At bit after 31 min, two rams attack Kiara's (bleu) fortress. Without any support units. And it works because:

  • minor thing: Kiara leaves garrisoned 6 javelin soldiers, they don't have a lot of hack but it's better than making 1 additional arrow for the fort which is only pierce. But that's minor. But since arrow damage is near 0 (tried in map editor, need 12k archer arrows to destroy ram), it's always better to send non-archer units directly againts an undefended ram.
  • major: after killing half of a ram with lancers, Kiara retreated 2/3 of them elsewere. And garrisoned the other 1/3 in the fortress where they do significantly less damage to the rams via arrows.
    So in the end we see the fortress going down from unprotected rams.

There weren't much lancers so the fortress might still have gone down although it looked to have big chances of making it. Worst case one of the rams would be destroyed, the other damaged a lot. And the lancers + javelin soldiers would have finished it. And instead the rams could destroy the arsenal and a few houses!
