Rome 2 - “Our Cattle Will Blot Out The Sun“

39 units of heavy onagers vs 280 Spartans. Each battery consists of 4 onagers for a total presentation of 156 siege engines. Each onager firing 3 cows every 20 seconds = 468 cows per volley and 1404 cows per minute. If each cow weighs 500kg, that’s a total displacement of 700,000kg of meaty ordnance per minute. As there are only 280 Spartans, that means (assuming only 50% of cows find their man), that each Spartan receives on average over 10kg of bloated beef every second. Yummy. ------------------------ F
