This looks really good, however if you could do the following thing it would boost its performance:
- Add a simple decay animation, this will make the death look much better.
EDIT: Fixed the portrait, should look better.
PM me when these changes have been made, or you have any further questions.

Im wondering why noone made such model before nice anims , good use of textures, low file size: 5/5.

 

[MasterHaosis]

Very nice thing I like it !!!

 

[Emperor_Jackal]

wow, looks good, doesn't take up much memory and uses blizzard skins.

5/5

Me too, I noticed a lack of more generic models, like cannons, elephants, etc

 

[DustWolf]

I like the model and the animations
so I'd say 5 but the hexa wheels are a big aesthetical problem and the portrait is abit funny so I have to say 4
(PM to MechanicalMan: sori prjatu kaj morm jaz sm pravičn sodnik )

 

[BlinkBoy]

I give it 4/4, animations could have been more noisy and realistic, it's way to plain and simple, yet the model looks nice and performs correctly, I give it 4 stars.

5/5

Memory? It gives you memory, after all, it is a RAM.

 

[keall230]

Very good People really need Siege weapons! keep it up!! 9/10 +rep

Mwaow-mwaow-mwaow-mwaaaaaah

with in other news.

Good model. Nice, simple and effective. Reminds me of the old Age of Empires seige Rams

 

[Mechanical Man]

Yeah, I took inspiration mainly from those. And is simple, since nobody make this kind of model and I can afford to make it so simple.

The name is in capital letters because I forgot to to toggle caps lock

 

[skrab]

you stole my idea... 5/5

 

[Killface]

Nice model. I think it should have more war-ish look to it. I suggest you add an insignia of some sort on the roof of the ram. The battering ram itself looks small compared to the rest of the shed containing it. I suggest you make it bigger. I don't really like the color of the wood. Maybe you could use a lighter shade of brown for it. Very good idea for you to have made this model since the model's section is lacking it surprisingly. I give it a 3/5.

 

[Hunters.moon]

reminds me of age of empires

 

[Big Dub]

Awsome, simply awsome.
This model looks exactly like the 2d age of empires graphic ripped out of the screen and put into 3d. And uses blizzard textures. GJ mah man gj

 

[Alex-Knight Mapmaker]

This is excelent model, real medieval battering ram that was usually in west Europe in medieval times.
Well, roof is good i think - there was not used "yellow grass" texture. So it's made more realistic. Real ones had roofs those couldn't catch fire because of boiling oil that was used by stronghold defenders.

Well, i give 10\10 because it's real, it has rood, it has normal wheels, its like that one you could see in medieval times. I saw other models in wc3sear.ch like year ago but they were toy-like, fantasy-like, not real-like etc. This is the best.

I agree with Killface. The actual log of wood is wider. Otherwise this is one good. Could I make certain modifications to it for my upcoming custom campaign? I want to show certain graphical updates as the battering ram is upgraded.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Alex-Knight Mapmaker:
Well, the only ones I already saw are naga ram by jigrael and by rondo (on this website http://www.rondo.eu.tp/, no one of them were enough medieval and wc3ish appearance.

NatDis:
What kind of updates?

 

[lazybone]

Nice MODEL!!!9/5!!! This model reminds me of AOE2

 

[Lord_Sauron]

Thanks, this will prove very useful to a whole bunch of people, myself included.

 

[Faction]

So so so useful, I remember in one map I made, I used the crate destructibles as a ram unit rofl, I guess I intended for people to imagine their were wheels and people pushing it... Anyways, thanks to you those days are gone! 5/5 <3 It looks just like the AOE2 too

 

[Ostaph13]

Nice model 5/5

 

[kryptosuper]

reminds me of age of mythology and age of empires... nice man 4/5 (recommended)

Awesome, i saw this in Medieval builders.

 

[Xmilky]

Age of Empires had some nice units, and this was one of them, a really good model indeed.

awesome model, deserves a 5/5

hmm ok

 

[InfernalTater]

I thought I'd rated this before, but I guess I hadn't.

Anyway, I really like it. It looks great, is definitely useful, and has a great file size for a unit model. The wrap on the edges of the top piece are stretched, but that isn't really noticeable when it's at the appropriate size in-game.

4/5.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Lol you want to rate all 10k models in model section? This model was meant to be very simple as before that there were no rams available.

Yeah, I know. I used this a long time ago and loved it, reminded me of Age of Empires II. I just figured it deserved a rating since I managed to remember it after all these years.

4/5.
Has it been replaced by those bulldozers-crane-like machines that use a big sort of chain or cable to swirl a heavy ball around destroying buildings?

 

[pyf]

Sorry for being super-OT here, but I honestly can not resist :

In the 1985 medieval film Flesh and Blood, the hero builds a siege tower with the size and mobility of a battering ram, in order to attempt to storm a castle. In the movie, this mechanical device is based on one of Leonardo da Vinci's drawings (this one iirc).

The story is set in Italy in 1501. It was considered a transition period to more modern times. Therefore, the movie depicts in its own way the introduction of "modern" siege warfare into battles (including the use of gunpowder to blow up wooden doors, instead of breaking them).

Careful, this movie is for mature audiences.
