Battle tactics

There are various battle tactics with certain combinations of units and heroes in game. Here, we will mention some of them:

1) SIEGE RUSH
Army: 6 Halberdiers; 6 Champions; 4 Great Bowmen; 6 Rams; 1 Siege tower; 4 Longbowmen; 3 Teutonic Knights; 1 Mamluk; 4 Trebuchets (66 army space). +heroes: Nikephoros and Conrad
Description: Use Siege Tower to check for engineer traps, fire traps and attracting defense units in proximity. Use Longbowmen and Halberdiers to kill defending troops. Now:

• If the castle is wide, deploy all of the Trebuchets decently spaced with Nikephoros in the middle.
• If the castle is narrow, deploy 2+2 Trebuchets together with Nikephoros in the middle.

Use Teutonic Knights , Great Bowmen and Champions as meats and destroy the defenses in the first layer of castle by activating Nikephoros' ability and destroy as much walls as possible. Meanwhile, deploy 2+2+2 rams and direct them to different defense buildings depending upon the castle. If the Trebuchet Emplacement, Watch signal and Guard Houses are too deep in the castle, don't forget to use the rams on them as they are serious threats. If you are concentrate much enough, you can use them to destroy three more towers.

Drop Conrad, activate the second abolity of nikephoros. Use one treb on the keep and others on different towers. Trebuchets won't be destroyed under Conrad's ability protection even getting hit from cannons, archers and wall troops at the same time. Watch the fun.

Use Mamluk for outer building cleanup and your remaining units to further boost your %.

2) RED RIOT

Army: 3 Rams, 8 Champions, 8 Halberdiers, 8 Great Bowmen, 3 Teutonic Knights, 6 Grenadiers and 20 Raiders. (68 army space) +heroes: Hermann and Sviatoslav.

Description: Deploy 1 Champion to trigger traps and kite defender's troops, and keep them away from your attacking point.

Drop another Champion as a decoy for 2 Grenadiers to make the first breach. After the castle breached, drop a line of 3 Rams to make another hole to the keep. Drop 2-3 Champions and survived Grenadiers and direct them same way as your Rams.

Drop the rest of your Champions, Grenadiers, make a line of 4 Great Bowmes and your Teutonic Knight and let them loose. Drop Hermann and shield them all.

After you have an available path to the keep, split your raiders into 3 groups. 3 Raiders on right and left side to ransack resource buildings and 14 Raiders to destroy the keep. Boost their DPS with Sviatoslav's ability.

There you have a Red Riot.

Oh, You have Halberdiers only to kill horses and stop incoming relief troops.

We will regularly update this post with more tactics.
 

3) CAVALRY RUSH

Army: at least 15 Cavalry/Heavy Cavalry/Major Knights, some Infantry/Heavy Infantry/Champions as meatshields +heroes: Charlemagne and Belisarius.

Description: Drop one squad of Infantry to kite defending troops.

When defending troops have been distracted by Infantry, send Belisarius to dig shortest path to the keep.

When path is free, drop all Cavalry and direct them to keep. Right after, deploy Charlemagne and direct his ability to keep (Cavalry must be in Charlemagne's proximity). Then watch Cavalry destroying the keep, giving you 1-star victory.
