Gameplay

Portable Rams are the cheapest of all true siege weapons and can therefore be mass-produced easily. They do massive damage to Buildings and are incredibly resistant to ranged fire. As such defensive buildings are useless against them (unless they have Boiling Oil). When in groups they can destroy walls and defensive buildings rapidly while taking little damage in return. This makes reaction teams against them a must if one is playing defensively. They have weak hack armor, but quite a bit of hit points, so they can last for a while if under attack by enemy units. However, like all siege weapons, they must be deployed with an escort if they are expected to survive.

History

"When taking an enemy town quickly was important, one simple, expedient solution was to cut down a strong tree, trim the trunk, attach some handholds, and use the tree to batter down a gate or wall section. Although very dangerous work for the men holding the ram, it could be put into action with hours of arriving outside the city walls. The Portable Ram was particularly effective in surprise attacks and against fortifications of weak design. Such a ram was popular with raiding armies and those who could not linger outside a city for a protracted siege."
