get 7 marksmen and a bunch of little guys and just wait for your opponent to come in range, if u have 2 guys doing that its a stalemate, yes talking about battles, and when your new you got old friends that stick together ganging up on you in campaigns

You are talking about the battles right?

I guess it depends on the map, but usually it just becomes a maneuver exercise for me. If you come at most positions from the right direction with the right formation you can gain an advantage. The tactic that has always annoyed me is castle sitting. That is the real unfair advantage.

I always thought it was annoying but funny that people would castle sit. Annoying because of the extra time it takes to do nothing more than move, but funny because i would eventually trap them inside the castle and destroy them anyway.

yeah thats easy for you to there coopels lol

Im with coopels kinda on the castle sitting, its not hard to just wait outside and bring 2/3 cats down and destroy the place, the advantage is lost when you cant create any more toops

Castle sitting in battles doesn't work because the player attacking from outside can always get an advantage in ranged troops. It takes a long time, but having 3 or 4 shots on a single troop will win, just remember to come in on a corner of the castle and pick off whatever the player has left vulnerable.

Do troops in battles get a defense bonus while in the castle? Not that it really matters.

well to me it does'nt matter at all where u are position u either going to win or you are going to lose depends on what kind of stratergy you got with what troops you use

I agree w/ RR .

If you only defend your castle,then your opponent will have the income advantage of owning the goldmines.

have castle slabs count up on food. more food storage with more income... its only purpose is as a counter for sieges... I.E. troops consume food in castles, and if you run out of food, any troops kept in the castle get hurt a little bit.

then, in battles, the castles come with no food, or very little. so you have no reason to stay, you're troops will just start starving.

this way, even if castle slabs don't give an advantage in battles (doesn't seem to be agreement on this with commenters, I wouldn't know, haven't played in forever), at least there will be a penalty for not moving. so things will happen faster.
