A good use for Petards is neutralizing enemy key buildings or key siege units near the player's Castles. They are also an excellent choice for quickly breaching Walls, taking only two to destroy a piece of Stone Wall, assuming they have the Siege Engineers upgrade. However, they are not cost effective in large numbers since they can only be used once.

abstract
| - A good use for Petards is neutralizing enemy key buildings or key siege units near the player's Castles. They are also an excellent choice for quickly breaching Walls, taking only two to destroy a piece of Stone Wall, assuming they have the Siege Engineers upgrade. However, they are not cost effective in large numbers since they can only be used once. When used (especially against Castles), it is important to line them is staggered formation. That way, they take less damage from the volleys of arrows since every volley only damages one Petard, and they do not damage from other Petards' blast damage when they die. They are comparable to the Saboteur that is only available in campaigns, but the Petard is significantly weaker. It is much slower, has a much smaller blast area and deals much less damage to enemy units. There is also a 'Petard of the Seas': the Demolition Ship, which is more expensive, but has much greater attack against units and is significantly faster. In fact, the Demolition Ship is the fastest unit in the game.
