The Wolf


by Wraith

The Wolf holds his castle in an iron grip, but it is his passion for warfare that makes him one of the most feared opponents. Deliberate and cunning, he will use every military trick and tactic at his disposal to win the day.

Nicknames: Duc Volpe, Lord Fairfang, Lord Lupus, Earl Redclaw, Lord Crackbone, Lord Howlingtop, Lord Greyback, The Big Bad Wolf

Difficulty: Hard

Missile troops built: Archers, Crossbowmen

Melee troops built: Swordsmen, Pikemen

Siege equipment built: Catapults, Mangonels, Fire Ballista, Siege Oilers

Castle rating: **
Though looking offensive, is EXTREMELY vulnerable to attack by fire.

Tactics: To defend against the Wolf, be sure to have crossbowmen standing guard. Archers will help against the pikemen, but will do you no good against his swordsmen. Killing the wolf can prove to be a challenge as he fills his keep with swordsmen. I recommend obliterating his castle and trebbing his keep. This will take out many of his tougher troops. Another tactic would be to assault the castle with a lot of crossbowmen, after his mangonels have been taken care of. You can destroy his economy by setting fire to the rear of his castle, which has been left quite undefended. Another bonus while fighting him is his cruelty level. On average his troops will be -2, a good sign for you. Watch out though, as he tends to use pitch!!!
