Trebs don't take ammo anymore, you can only use the default ammo. Is this intentional?

Cats, vs. trebs, vs, ballista.

In general i hear people say use balli to take out siege and cats to take out people, trebs for range on door if no ram or cant take out the oil, whatever.

Can someone clear this up for me on what siege to use on what target. Also go into detail about the 2 different ammo types that cats can use?

Also, has anyone else had trouble using the ground target button to target a treb? Takes a while to work for me but works just fine with cats.

I've had targetting problems with Trebs, I can't figure out why yet. I was playing with one on top of a level 10 keep one day, and everything was working fine. The next day, I'm on top of the same keep, different tower, and I can't get the thing to fire once.

here is a copy paste from that page about what to use against what:

What Should You Use?
Here’s a helpful chart showing the common combat situations, and which siege weapon might have the most strategic value: Primary Target Secondary Target Tertiary Target
Rams (All Types) Gates None None
Ballista Siege, Boats Players Walls, Gates
Palintone Siege, Boats Players Walls, Gates
Catapult Players Walls, Boats Gates, Siege
Trebuchet Walls, Boats Players Gates, Siege
Boiling Oil Players Siege None


It looks clearer on the website tongue

Skalded - I had the exact same problem and then figured it out.

If you have ANYTHING targetted, the siege will try to target that. So if the treb itself is still showing as your target, it will try to target itself and it can't. If you have a player targetted, it will try to target and track them.

If you have NOTHING targetted, the siege will use your groundtarget.

Hope that helps

Thanks, I'll try that out and see if that's what I was doing wrong. >.<
