Traction Trebuchet long-range siege plan
Traction Trebuchet: Traction Trebuchets provide the Three Kingdoms with long-range pressure against buildings when other major siege options are unavailable. They can fire without the usual unpacking pause, but do not deal splash damage and may prioritize units in range.
Overview
Traction Trebuchet: Traction Trebuchets provide the Three Kingdoms with long-range pressure against buildings when other major siege options are unavailable. They can fire without the usual unpacking pause, but do not deal splash damage and may prioritize units in range.
Plan and execution
Bring a protecting army to establish vision and clear enemy troops near the target. Keep the Trebuchets behind the frontline, manually focus the building that blocks progress, and relocate when the opponent approaches. Use them to maintain siege pressure while the army secures the ground in front.
Risks and adaptation
The siege is vulnerable without protection and can waste shots on nearby units if left unattended. Do not expect one Trebuchet to clear a defended base or send it ahead of the army.
