hi i was just wondering, when u build stone walls it says boiling oil as a defence is there any way of using boilng oil

Hi oscarreeve,
Boiling oil is used automatically when any enemy unit is under a gateway. It it incredibly effective and usually causes anything it hits to die - very useful against tightly packed units and elephants should they be battering down your gates. Sadly it cannot destroy rams under walls, although it can destroy the troops holding them, and it has a very slow rate of use, about once every three-four seconds or sometimes even longer. Good luck with your stone walls, cheers!

However don't the towers attack the rams, and burn them? I had that happen to me, but I also had other siege weapons. My advice is to always send out a poor, useless unit to use the ram, against those walls.

Yes, I believe the towers do attack the rams and siege towers as they approach the walls. Only stone walls really have a chance of knocking them out, however.
