Catapults

Attacking across a river, our catapults bombard the city defenses weakening the two Spearmen defenders. 

Bombardment can make a significant difference in combat odds. A Veteran Swordsman v. Regular Spearman (fortified in a city, across a river) has a 49% chance of victory. With just one point damage to the Spearman, the odds increase to 69%.
