While we are on the subject: is there any one that uses trebuchets/mangonels? I find them far less useful than catapults. Yes, they do more damage but they seem unable to reliably hit anything, even a caste wall. Ballistas are even worse: no accuracy and almost no damage when they do hit. Never even managed to hit the enemy general with it either (but they did once kill my own general ). Can anyone provide some pointers to using them or should I just go for catapults?
I always thought it was a feature. Its one of their only redeeming field battle features. Being able to literally lock onto enemy generals and 1 hit KO him is sweetness.
