Battering ram attacks
The battering ram in Evony is the strongest close combat troop there is. It has crazy life and defence stats of 160 and 5,000! No other troop type in Evony comes even close to this. This means it can pretty much walk through huge amounts of other troops before taking serious damage. A full army of battering rams is very hard to stop.
The bad thing with battering rams however is that they are very slow. This is bad for two reason. First thing is that the enemy can see the attack coming towards their city a long time before it lands, and cause of that they will have a long time to plan their defense and get help from friends and alliance members. Second thing is that it can take the battering rams a long time to get in range being shot at for several rounds by archers, ballistas or catapults.
If you want to be successful killing lots of enemies with your battering rams it’s important that you have a good rainbow as you can see from this battle report. Here the battering rams are pretty well layered so that they manage to take out 100k cataphracts, 300k archers as well as lots of other enemy troops.

Could you also show an attack with more similar hero lvls. The attacking hero has 100 lvls up of the defender. Also im sure of the rams extremely slow speed that research plays a big factor also.

I’m not impressed, I have and can kill all those troops with allot less hassles. Try sending that to a city with full wall def’s and maybe I might take notice

What a waste of time and resources to send this type of attack.If you add only 14k ATs and a better hero
those rams would be shot to bits.
The only good use of rams i found in this game is as a shield for you archers.
If you take time and resources in to account you could’ve build 800k instead of 110k rams and still have lots to spare.
2x100k cavs would’ve killed those troops with ease.

The layers actually do no good, and may cause harm. They rush forward and die before the defender’s archers are ever in range of the rams. They also slow down the defenders cavs/inf from impacting the rams – meaning that the rams have less time to chew on them before defenders archers come in range. The layers slow down the defenders archers, but it is unclear that helps any since they also slow down the cavs/inf that is the rams target.

Layering rams is exactly what you do not want to do. The only troops you should layer rams with are ballista or catapults. THe only way the rams are effective is if they are on the spearhead of the attack. Rams should also be handled like cataphracts. They are powerful, but you must remove a few key components of the defense first.

does no one else see the difference in the heroes’ level. the attacking hero is 96 lvl’s higher. that report is worthless
inaccurate

Dude, i can send 120k cavalry rainbow at that city and get wayy better results. As you can see, the attacker lost a whole hell of alot of troops, with a lv 154 hero! This method will waste your time and cost you resources. Dont do it, this guy is an idiot.
