Hello to all. I am new here. Forum is really good and all Stronghold 2 Nation.

What is the best tactic against mass shields, horse archers, catapults, balistas etc...

How players can stand with this kind of tactics and oppose?

This is a great question!

When it comes to things like Cats, I usually attempt to manually dismantle them with troops, or take them out via powerful long-ranged troops. The only other real way is either wall-mounted rolling logs, or usually some kind of fire, which can destroy them exceptionally fast.

Horse Archers are a major pain. I've been decimated by those far more times than I'd like to admit by @ Mathew Steel .... especially when in larger groups. I have a really efficient tactic of spawning Knights very fast, so Tom decided to start spawning many Horse Archers to combat them.. and, to be fair it works, quite well. I find Fire Ballistae work really well in dispensing Horse Archers.

Catapults and Ballistae are much easier to destroy unless in particularly large groups, but I'm quite traditional in that I always believe in taking out the siege equipment first. I tend to send melee troops out to destroy these units or harass them with guerilla warfare to wear them down and then take them out.

Hope this helps!

    • Aggressive Outlaws and Bugged Troops

      Hey everyone, I have a bit of a problem here. So, I'm working on a war custom map and used the SH2-to-S2m file trick to place some ruins and give myself some additional outlaw units to place across the map.   Everything was going fine, until the outlaws I placed a started gradually migrating towards my castle and attacking my buildings.?   To compound this, many times my troops won't take any command orders; I order them to attack a unit, and they just stand there. Other times, they will move of

      Hi, I have found Stronghold 2 AI Editor at Heaven Games, and I have downloaded, and I tried using it. http://stronghold2.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=490   There are two Williams castles that needed to be fixed, so I did that - he had problems because of the moat (that was the issue on both castles), so I removed the moat, and he had two towers with doors to outside instead of to inside (that is on one castle), so I deleted those two towers and I put those with correct orientat

    • Disable certain type of trip troops in kingmaker map?

      Hi, do you know how could we disable some unit types in kingmaker map? It's not that I need i it right now, but after making those William's castles, and after playing Tokamaps's most resent kingmaker map started to wonder about this one.   This would make kingmaker harder, as without knights it would be harder to kill a lord in a well defended castle. Also, I believe that Tokamaps disabled buying any type of goods on his map, and that made me believe that similar is possible with troops.   I'm

    • Building and troops availability with through ranks

      Hi. I wrote about this before, but now I didn't manage to find that exact tread... I was thinking about making a table I could also print, and that would help me in playing Stronghold 2 - especially in multiplayer. The thing is that there are many cheap, yet useful, buildings which you can build since some rank, but at the moment you may not notice that, and now you can have a reminder for that. At that moment Chris showed me this article he had already made.   I used this article now, and I hav
