Siege units do a fixed base percentage reduction, which is usually
less than the relative percentage damage from before.
Walls and Castles reduce bombardment effects. Bunkers reduce air
bombardment.
Gunpowder units bypass walls, so they'll smash down faster than
others. Once you get to cannon, it isn't too hard to crash through.
Because siege weapons no longer kill other units so easily, you
can't use just a stack of them to take cities. But they are still
essential to defeat large defending stacks.
