"The pinnacle of mechanical siege craft, the trebuchet used a counterweight to propel rocks at defensive fortifications."

Summary

• Trebuchets have a damage bonus against walls. They have a long range but are very slow moving and need to be protected by other units.
• Trebuchets are long-ranged siege units, unlocked from the Level 4 Siege Workshop.
• Bonus damage against walls.
• Good against towers.
• Excellent range.
• Very slow moving.
• Will always need protecting.
• Takes 5 Camp space.
• Easily destroyed by Engineer Trap and Grenadier.
• The Engineer Trap can do a lot of damage to Trebuchets especially because of the Trebuchet's movement speed.
• Trebuchets outrange the Flame Tower and the Crossbow Tower but the Ballista Tower and the Catapult Emplacement are a good defense due to their range.

Offensive Strategy

• Deploy Trebuchets to make holes in enemy walls and to destroy towers. They are best used with a distraction unit such as infantry to draw fire away from the Trebuchet.

---

Defensive Strategy

• Trebuchets CAN NOT be used in defense.
