Their base dwelling costs 20 {{c}} and 20 {{o}}, making it the most expensive 6th level creature town structure in the game. Moreover, 20 crystals is double of what is needed for the [[Behemoth Lair]], so their dwelling is usually built a while after the [[Behemoth]]s', which results in lower numbers and efficiency, especially on smaller maps. In {{hota}}, the cyclopes' base dwelling cost has been reduced to 20 ore and no crystal, in an attempt to balance the town's building progression. | |||
Cyclops Kings have brilliant speed for a ranged unit, and thus are able to act prior to many strong enemies (e.g. they're faster than [[Swordsman and Crusader|Crusaders]] or [[Pit Fiend and Pit Lord|Pit Lords]]). When having accumulated large amounts of them, use Cyclops Kings as your main ranged unit, replacing slow and not very strong [[Orc and Orc Chieftain|Orcs]]. Don't neglect the upgrade of Cyclopes, as fast shooter is a rare thing in the game. When playing with [[Yog]], Cyclops Kings will be unstoppable having outstanding speed 9 and stats rising throughout the game, which makes him one of the best Stronghold heroes. Destroying fortifications is not reliable, but still may help a lot during a siege. | Cyclops Kings have brilliant speed for a ranged unit, and thus are able to act prior to many strong enemies (e.g. they're faster than [[Swordsman and Crusader|Crusaders]] or [[Pit Fiend and Pit Lord|Pit Lords]]).
