Editing Rampart

{{Towns}}

The '''rampart town''' is a good [[alignment]] [[town type]] with [[ranger]] and [[druid]] [[hero class]]es. Ramparts are built by creatures in allied defense of the unspoiled wilderness regions of [[Enroth]]. With two slow creature types, [[Dwarf|dwarves]]  and [[dendroid]]s, rampart armies may be best suited to defensive tactics. Most of these creatures, however, have enemy hampering abilities that can be used to turn the tide against many opponents—especially those dependent on magical attacks. Rampart represent [[AvLee]].

== '''''Strategy''''' ==

*[[Silver Pegasus|Silver Pegasi]] are fragile and should be used with a little caution.

*The [[Gold Dragon]]s are nice level 7 monsters, but won't be affected by most of your group spells like [[haste]] or [[shield]] (15% to 30% to 30%, all units damage reduction in melee combat), although they are nice creatures for [[Dragogeddon]].

*[[Dendroid]]s and [[Battle Dwarf|Battle Dwarves]] are very good meatshields, often becoming useful in long fights. Use them to block pathways or to defend your elves. These troops benefit a lot from a simple [[Haste]] (three to five hexes additional movement per turn) spell.

*The [[Grand Elf]] is a nice shooter, but often [[blind]]ed (or [[direct damage spells|damaged]] through spells) by the AI. Thus, protecting this [[ranged attack]]er with [[Double attack]] by anti magic spells like [[Anti-Magic]] (4th or 5th level spells only, up to spell immunity) or [[Magic Mirror]] (20% to 40% chance of reflecting spells back to the enemy and then target a random stack) can be useful.

*The [[Unicorn]] is decent, but won't be too much of use in a siege.  

*The [[Centaur Captain]], however, is the best level 1 creature. (But  it was hard to decide that Centaur Captain / Halberdier)

*It is beneficial to build and upgrade your [[Homestead]] prior to all the other dwellings.

*With a [[Mage Guild]] lvl 5, it is always useful to pick up wisdom on your heroes.

*At sieges (especially when defending), use your [[Dendroid]]s to bind enemies in the moats.

*[[Dwarven Treasury]] - At the start of every week, you get a 10% bonus to your gold.

*[[Grand Elf]] - Speed 7 shooter with very high damage that is available early in the game.

*Several high-speed units that can form a very potent force in the late game.

*Rampart produces the most Hit Points per week of all towns.

*Large magic resistance for most of its units.

=== Cons ===

*Only 1 shooter (The [[Wood Elf]]/[[Grand Elf]])

*Four 2-hex units make for very easy targets for multi-hex attacks/spells

*[[Dendroid Guard]]s/[[Dendroid Soldier]]s slow armies down.
