Tips[]

  • The Siege Tower is a slow-moving unit that can only attack buildings with the primary attack. With the secondary attack, provided that the siege tower is garrisoned, they deal pierce damage and can be a serious threat.
  • If a Siege Tower is converted or destroyed, garrisoned units are automatically ejected.
  • Garrisoning lower health units inside can provide the Babylonian Siege Tower a good area of effect pierce attack.
  • If low on resources, Shield Bearers and Bowmen are cheap options to fill up Siege Towers, though Villagers also work.
