Strategic Analysis

Siege elephant for building destruction

  • Building Destroyer: +90 vs buildings is massive. One Armored Elephant can solo destroy a castle with enough time.
  • Arrow Tank: 140 pierce armor means arrows deal 1 damage. You can tank an entire army of archers.
  • Slow Push: 0.6 speed is very slow. Plan your attacks carefully - you can't retreat.

Warning: -2 melee armor means cavalry and infantry shred you. Monks also convert you easily. Need support.
