![]() You will need one tower close to the elevation, which overlooks the surrounding area. ![]() You can raise taxes to 2, while there is a good food variety in your granary. Only build enough buildings for a starting, self-sustained economy, since defense will require around half of your starting gold. Start food industry in the plentiful oasis, erect a few wood camps near the forest and lay down a mercenary post. You are given a huge stock to survive, but you will start with no weapons. Start by erecting the stockpile and granary close by. Although the pressure is not big at any stage of the game (Richard sends raids rather rarely), any unit that gets to your domain makes managing your economy harder. Having a very close neighbour, you have to build your economy and erect defenses very fast. You start in the west, the green Rat just next to you, foddering for the blue Lionheart on the other side of the map. The rush distance is also very short between neighbouring estates, which makes it ideal for aggressive openers. The middle position has no stone, and its outlying oasis is vulnerable to ranged fire. The "valley" position has ample oasis and forestation, while the hilltop has an additional stone. The Stairs is a map with a double ridge, increasing elevation from the west to the east and estates occupying each third of it. Also, to win this mission, you need to climb the ledge and press back first the Rat, then the Lionheart to contend his power. ![]() Given that you are also given little to no raw materials, the enemies have free reign over most of the map and will continue to send down units to test your mettle. Reflected as much by the enemy composition, you also have been placed under a top of a ridge, from where "your superiors" gaze down at you. This skirmish puts you against "the King" (aka the Lionheart) and his "vassal", the Rat. This is mission 4 in the Stronghold Crusader 2 skirmish trail, Desert Heat. ![]()
