Why are people not happy with bombs? They add a foolproof way of doing exactly what you want, then you ignore it and try to re-add it in the form of a battering ram, and cannon.

Just like the castle walls, the damage done isn't supposed to an economic thing. If you come home, to see half your castle lying on the floor, you won't say "OMG DUM NUBS WALS ARE ESY TO MKE!". You'll be rather sad that a lot of work has been destroyed, and most likely ragequit. Sure, there is a few hardcore players like me and you, who will stay and rebuild, but working the quarrys is boring and not something you want to do twice. Similar to if your village was destroyed, you will be unhappy about it, and "I can just replace it in 10 minutes" wont be the first thing that comes to mind.

If it is powerful enough to be a good castle destroying weapon, it is OP. If it isn't, it's useless, bombs would be better. Castles shouldn't be something you can destroy easily, or at all unless you make a lot of bombs.

Battering Ram? Yes No
