How to use
A siege weapon with 260 units of range: it hits an area and deals ×2.5 damage to lines. Helpless up close (it cannot hit close targets), so place it behind the line and cover it with spearmen. The best pick when you urgently need to knock down a palisade or wall.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strong against: lines, crowds of units, slow targets.
- Danger: riders, wolves, gryphons (air is out of reach for it).
- Works well with: spearmen and militia that keep the enemy away.
Price by castle level
A unit's price grows by 25% for every castle level above its tier: this makes higher-tier units a better deal than cheap ones.
