All attacking buildings, including Bombard Towers (the latter since The Conquerors 1.0c).All unique infantry and cavalry units, including Throwing Axemen, Gbetos, and Mamelukes.Chu Ko Nu, Kipchaks, and Scorpions also have a melee attack in addition to the pierce attack, however the value is 0, so it only results in extra damage against rams and Siege Towers.

The only exception to this is the Fire Galley line which deals both melee and pierce damage at the same time. So all units and buildings with a nonzero attack deal either melee damage (resisted by melee armor) or pierce damage (resisted by pierce armor).
