I ussually don't buy new siege engines, but make sure I don't lose the ones I start with.  For assaulting capitals, massed siege engines are good to have.  In my experience, capital assaults are done by two or more players who pool their catapults.  If this is how things go for you, then you won't need to buy extras.
