    If you have a LOT. Then they are extremely useful.

    They are unbelievably effective at what they do, but becasue of their insane timecost, upkeep and expense to construct coupled with the fact that they can be very, very easily overcome tends to knock their economical practicality into question.
    Put that aside and they become the most powerful offensive unit in the game. The only reason 'phracts can match up to them is because they train far faster and cheaper and are harder to unbalance.

    I've used them to cover ballista and catapults, since they move slightly quicker and can soak up a lot of damage, but you need a really significant number for offense. By significant I mean enough that the target is screwed no matter how much time they have to prepare and no matter how much reinforcements they get.

    Defensively they're practically never used; by the time they come forward into battle range, all your footmen and horsemen are dead.

    Default Rams are the best!!!

    Roll 100k of them on just about anyone in the game, and your almost assured victory.

    That used to be true. Thats no longer true on the older servers.

    That is so far from being accurate.


    Yes they are extremely useful but due to the time taken to build them they are generally not the best option.

    Aye... I'd say less than 10% of the RAM attacks we've faced were successful. They're so darn slow its easy to reinforce and destroy them. I agree with DarkBrady... I wouldn't mind having 100k of them, but only if they were basically gifted to me. I'm not gonna spend the time and resources required to build a unit likely to get wiped out in its first use.
