I'm currently writing an article about seige weapons in RoR for the academy. I'm posting from school so I can't post the half-finished article here, but I will soon.
Comments would be nice Here's what I think: Helepoli: Accompanying units: Archers/Helepoli are a must to protect cats from hand-to-hand units.
-Fabulous unit defeated only by catapults effectively
-other counters: Massed archers, elephant hordes, scythe larger-than-comprehendible horde
-Destroys: Cavalry charges, anything but the largest scythe charges, elephant charges with a 2 hele/1 ele ratio. Not bad vs Triremes (if you were dumn enough to be near the shore), decimates passing fire galley fleets
-Accompanying units: Catapults to deal with other cats, a hele's worst enemy. Cavalry/Scythes/Camels for enemy cats. Academy for scythe/ele protection
Priests are nice for stealing cats.
Catapults:
-Awesome power + utter vulnerability
-untouchable by hand-to-hand when backed by archers
-Biggest counters: elephant hordes, legion hordes
-other counters: Cavalry/Scythe charges, priests, other catapults
-Destroys: Helepoli so well you want to cry
Doh, gotta go to class!
As if Chemistry is more important than AOE!
At least my school hasn't blocked this site yet, the server must be noticing my 20 hits/week here
