serious, go consult the wiki on ram bonus and palisade soak

to quote:
You will need at least 36 strength to damage it with a battering ram.


read the fucking wiki

The wiki says this.

You will need at least 36 strength to damage it with a battering ram.

The simple answer is no but if you're interested in why: Palisades reduce your damage by 25 points, so you must do 26 to damage it at all. Your damage is sqrt(str), so at 16str you do 4 damage. Rams, in addition to letting you add your strength to other hearthlings, add 20 damage. So 20+4 will not break the 25 soak the wall has. The minimum then, would be 36 strength, like the wiki and everyone else has said.
