Capped Ram escorted-building push
Capped Ram: Capped Rams absorb arrow fire and apply strong pressure to buildings, but melee units can destroy them quickly. They need a screen that controls the ground around the target.
Overview
Capped Ram: Capped Rams absorb arrow fire and apply strong pressure to buildings, but melee units can destroy them quickly. They need a screen that controls the ground around the target.
Plan and execution
Bring the Ram with infantry or cavalry, focus one wall or production building, and keep the escort close enough to intercept defenders. Use it to open a route for the army, then advance through the breach instead of leaving it alone at the wall.
Risks and adaptation
The Ram is vulnerable to melee attackers despite its pierce durability. Do not send it into a defended base without an escort or lose time repairing a stalled push under Castle fire.
