The queen - the only monarch many in the United Kingdom have ever known - died there Sept. Giles’ Cathedral after it had been brought there from her cherished summer retreat, Balmoral. The coffin traveled to London from Edinburgh, where 33,000 people filed silently past it in the 24 hours at St. Her son, King Charles III, and other immediate family members waited inside. Thousands outside the palace cheered, shouted “God save the queen!” and clapped as the hearse swung around a roundabout in front of the queen’s official London residence and through the wrought iron gates. In the city, people pressed in on the road and held their phones aloft as it passed. People parked their cars along a normally busy road, got out and waved as the hearse, with lights inside illuminating the flag-draped coffin, made its way into London. Of course this is not by any means the be-all end-all approach and I encourage you to experiment and figure out the army composition formula which works best for you.LONDON (AP) - The coffin of Queen Elizabeth II returned to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening, making its way through a drizzly London as crowds lined the route for a glimpse of the hearse and to bid her a final farewell.
If there are over 25 catapults in my attack, then I use pikemen. So here is my rule, if there are 25 or fewer catapults in my attack, I will use swordsmen to clear the moat. So by the time they get through the moat, chances are that the towers have already been destroyed, allowing the pikemen to bring the fight to the keep. Pikes on the other hand dig moats considerably slower. This is because, although fast, once the swordsmen are through the moat, all they can do is stand in the catapult volley getting hit while the catapults take down the towers. If I’m using 100 or so catapults, I tend to favor pikemen to dig the moat. The rule of thumb I employ is largely based on the number of catapults I used in the attack. There has been some debating as to which unit is best for digging up moats, I have concluded that both pikemen and swordsmen have their merits and each can work well given the correct situation. The pikeman’s high health will allow him to last longer inside the white line than any other troop. This is largely due to their massive health bonus which allows them to last longer under fire then any other unit, the expensive captain being the only exception.įor pillage and ransack attacks, pikemen are you unit of choice, largely due to the time requirement of the attack. Pikeman OffenseĪlthough pikemen are considered a defensive unit, in Stronghold Kingdoms they make the best all around melee unit for attacks as well. Five or so for each exit is usually plenty but make sure you have your outer towers manned with archers or else the enemy archers will easily kill off your pikemen. Pikemen can also be placed in your sally exits on your castle to make it more resistant to AI pillages and ransacks.
Oil pots and moat placed strategically will increase the effectiveness of this tactic. Place ~150 pikemen to block off access to the keep and place archers on your outer towers to keep enemy archers from sniping your pikemen. It’s also typical to see pikeman employed en masse in front of your keep if a human attacker has destroyed the towers in front of your castle, leaving the keep exposed.
Captains are much stronger but also much more expensive so for everyday situations it makes sense to use the pikeman instead. Pikeman make a great defensive unit and you should have five placed in your keep at all times. Each Pikeman requires a peasant, a pike, a suit of Armor, and fifty gold. Pikemen are also excellent at assaults, having the highest armor defense rating against ranged damage of any unit in the game.īefore you can train pikemen you must be rank 11 (Yeoman) or higher and have completed the required research. They are great at blocking access to your castle’s keep while your archers pick off the attacking force. The Pikeman is the most versatile melee unit in Stronghold Kingdoms as it fills both aggressive and defensive roles.
