You should consider researching the upgrades for them. Or if you want to avoid ranged siege all together, use ladders, rams, or siege towers. The trebuchets aren't supposed to be medieval rail guns, they are meant to miss consistently and not be the end-all-be-all.

If your serious about seiging, using seige weapons is not the way to go.

But if you enjoy the ranged seige weapons, try taking more trebuchets (usually a minimum of 8)
having that one extra trebuchet can really make a difference in your damage output.
Also you dont have to target the gates, Your trebuchets can also take down walls, allowing your army to enter that way.
Also, cannons are slower, take more stone, but do alot more damage when they hit.

without using seige weapons;
Any city in the game you can solo seige with an army rating of about 1200+
That army consisting of;
Hydra x1 lvl50+
royal dragon x1 lvl 50+
All the rest minotaurs lvl 20

dwarven ram x0 ~ 2 (as needed)
Ladder x0 ~ 2 (as needed)

In my siege armies I usually have 16 Trebuchets, or 6 Dwarven Cannons, and you should not target the gate directly - but instead try to make a breach in the wall, or take out the gatehouse. The gate object is too small, and most projectiles will miss it.

Few patches ago we made walls much harder to destroy though, to promote players using other siege weapons and scaling walls.
