  • The battering ram was a weapon used against fortified walls or doors. It could also be used against enemy soldiers. The name likely comes from the animal, ram, which is known to crash its horns into objects. (WoE 346)
  • The Battering Ram has come out in the following versions:
  • Battering Ram is one of the special moves used by M.O.D.O.K. where he performs a dash attack flying towards the opponent and it can be controlled in any direction: up, down, and across, similar to Hulk's Gamma Charge.
  • The first of all siege machines available from the Siege Workshop, the Battering Ram is the very first and foremost siege weapon that you may construct, and is also the cheapest. The Battering Ram's ability to eat arrow fire makes it a vital weapon that can be used against buildings, although the speed at which it it moves means that you can't always build these units in large numbers. Nor should you, given that they are easily destroyed by cavalry units and are totally worthless if used against ships, other siege weapons and gunpowder units and can attack only at melee range. Worse, Battering Rams have no LOS whatsoever so you need to be careful when using them — enemy spies and agents will have a field day against them!
  • Battering Ram (破城槌), also known as Point Burst, a magic that was developed through PK research. This magic functions by rewriting the Eidos of the target object and applying a massive Weight Type Magic on a single point. When used against buildings, the target requirement is usually a wall or the ceiling, or at least a "single surface" that is separated from any pillars, and also required a colossal magic capacity as well as high interference strength.
  • Rams do not have any melee armor (in fact they have -3 melee armor, displayed in The Conquerors but not anymore since The Forgotten), so any unit with a melee attack can destroy a Battering Ram rather quickly. The best ways to destroy them are with Mangonels, Mangudai, cavalry, or infantry. However, due to their high pierce armor and HP, they can withstand most ranged attacks easily. In fact, it's sometimes useful to add a few Battering Rams to an army for the sole purpose of soaking up enemy archer fire to protect the main force.
  • When you want to enter a structure, you politely knock on the door. When the door does not open after that, you knock harder. A common element in sieges is people carrying a large blunt object, like a cut down tree, and ramming it against the gate of a castle in order to break it down. This is very common in fiction. After all, it's dramatic, looks cool, and has plenty of basis in Real Life. The Theory of Narrative Causality, however, means that it's only effective half the time. Examples of Battering Ram include:
  • A battering ram is a siege engine originating in ancient times and designed to break open the masonry walls of fortifications or splinter their wooden gates. In its simplest form, a battering ram is just a large, heavy log carried by several people and propelled with force against an obstacle; the ram would be sufficient to damage the target if the log was massive enough and/or it were moved quickly enough (that is, if it had enough momentum). Later rams encased the log in an arrow-proof, fire-resistant canopy mounted on wheels. Inside the canopy, the log was swung from suspensory chains or ropes.
