_After suffering devastating amount of losses, the units had to regroup and formulate a new plan of attack. One that the enemy couldn't anticipate.

For it wasn't a war of just swords, shields and magic any longer... there had to be a greater plan of attack. At the dawn of a new day, approaching in their glorious machinery, the call for help was heard. It's response: catapulting units to victory!_

Catapult behavior:

• Catapults cost income to recruit just like normal units as indicated next to their icon.
• Catapults contribute to the unit cap limit.
• They have high armor and health. They deal low splash damage to enemies but very high damage to towers.
• They have a very large attack range, but will only engage in battle if there are units pushing ahead.
• If your forces are pushed back to your towers, catapults will not engage enemies until you begin pushing ahead.

Catapult types:

• Rank 1 Catapult: Wooden Catapult. No ability.
• Rank 2 Catapult: Thrapper Catapult.
  Ability: Quick Fire. Releases a wave of rocks in rapid succession.
• Rank 3 Catapult: Spiked Catapult.
  Ability: Spike Smash. Charges forward at incredible speed, smashing into enemies and shooting spikes.
