Ballistas vs Rams to Destroy Walls

[ArmandoJCA]

Since both Ballistas and Rams can destroy walls. Is one better than the other at destroying walls? What is the advantage of the latter?

Use the simulation on rally point and find out ...

I actually question this as well. It only takes 550 rams to destroy a level 25 wall, but with a ballista target level of 25 it requires closer to 800. This doesn't make much sense if this is actually how many are required to take down a wall of this level however. Because the ballista strength is far superior to that of the ram. Unless the simulator is inaccurate, or there is a bonus rams get, technically the ballista should be superior.

[Purduepilot]

Anybody else have any insight into this?

[Killerxx777]

Well, rams are made particularly to destroy walls so they should be superior don't you think?

[Purduepilot]

I do agree with you that it would make sense because they are specialized. However, I guess I'm just stuck on the stats, that ballistas are 8X stronger on offensive.

I honestly have no idea as to which is the better method of destroying a wall in an enemy city. Given the mechanics that are presented it isnt 100% clear as to which is better to use specifically against a given wall level.

I will try and take a look at this over the next few days.
Also - Purduepilot, that is a good question, sorry it took me a few days to see it. You know how it is with the holidays. :-) Family comes first.

Any news this situation?

Perhaps there is a hidden stat. Attack may apply only to troop vs troop.

Unhide it (to programmers) please.
