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.
