The Bombard Cannon and Trebuchet are the longest ranged and most expensive siege weapons in the game. The Bombard Cannon is more maneuverable than the Trebuchet, as it does not require the packing and unpacking that are characteristic of the Trebuchet. However, Trebuchets are slightly cheaper, costing 25 less gold and wood than Bombard Cannons (except for the Italians and Portuguese, who get a discount for them) and are available to every civilization, unlike Bombard Cannons, which are only available to some civilizations. Trebuchets are also more resilient, especially to ranged attackers, and can be used to destroy trees.

| - The Bombard Cannon and Trebuchet are the longest ranged and most expensive siege weapons in the game. The Bombard Cannon is more maneuverable than the Trebuchet, as it does not require the packing and unpacking that are characteristic of the Trebuchet. However, Trebuchets are slightly cheaper, costing 25 less gold and wood than Bombard Cannons (except for the Italians and Portuguese, who get a discount for them) and are available to every civilization, unlike Bombard Cannons, which are only available to some civilizations. Trebuchets are also more resilient, especially to ranged attackers, and can be used to destroy trees. Comparing their attacks, Bombard Cannons are more accurate and deal splash damage against units, but have shorter range and can damage friendly units. They deal significantly less damage to their targets than Trebuchets, but fire faster and with much faster projectiles. Overall, Bombard Cannons are superior to Trebuchets in terms of versatility as they are effective against both buildings and units, but the Trebuchet's greater range and attack make are unprecedented when it comes to taking down enemy buildings.
