Building

Catapult workshop

Battering rams and catapults for sieges: without them no wall falls – and without a fallen wall no castle can be conquered.

In your Catapult workshop you build Battering rams and Catapults. Rams batter the enemy Wall, catapults hit the wall and the buildings behind it. Both are expensive, tie up many settlers and are slow – and since an attack always marches at the pace of its slowest unit, they slow down the whole army.

As with the Barracks, the columns show how much of a unit's normal build time is left at that level and how many units of one type can be in the queue at once.

To conquer a castle, its wall has to fall first – your siege engines can manage that in the very attack your senators march with (Conquest). Catapults can also weaken specific buildings; how many targets you can give them depends on your Military training grounds (Siege: rams and catapults).

At level 10 your Catapult workshop is a requirement for the Senate and the Tavern. Weapon research in your laboratory increases your engines' siege power (Weapon research), and the Athanor skill “Wallbreaker” their damage to walls and buildings (Quintessence).
