This article is about the armor class. For other uses of the term, see Ram. |
The ram armor class is an armor class in Age of Empires II. All units that have an attack bonus against this class deal bonus damage against units with this armor class. Units in this armor class are all siege units with high pierce armor. As such these units receive some bonus damage from gunpowder units and warships, since all of their pierce attacks are absorbed.
Other than the Magyar Huszar and Villagers with Sappers, units with bonus damage against ram units are not considered counters, since the bonus damage is meant to compensate for gunpowder units and warships' low fire rate.
