    Default Defence against ram bombs

    does any one know how to defend against ram bombs?

    Having massive prestige generally means you are a great farmer with lots of troops but doesn't mean they know how to use them.

    from what i've heard LOTS of cavalry/Phracts and LOTS of Archers. I think this defense would work best with no Traps/Abs, I could be wrong tho

    Rams are slow but have a ton of life. Lots of ranged defensive troops, traps+abs is the best way to kill them.

    Hmm....guess the best would be to have a lot of catapults/archers/cavs/phracts + thick layers

    but i don't think abatis will do anything against rams




    Thanks

    Because rams are so slow, having the 5k's in your defence really helps against them because it gives your ranged troops plenty of time to kill 'em.

    Your correct as well, but not entirely, the 5k range is only triggered with abatis if the attacker has calvary. if he doesnt, then you need to have traps to get the 5k range.

    So abatis for horsies
    traps for everything else

    He was wrong on what determines combat starting distance. If there is at least 1 abatis, combat will start at max distance every time regardless of what is attacking.

    im not sure if its different elsewhere, but abatis is only triggered if calv and phracts are presented. traps are triggered by anything

    Not true, abatis create 5k range no matter what is sent. They aren't "triggered" but the range is still set by them.
