Default Re: Yet another Clamhoarding, Castling Discussion

So in essence, having a castle would mean you sent ghost riders and not having one a horde (meaning the diffrence). Were you to be only sending a summoned army that is.

And the lab, well if there wasn't a lab there anyway he would have to take a turn to build one so thats the same as seiging and taking the castled one. All under the same threat of retributive strike from the original defender.

It would seem to be a tactic of assest protection. If im going to build a lab that usually means I have a reason to, gem focal centre, summoned army producer, bloodhunters....Which if an enemy attacked I would be trying to retake in as hostile a manner as possible.

If its an empty province as it were, low pop, low gold, no sites or low production one etc. I probably wouldnt build a lab.

The reason Im going through these thought lines is because Im trying to understand why people would get 'overly' angry at it as a tactic....You attack an enemy and you know that the enemy is going to come for you with what hes got. Summoned, teleported, flying or on foot.

Its a chance you take to use a castle storming army behind your main strike/wall destruction army as to if you face a summoned force of riders or a main attack response.
