It used to say that Turtle Ships were weak to Mangonels. I removed this. Here's why:

For some reason, Turtle Ships deal melee damage, and Mangonels have no melee armor.

For some reason, Mangonels also deal melee damage, and Turtle Ships have high melee armor.

Turtle Ships have 50 attack, so they can sometimes destroy a Mangonel in 1 shot.

Mangonels do not have any attack bonuses against ships, so they deal average damage to Turtle Ships.

Turtle Ships only cost 36% more than Mangonels (22% more in The Forgotten), and 1 Turtle Ship can easily take on 2 Mangonels/Onagers, maybe even 3. Turtle Ships are very cost-effective here.

I would not recommend using Onagers against Turtle Ships unless you have them very outnumbered.
