Trabuquete de Tracción

As the Three Kingdom civilizations cannot access Trebuchets and Bombard Cannons, they have only Traction Trebuchets as long range anti-building siege weapons. They do not need to pack or unpack, unlike Trebuchets and like Bombard Cannons, but they also do not deal Area of Effect damage. Like the Bombard Cannon, they automatically attack enemy units in range, and have a higher preference for units over buildings. As siege weapons, they are unaffected by the hero unit auras. Unlike regular Trebuchets, Monks can convert Traction Trebuchets from a distance. Since Traction Trebuchets do not need to be unpacked, they may be used for dealing damage against units in a more practical way than standard Trebuchets. In some circumstances, they may even kite slower units with proper micromanagement. Each civilization with access to Traction Trebuchets has different unique technologies or bonuses that impact their use: === === Shu Traction Trebuchets move faster. This makes theirs the best of the three at retreating and repositioning. Shu also has access to all upgrades for this unit, including Heresy and Siege Engineers (both of which Wei and Wu lack). This results in a higher attack bonus against buildings and better range than their Wu and Wei counterparts. === === Wei Traction Trebuchets are cheaper, making it easier to produce them quickly in large numbers. This makes the Wei Traction Trebuchet the easiest long-range siege weapon in the entire game to mass, considering that normal Trebuchets are created at Castles and Bombard Cannons requite that Chemistry be researched first. Wei Traction Trebuchets, however, lack Siege Engineers and Heresy, which means that while the player may make more of them, they will have less range and attack than their Wu and Shu counterparts. === === The Sitting Tiger technology adds additional projectiles, which increases the Traction Trebuchet's attack somewhat, while also granting them better area damage. This is useful against masses of units, making the Wu Traction Trebuchet more practical than their Wei and Shu Counterparts for supporting the army against the enemy from long range. Although they lack Siege Engineers, Sitting Tiger makes up for this. === Comparison among civilizations === { Civilization Cost Wei civilization bonus Range Attack vs Movement speed 0.57 0.57 Other (die upon getting converted) }
