Overview

Serjeant: Serjeants can build and repair Donjons, which creates an early forward-pressure option for Sicilians. The unit’s structure ability can turn control of one lane into a defended production foothold.

Plan and execution

Scout a route near an exposed resource or approach, then escort Serjeants and builders while the first Donjon is constructed. Use its protection to secure nearby space and reinforce the pressure only if the position survives the initial response. Repair from a safe angle and keep a retreat route for the builders.

Risks and adaptation

The stone and unit investment is substantial, and a forward Donjon can be isolated or bypassed. Do not attempt the drop without scouting, protection, and a follow-up plan; stop investing if the opponent can contain the site.
