Rock basket

The rock basket is a defensive tool appearing in Stronghold 2.
==Description==
The rock basket is simply a holder for an infinite number of rocks, which is used for close-ranged defense. It is best to mount on the edge of a wall section, where nearby soldiers can take rocks out of it and throw them on advancing enemies. It is a cheap means of defense, although its effectiveness is limited.
==Usage==
The basket is best used against enemy ladders, which may be set up directly against the wall, where the rocks can be thrown. Since ladders can be destroyed, several rocks can quickly bring an end to ladders and units climbing it. Rocks can be thrown on units underneath the wall, which can take away quite a bunch of health from them. The rocks also have AoE properties, allowing them to damage multiple units at once. However, this also applies to the player's units as well, it is recommended to have pikemen man the baskets as they can take some damage from any collateral damage and enemy fire. At least one or two units on a holding stance should man each basket as to avoid friendly fire.
If the walls around the basket are damaged, it is rendered unusable and disappears.
