When you place down a banner in a gold/silver/bronze block, you have the option to turn on or off the banner protection. Here I suggest a third option, similiar to the adventure mode we have in vanilla Minecraft: the Siege Mode! In this option gates and doors can be broken, and ladders and fire can be put on blocks.

It is well known that siege engines are planned, so, when catapults and rams are added, only those will be capable of destroying blocks and gates (maybe some wooden gates could still be destroyed by axes), meanwhile, pickaxes and axes will have to do. But I also think that it should take much more time (during siege mode) to destroy gates.

PS: Wouldn't it be easier for sieges, if gates were entities instead of solid blocks?
