Strategic Analysis
The Siege Workshop is essential for breaking fortified positions. Siege weapons are the hard counters to buildings, walls, and massed infantry or archers.
- Rams for Buildings: Battering Rams are the most cost-effective way to destroy production buildings and Town Centers. Garrison infantry inside for bonus attack.
- Mangonels vs Archers: Mangonels deal devastating area damage to archer groups. Position them behind your army and micro carefully to avoid friendly fire.
- Scorpions for Infantry: Scorpions deal pass-through damage, making them excellent against tightly packed infantry. They also outrange most units.
- Bombard Cannons: Available in Imperial Age, Bombard Cannons destroy buildings from safe range and are essential for taking down Castles.
Warning: Siege units are slow and vulnerable to cavalry raids. Always escort your siege with infantry or cavalry to protect them.
