In my opinion Trebuchets are worthless. Why? I was recently attacked and the attacker sent 3 waves of warriors to take my trebuchets out. The cheapest troop able to get rid of the supposedly "best", most expensive, fortification? I do realize that the trebuchets "fire", and they have to be rebuilt after only able to fire once. And I also realize that they are the unit with the farthest reach. If you were the mayor of a city like this in real life would you waste your trebuchets on a weak unit like warriors? Hardly. That's what archer towers are for right? Makes no sense at all. I hope somebody reads this and sees the need to change this ridiculous flaw.
The game says they are great against siege weapons. Why not make them smarter, we get reports about who is coming, why would our trebuchets be left in the dark? Have them fire at ballistas and catapults. Make building these things worth it.
I'm not crying. I'm not mad that I got defeated, just mad that something that costs so much in resources can be defeated so easily.
Let me know what you think. Your input would be appreciated.
