What changes?

Change the roof for metal shields (TC) -more metal than tc-
Change the wooden wheels for more metalic wheels, something like the demolisher wheels or anything like it.
Add metalic frames on the borders of the wooden walls in the ram.
Change the ram head, I don't know if the head of a Dragon can be created/added to it and made with metalic textures (in-game).
You could even add an animation where the head spits fire or something while it's eyes glow (now I'm going crazy AF).

The main point is the roof, as in my map the Battering Rams are meant to take diminished damage from air attacks (pierce and magic damage) and have a 100% chance to reflect piercing attacks back at the source (they take the damage and reflect 50% of the damage against the source).

At this point I would wish a custom defend animation that matches the ram roof.

Also Rams in my map can get units inside of them, and with an upgrade called battle repairment they regenerate life the more units they have in them
-like HOLD THE DAMN WALLS OF THE RAM YOU DOGS THIS DAY OUR ENEMIES DIE!-

dunno if there is a TC metal texture, as dragon head, I doubt I could do it, I already tried to make a sheep ram head itself , but it just looks bad

It doesn't have to look like a real WC3 dragon you know?,

*I think that the meat wagon texture or the demolisher texture you can do the Dragon Head (with the metalic parts), just some horns (they don't have to be super real or with a lot of plygons) and the main shape of the head, something made for war not to be pretty, and maybe some glow in the dragon head eyes just for the sake of it.

*About the roof, hmm I think that it can be done by adding some shields on the top of the roof (which can be made by using the human transport ship front part) and then adding something with TC below, maybe the captain texture might do the job, or anything that seems fitting for you, it has to look like a human siege machine, adding a lion in somewhere could help too xD
