Tactics | Units Stronghold: Crusader II Guide

Playing Stronghold Crusader 2, especially during online matches, you will have to think of an action plan, you will have to think fast, anticipate movements of your enemy and so on. In short, you need to choose a tactic.

Your choice should be depend on a couple of variables:

• The amount of starting resources - food, goods, weapons.
• The amount of gold every players starts with - from 0 to 5000.
• The size of the army every player starts with - it can range from 0, when you only have your Lord, to several dozens of units.
• Peace Time - the amount of time in which every player is restricted to a small square of terrain around his castle. No units will be able to leave that terrain before the peace timer is over. It can either be turned off totally, or it can reach up to 30 minutes.

As you can see, there are different criteria which may affect the tactic you've decided to choose. If there's a peace timer set, each player starts with huge army and a small amount of gold, no one will be able to rush attack the other one. On the other hand, if the game is set in a way that every player starts with low amount of goods and no army, and no peace timer was set, you can easily build a small army and rush attack your adversaries.
