Default Re: Storming Castles

I'd pull out the 75 HI and put them on land where they belong, relieving them with tritons or whatever underwater units I had. I haven't assaulted a Ry'leh nor a kelp fortress before, so I don't know what if any active defenses they have built-in. On land, good fortresses tend to have missile units on the walls which are part of the fort, not part of the army, and which in many cases can cause massive casualties, particularly if the defending mages and/or troops can hold off the attackers for a while.

However kelp fortresses might not have any such defenses.

Sometimes you get a report of no enemy presence in a castle because your scouts have failed, but when you show up there's a tough garrison there. Spies can sometimes show you what's there, but sending in a scout attack is a way to actually see what's there.
