Silly Antigonids. You don't use catapults to reduce Babylon's infamous walls to nothing. You dam the Euphrates and walk under them.

Oh, I forgot that the Walls of Babylon were one of the 7 Wonders (the Pharos lighthouse wasn't originally one), and as we all know, you can never destroy wonders.
It's After Alex, a really nice mod/scenario I just found. And yes, I've used siege before and it has worked, it might just be either a bug or a special part of the mod maybe?
Which mod is that? Are you sure that building siege is effective? Can they do at least some collateral damage?(I'm sure it has a logical explanation though. At the sight of the cats the innocent citizens will automatically begin building additional barricades or something

Looks to be a great scenario indeed
Shame that you don't have UUs called Trojan Horse.

If they had, you have to turn your anti-virus off first before loading the mod.

Nah, the Trojan Horse was more of a one-shot Wonder than a UU. When you use it, it reduces city defense to 0%, sabotages the walls, and eliminates half the units inside the city. But you can only use it once, after that no other city or civ will trust your friendly gift of Horse.

That's just great
Are you sure all civs would talk to each other? Or maybe the trick could be used against another civ that is not on friendly terms with the first victim?

Have you ever spoken to an ancient Trojan? Would the wooden horse trick work on you?

Haha, yes, I guess it's so embarrassing, they might never mention it to anybody

Homer went and spoiled the surprise for the Greeks. They wanted to use the horse again, but everybody had read the Iliad.
The Greeks punished him for this by associating his name with beer-swilling, donut-chomping simpletons. D'oh!

Can but wooden rabbits (or badgers) would also work, just not on the French (or only on the French?).

I think wooden rabbits are actually much better. They would undoubtedly attract less suspicion than a horse. (A wooden horse, ridiculous
)

But they are dangerous to poor little squires if launched by a catapult.

Oh, I guess that's the correct use of catapults then
All you need are lots of wooden rabbits (They're likely to fire them right back at you, though)

Most likely the mod has disabled the cap for bombardment reducing (provided by walls and castles in the base game) and has added an extra building which reduces enemy bombarding (Walls of Babylon, maybe?) which made the total reduction 100 or higher.

The city has both wall and a castle...
strijder20
Wallowing in irony
Yeah, and? Adding another wall-castle-like building doesn't mean removing walls and castles.
There's obviously another defense building in there, considering it has 120% defence.
CocoIsKing28
Slightly less stupid
No I was just saying that it had both, the castle could have been modded or something, I don't think there was anything else in the city.
