If someone is “fully walled,” it means that their base is completely surrounded by walls, making it difficult to attack.
If the plan is to attack in the “Castle Age” on the “Arena” map, using “rams” as the main siege weapon is a good choice.
It is estimated that it will be easy to destroy 1-2 buildings with “bologna micro” tactics.
If the army consists of 12-20 units, it is possible to destroy five buildings.
It may be necessary to build two “siege workshops” if there isn’t a concrete plan beyond the use of rams.
Depends on what you are busting into.
A Castle? 6.
Anything else 1.
One of the most common mistakes is not using military.
Normally the best thing to do is drop a castle on their walls and shoot it down (can add a few vills to speed it up).
That not only takes the wall down, it also prevents repairs, it pushes your opponent into the corner, takes part of their base, denies at least one of their stone/gold mines and gives you an outpost to attack from.
Alternatively, some builds let you build your castle at home and make a few power units, for example with organ guns.
In that case you can add a siege workshop and one ram to take the walls.
You need those power units to protect the ram and take down repairs though.
Later you can make mangonels from the workshop to do more damage.
If you want to take down a castle, you should go up to imp and make trebs, instead of wasting resources and getting stuck in castle age 99% of the time.
If you really want to kill a castle in castle age, I’d recommend 6-8 rams and enough army to wipe enemy army.
Castle age is called castle age fo a reason, proper siege is available only in imp.
Yes
> If rams are my siege in castle age, how many should I have before busting in?
I would like to challenge you to tell me why you picked rams over mangonels in castle age.
Mangonels have far more utility when breaking in by attacking rewalling villagers, as well as far more utility after breaking in by being better and taking out archery range units and threatening town centers from outside their range.
