Great stronghold defense CLICK TO ENLARGEThis has to be one of the best defenses I have seen in stronghold. It looks pretty but has its major flaws. All crossbowmen are in one spot, making it easy for Percival knock down (I actually did this against this player about five times), But this defense it has great aesthetic value. More of a form over function type defense.
Here are some great tips when making a defense whether your Arthur, Evil or Ice.
- Make sure moat gives a lot of separation between archers and enemy to prevent Percival from knocking them down. This is also good, since it lets enemy walk a bit before reaching gatehouse, letting archers attack for a longer period of time.
- Of course, make sure moat covers all castle wall to prevent, creepers, ladders, or any other seige equipment landing on walls.
- Make a pathway that follows a line of archers so when enemy finally reaches gatehouse, his troops are almost dead.
- Always, and I mean always, keep either Merlin, Ice queen, Or sorcerer just shy from the gatehouse so that this special troop can kill all giants, knights or any troops that gang up on the gatehouse. This is an especially important defensive strategy against Ice's Frost Giants.
Nice defense! The only mistake here is that you should seperate the towers so Parcival can't knock out them so easely.
