Battering Ram - effective use

[kharak]

As transporter and ballistas are used for lvl 1 to 5 NPC farming, could any experienced player post a war report, how to effectively use the battering ram.

I heard about the catapult used for lvl 6 without loss(but I never tried it) but I will really appreciate if someone could post a war report where Battering Ram is essentially used to mitigate losses.

Please share your knowledge!

there is no effective use for them... they're worthless

with a medium amount of them, say about 15000 they can put up a real fight with 8500 archer towers(it's a shame that i've deleted the battle report cause i want my report to be tidy+_+) only 5500 lost, they're used first in the battle, to destroy most of the enemy fortification then you can send advance troops, they do very much.They are the toughest unit in evony.

In the time you could build 15k rams you could build archers instead

archers are weaker, although they can be trained faster, but battering ram still better to be train, when you had a barrack city, you'll train them very fast^_^

Actually comparing Rams and archers, you can produce more archers, depending on what archery you have (If you have battering rams then you probably have decent archery) Also, archers kill more effectively and are faster, for what they cost.

Rams are slaughtered by NPc's too, which is where Ballistae come in.

because you didn't see its full potential, it's the first type of troop you should attack at the first wave, it will take down defendsivetrebuchet, rolling log, traps, archers tower(if it's fast enough)more than you know, archers are the secondary troop you should send(i use different type of unit at second wave). it'll be safer than just use archers at first wave and let archer towers destroy them

you use warriors as the first wave.... its called a 'meatshield'

That's what warriors are for, I can make about 50k in a day if need be. they are cheap and gain you massive honor points if someone uses those great defenses called rollinglogs and defensive trebuchets, that I advise people around me to use.

meatshield don't do good, when archer towers is around, 30000 warriors can't even reach enough range to attack 8500 archer towers, they only available when archer towers are lower than 3000, you can try
