-The most effective defense against rams and elephants are units that are in the "swordsman" class. This can include certain cavalry and champion units. Female workers can also be used, but they have a low HP so should only be used as a last resort.
+The most effective defense against rams are units that are in the "swordsman" class. This can include certain cavalry and champion units. Female workers can also be used, but they have a low HP so should only be used as a last resort. All these units are effective because they deal "hack" damage, not "pierce", and rams block almost all pierce damage. Crash damage is also effective: elephants and clubmen are also both very effective against rams. Since ranged units tend to deal pierce damage, they are mostly powerless against rams and siege towers.
