Must agree with Troy. In a recent, painfully recent, MP game I had 5 spearmen, 3 swordsmen, 7 war chariots in a city (size 5) with walls and I had the Great Wall wonder (staging for an offensive don't ya know!). A stack of 10 legions with 8 catapults destroyed my town in 3 turns.

By the way, once those damned catapults destroy the walls, the Great Wall is suddenly less useful .

Live and learn.........now I build catapults.......

My guess is that they're making some changes to bombardment so that maybe trebuchets go after the city walls specifically... but that's just my guess. There has to be some sort of change like that because otherwise, they're pointless. It's not worth the +2 bombard over catapults to build them.

true, but it would be cool to have them specifically target city walls.

Hmm arent most cities over size 6 by the middle ages anyways.

very true.
