The incendiary wagon is a highly specialized siege tool - its sole purpose is to lower the gate protection level of the enemy target. And beware, it works exclusively against nomadic camps; you can't deploy it anywhere else. So don't confuse it with regular siege equipment for castles. It's strictly a nomadic affair, and those who regularly crush nomads know that without something for the gate, it takes time and resources to conquer.
How to use it
You deploy it in an attack on a nomadic camp, specifically against its gate. The gate of the nomads can significantly overestimate its defense, so it makes sense to send incendiary wagons in the first wave to lower the gate protection before your main strike force arrives. The more you reduce the gate protection, the fewer losses your units will incur at the gate. If you plan a series of attacks on one camp, it's worth pouring the wagons fully into waves specifically aimed at the gate.
What to combine it with
By itself, it won't conquer the camp - it's a support tool, not a replacement for an army. Combine it in your attack formation with enough offensive units and tools for the other defensive elements, so that the entire combination fits all the defensive values of the camp, including the gate. The logic is simple: the incendiary wagon deals with the gate, while the rest of the tools and units deal with the walls and slots. Without a balanced formation, the wagons alone won't help you much.
