Worthless piece of wood

[carnivore]

As might have guessed , i am talking about the Ram in the ss 5.0
With the new boiling oil implented , the ram is practicly worthless
the gates are very very strong and even with 5 rams you cannot breach them because the ram is burned after a few seconds
Is there a way to rebalanced it ?

thanx for great mod (love the new AI )

[Caesar Clivus]

I just dont use rams and I haven't for a long time. And the introduction of boiling oil gives me even more reason not to

I just make extra ladders to get more units onto the walls quicker so that they can take the gate and open it for my other forces.

What about the AI... will they be stupid enough as they used to in RTW to stand there with out doing nothing while the boiling oil kill them all?

[TempestKhan]

nope but if u block the gateway an the ai dont have a large force to make the push then they will get some oil showers

[TheFirstONeill]

Rams are best used only on wooden walls, just dont use then on stone walled settlements

[Rockstone]

I use catapults and cannons on the walls and sometimes on the door. Very useful and no problem with burning oil.

No mi amigos , the problem here is not the Humen player , its with the PC player

he sends all his troops to one ladder , they all die and this way cities would never fall to the computer

even sieging simple wall of wood the useless ram gets on fire
re balancing is needed

If it's possible you could change how much damage the ram does each time it hits the gate.
