Plan and execution
Build a group with production close enough to reinforce the push. Escort the Rams with units that intercept melee defenders, then focus the same Castle or production building until it falls. Use the resulting opening to move the army and create more targets.
Risks and adaptation
Melee units remain an effective answer, and the upgrade costs resources that may be needed elsewhere. Do not send Rams ahead of the army or attack a fortified position before securing the approach.
