| '''Rampart''' is a [[alignment|good alignment]] [[town]] with the [[Ranger]] and [[Druid]] [[hero class]]es. Rampart represents [[AvLee]]. | | 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 [[Erathia]]. 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. |

|
| |
|
| {{user commentary|
| | Alignment: Good |
| * With two slow creature types, [[Dwarf and Battle Dwarf|dwarves]] and [[Dendroid Guard and Dendroid Soldier|dendroids]], rampart armies may be best suited to defensive tactics. Most of Rampart creatures, however, have enemy hampering abilities that can be used to turn the tide against many opponents, especially those dependent on magical attacks.
| |
| * [[Silver Pegasus|Silver Pegasi]] are among the fastest creatures in the game, which often offers chance to act first in combat. However, they are quite fragile and should be used with caution.
| |
| * [[Gold Dragon]]s' [[spell immunity]] is a double-edged sword, their skills cannot be enhanced but nor can they be diminished.
| |
| * '''Beware of Green and Gold Dragons' breath attack which can damage your own troops.'''
| |
| * Having only Gold Dragons in your army and having learnt [[Armageddon]] spell somewhere, you may rush through the map with [[Dragogeddon]] manoeuvre. Green Dragons cannot be used for Dragogeddon as they are susceptible to 4-5 level spells.
| |
| * [[Dwarf and Battle Dwarf|Dwarves]] and [[Dendroid Guard and Dendroid Soldier|Dendroids]] are tough and useful in shielding Elves (or other shooters).
| |
| * The [[Grand Elf]] is a nice shooter, but is often [[blind]]ed or [[direct damage spells|damaged]] through spells. 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.
| |
| * It is beneficial to build and upgrade [[Homestead]] prior to all the other dwellings.
| |
| * Defending a town, it is possible to use [[Dendroid]]s to bind enemies in the moats.
| |
| * Try to build [[Treasury]] as soon as possible. Having a Treasury, don't spend money on Days 5-7 if it isn't necessary, and try to sell resources for gold at a [[Marketplace]] or [[Trading Post]]. You will earn interest when the new week begins.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Pros:'''
| | Native Terrain: [[Grass]] |
| * [[Centaur]]s and [[Centaur Captain]]s are among the best 1st level creatures.
| |
| * Several [[Treasury|Treasuries]] can become extremely powerful in longer games as every treasury's 10% bonus is cumulative.
| |
| * [[Grand Elf|Grand Elves]] are fast [[ranged attack|ranged units]] that can be acquired early in the game and, what is even more important, shoot twice.
| |
| * Several units with high speed rating can form a very potent force in the late game.
| |
| * Rampart produces the most hit points per week of all towns.
| |
| * The weekly income with Capitol and the Resource Silo is enough to recruit all the units without any external mines.
| |
| * Many anti-magic abilities of creatures. This includes [[Dwarf and Battle Dwarf|Dwarves']] resistance, ability of [[Pegasus and Silver Pegasus|Pegasi]] to increase cost of a spell casted by the enemy hero, [[Unicorn and War Unicorn|Unicorns']] aura of resistance, and finally [[Green Dragon and Gold Dragon|Green and Gold Dragons']] immunity to the majority of spells (Gold Dragons can be part of [[Dragogeddon]]).
| |
| * Unicorns are versatile high-level warriors, useful in both attack and defense. After being upgraded, they become one of the fastest creatures unable to fly, and have brilliant health. Moreover, they are very cheap, as [[Manticore and Scorpicore|Scorpicores]] and [[Wyvern and Wyvern Monarch|Wyvern Monarchs]] have higher price and lower stats than War Unicorns (while being quite faster than the latter and able to fly).
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Cons:'''
| | ==Related== |
| * Only 1 shooter (The [[Wood Elf]]/[[Grand Elf]]) which is only 3 lvl and has low hit points.
| | [[Luck]], [[Resistance]] |
| * [[Dendroid Guard]]s/[[Dendroid Soldier]]s and [[Dwarf|Dwarves]]/[[Battle Dwarf|Battle Dwarves]] slow armies down.
| |
| * [[Gold Dragon]]s can not be [[Resurrection|resurrected]], but unlike [[Black Dragon]]s can be killed by [[Implosion]].
| |
| * Gold Dragons are very fast, but they are immune to [[Haste]] and [[Prayer]]. Therefore, [[Necropolis]] and [[Fortress]] have an opportunity to overtake Rampart by top speed since they both have creatures faster than [[Pegasus and Silver Pegasus|Silver Pegasi]].
| |
| * [[Pegasus and Silver Pegasus|Pegasi]] are very fragile and not very strong, having the lowest HP among 4th-level melee units and no combat abilities like [[Crusader]]s' [[double attack]] or [[Basilisk]]s' [[petrifying attack|petrification]]. Moreover, their dwelling requires high amount of [[Crystal]]s, and without it you will never get [[Unicorn and War Unicorn|Unicorns]] and Dragons.
| |
| * Unlike [[Dungeon]], Rampart cannot have [[Armageddon]] in the [[Mage Guild]], decreasing the possibility of [[Dragogeddon]]. Moreover, Rangers cannot learn [[Fire Magic]], which disallows them to use Armageddon spell in the most effective way. On the other hand, [[Prayer]] spell is allowed in Rampart and banned in Dungeon, and it strongly buffs Green Dragons (but not Gold Dragons).
| |
| * Grass which is Rampart's [[native terrain]] doesn't give any [[movement penalty]] to the enemy.
