A ram if you're by yourself and enough strength to be able to damage it.

Houses have 25 damage soak so you need to do 26 damage to it per hit to do anything.
This means you need to 26^2 Strength (676.)
Stone Axes add 1 damage, Pickaxes add 2 damage, Sledgehammers add 4 damage.
Battering Rams add 20 damage and allow up to 4 people to add their damage (not strength) together.

So with 4 people at 10 Strength with a battering ram you do: 3+3+3+3+20 Damage, 32 Damage. This is enough to break a palisade or house.
Only one item applies at a time and it is always the highest one. So if you are using a ram, your sledgehammer isn't contributing. If you dual wield stone axes, only one is applied.

Hardly! I'm pretty sure my first question about this game involved rams too, actually.

Did the damage from rams and sledgehammers get changed? It was 20 and 4 (respectively).

I was thinking the same thing. The wiki sides with us.
