Mortars in general are quite resource-intensive, so it's best to wait until mid-game until beginning the use of mortars. Given the mortar's inaccuracy, it's best to have a battery of mortars firing at once to deal heavy damage to the enemy. |

Against sieges in particular, dealing enough damage will force the raiders to assault directly - as opposed to peppering ''your'' base with mortar shells. Enemy mortars can and will deal large infrastructural damage to any base not under [[overhead mountain]], so mortars are powerful defenses against them. |
