trebuchet acts like trebuchet expansion. It is independent, cannot move or turn but can be selected and ordered what to attack. Only I changed its locomotor so it cannot turn left and right tooo much. It has some limitations but its doable...

Damn...    I wish you were a coder for SEE...  ​ 

[MorguLord]

I could give you the codes, no problem, if you actually want to make these trolls

[Nazgûl]

Thanks buddy. Atm I have no such plans though, but I might ask you for coding assistance in other areas as you seem to have skills beyond mine 

[Maximan]

if you guys want me to make a deploy animation for you guys, just tell me, since the mumakil one look a bit absurb with the stretching, no offence. I can also add one for the catapult where the orcs hold on to it, when the troll aren't in the deploy state

I can give you the models if you want to work on it, I could use it in my mod..
