M1 Abrams: Requires an advanced economy plus an army of General Dynamics contractors for maintenance
Trebuchet: Can be completely repaired by one hammer-wielding villager
Plus, I assume that tanks count as a cavalry archer unit, which means any old monk can start converting them. Meanwhile trebuchets can’t be converted until your enemy researches redemption at the monastery.
in AOEIII artillery are siege weapons so I think tanks would count as that, I remember getting my onagers converted in AOE but I don’t remember if that’s a thing in AOEII

That’s correct. Bombard cannons require the monk to straight up whisper in the crouching dude’s ear for conversion.
In my headcanon, it’s probably because bombard operators are deaf with all that blasting.
