The elite nomad ram has one clear task: to break down the gate defense at nomad camps. When you attack nomads, the gate often slows you down the most, and regular rams are not enough for it. This elite piece will significantly weaken the gate and open the way for the rest of the army. A classic siege tool of the type "one purpose, but does it well" - don't expect versatility, expect a reliable breakthrough against the nomads.
How to use it
Deploy it exclusively against nomad camps; you won't use it anywhere else. It is especially useful against heavily fortified camps where you know that without breaking the gate, you would only be feeding the defenders with your own troops. The more you reduce the gate's defense, the fewer losses your units will suffer. Therefore, send it with the attack to break the gate and clear the way for the main force, rather than hiding it on the edge of the formation.
What to combine it with
On its own, it won't capture the camp; it is a support tool. Combine it with other siege engines that deal with the rest of the fortifications, and with a solid attacking unit composition that will rush in as soon as the gate is broken. Supplement it with offensive tools and officers that increase the army's attack to fully realize the advantage from the weakened gate. Consider it as one piece of the nomad siege puzzle.
