    Rams...
    First, in most cases rams are for toying with because they are there, but not really an efficient use of resources. Do not expect miracle with them. In certain conditions they are quite impressive. But the for the same upkeep 200k balls, or 1.1 million archers will generally serve you better.

    If you your rams are truly for damage output, go big or go home. They will get pounded by enemy range for many many rounds before they can attack back. Because of this, starting as close as you can is best, so against a compact defense works well (or at least best for rams).

    To attack with rams against a CD, layers are very important, you want to give the enemy range a lot of mini-layers to hit for as long as possible. So basically, you want a layers of everything, including transports..

    You want to avoid a 5k defense, your layers do little/no good then, and the enemy range will be ripping apart your rams for many round. Enough Archer and a big enough hero, your rams will never get a chance to do a darn thing.

    Here is a failed attack with a ram, though the attack pattern was sound for a what I had when he scouted, I was online (playing possum) and switch to 5k (was CD) last second and pulled my foot layers out.

    So in a nutshell, fun to use, but like a cav/cataph smack, you can loose everything in a blink killing nothing, if your opponent is on and knows the battle system.

    I use 90000 rams with 20000 ballista and scout. It works very well.
