Fulford Gate multi-front Castle defense
Fulford Gate requires a large economy against early Saxon attacks from two directions. Add Town Centers and Villagers, then use Castles and trade to stabilize before counterattacking.
Overview
Fulford Gate requires a large economy against early Saxon attacks from two directions. Add Town Centers and Villagers, then use Castles and trade to stabilize before counterattacking.
Plan and execution
Build two or three Town Centers and grow toward a hundred Villagers as resources allow. Place two Castles north to meet Eadwin and two east against Morcar, then use Tostig’s trade route to reduce exposure at the gold mines. Attack Eadwin’s nearby Siege Workshops and Villagers to stop the Siege Ram threat, and clear his western base when the defenses can support the move.
Risks and adaptation
Rams target the Castle line while separate armies hit different sides. Do not mine exposed gold without a replacement income route, and keep enough mobile units to screen builders.
