Villagers killing rams is a bit of a desperate move 11. Pike vs rams is far more common.Well they receive the cavalry armor upgrade and have only -2 melee armor. So in castle age already they can get 0 melee armor, so being much harder to take down by villagers (between 40-75 hits vs 30 for rams in castle age).
Against usual military, they die about equally fast
The elephant rams dying to halbs in ~ 7-8 shots however is massive. When seige rams need like 27 hits to be killed by pikes.
Move faster, yes.They also kill buildings faster than rams, and move faster.
Kill buildings faster, no. SOTL did a test, siege rams kill the fastest, but elite elephant ram do kill faster than capped ram IIRC
Yeah, they take 30 bonus damage from halb instead of 60.They don't get the full damage elephants get from halbs either (I suspect they have the elephant, but not the cavalry armor class)
It's still quite massive.
Especially in trash wars, they'd get absolutely destroyed.
