kinda surprised I didn't reply with the one and only real answer

rams aren't worth it imho. Once you get them on the way to a good target they can stack a large enough infantry layer to slow them down and they are toast. Cavalry give the best bang for the buck and own on this game. - M.
It's relatively easy to utterly demolish ram attacks simply by reinforcing alot of archers, dropping traps, and having a sizable cav/phract force in that city. I've seen an expertly layered 118k ram attack fail miserably agaisnt a city with 280k phracts as a defensive layer along with a full alliance reinforcement of archers. All rams dead, in 2 rounds, with only 70k phract losses. The poor sod didnt even kill 10% of the defending force and thus got no report back. He damn near **** his pants and fled the state so fast he left an after burn on yer retina.
I believe some research needs to be done into catapults before we can say anything,
to my knowledge no-one has ever managed to send a 100k pult wave......
