These are the Mangonel's own figures, the ones the Armory prints. In battle the Human Realm's trait is added on top: +45% health · +33% damage. Range, reach and speed are in the battlefield's own units.

Special powers

Strong and weak

Strong: Castles, crowds.

Weak: Any melee that reaches it.

As a siege troop, it deals extra damage to Titan (×1.3), Legend (×1.25), Construct (×1.5) and Levy (×1.2) troops.

Ranged (×1.3) troops deal extra damage to it.

Raising it

The Mangonel comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 2,500 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Mangonel every 1 minute 38 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 1 minute 7 seconds at level 2 and 42.8 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,550 gold to level 2 and 7,050 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.

Before it can be raised at all it has to be unlocked in the Armory, for 1,400 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
