The Capped Ram functions very similarly to its predecessor, the Battering Ram, as an anti-building siege unit with exceptional pierce durability and a massive weakness against melee units. Compared to the Battering Ram, the Capped Ram has +25 hit points, +10 anti- bonus damage, +1 melee armor, +1 armor, and a blast radius of 1.5 (the Battering Ram has none). The latter makes it much better at tearing down massed walls and bases. The low cost of the upgrade makes it almost always worth getting if using rams. While the Capped Ram is useful, it is usually only a stepping-stone toward the stronger Siege Ram. For civilizations that do not have the Siege Ram, players will typically opt for Bombard Cannons instead, as they have a higher damage output and can outrange Castles. They are still useful if the opponent has mass walls or the player needs support for their infantry.
