Editing Talk:Rampart

== Strategy ==
* 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 these 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. Useful in tactical manuver called [[Dragogeddon]].
* [[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 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.
* It is beneficial to build and upgrade [[Homestead]] prior to all the other dwellings.
* At sieges when the wall is breached, it is possible to use [[Dendroid]]s to bind enemies in the moats.

== Pros ==
* [[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.
* 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.
* Many creatures with magic resistance or spell immunity capabilities.

== 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 and [[Dwarf|Dwarves]]/[[Battle Dwarf|Battle Dwarves]] slow armies down.
* [[Gold Dragon]]s can not be resurrected

=== Related Luck and Resistance ===

Found that Relation heading in [http://heroes.thelazy.net/wiki/Rampart_town&oldid=1592#Related History] page x]

IMO it was there, bcoz [[Luck_(skill)]] has that horseshoe which associates with Rampart horses somehow ({{Hn|Melodia}} specializes in [[Image:Specialty_Fortune_small.gif]] Fortune)

And [[Resistance]] which is {{Cn|Dwarf}}s and {{Cn|Unicorn}}s Special ability with Heroes {{Hn|Thorgrim}}, {{Hn|Ufretin}} and {{Hn|Clancy}}

:How does a horseshoe relate to Ramapart, I did not get that? :) There is a vague relation with luck, as the Rampart's grail building also gives luck and many of the Rampart heroes have luck as a strating skill. In the same sense Leadership relates to Castle (grail building, starting skills). In conclusion, I am willing to admit, that Rampart have some links to Luck, but not enought to say that Luck as Secondary Skill is somehow related to an entire Town. But then again, it is just me. :P –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] 11:55, 24 March 2014 (CET)

=== Unicorns in Strategy ===

I dare to say that the sentence "The Unicorn is decent, but won't be too much of use in a siege." is completely useless. If it's meant like that a Unicorn won't help you much when you are attacking a castle, a Unicorn is no more useless than any other  not flying / not ranged creature. And if it is meant like that a Unicorn isn't of much help when you are defending a castle, I'd say that it is not true - a Unicorn, besides its great tanking abilities and great attack, can blind enemies, which might be very helpful.

:You are right. The strategy section has many flaws, and that sentence was just rubbish. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 07:06, 4 October 2016 (CEST)
