*Careful* The battle round where Mortars or Catapults arrive, they immediately replace the Battering Rams. As you see the Bombardiers are losing their munitions, you bring in the more expensive Artillery,as well as any other troop measures you need, bring the wall down, and raid yer way to the loot. Battering Rams are Much cheaper than catapults, and insanely cheaper than Mortars, so when the Bombardiers are using their munitions, While being attacked by your Gyros, their devastaing munitions are wasted on your cheap Battering Rams.

The first waves goal is to waste the Bombardiers munitions up. And most importantly Many, Many Battering Rams. Many Doctors and Cooks to provide the stamina and morale to the ground troops, as they will be trapped for a while outside the wall. Many Steam Giants or Phalanx to prolong the fight.(Good timing saves their casualty rate.) Consists of Many Gyrocopters, theoretically 2 to 1 for their every Bomber. The first wave attack against Bombardiers can easily take a few hours, usually more. You must take the town in 2 seperate wave attacks. There currently isnt an effective way to just kill them all, just an efficient way, as you can only have a certain amount of Gyros on the battle field at once. Bombardiers are devastating against your artillery units. If there are no more flight units, the Gyrocopters do nothing else. Your Gyrocopters automatically attack the Bombardiers until none are left, then move on to any possible enemy Gyrocopters. If the defender has Bombardiers, you must have Gyrocopters, Or you will be slaughtered. The only unit that can destroy the Bombardiers are the Gyrocopter. The Bombardier attacks your Artillery untis first until there are none left, then moves on to attack remaining troops with any munitions they might have left. The 2 Aerial or Flight Units in Ikariam are the Bomber, or Bombardier, and the Gyrocopter.
