Arthur/Strategies (SHL)

===Defense===
Arthur builds a densely walled, square-shaped castle in the design akin to that of Richard The Lionheart from Crusader. He includes the keep in the enclosure and adds engine towers on each corner, each hosting either a mangonel or a dragon harpoon with archers. There are two gatehouses on the sides which allow seamless traffic through the castle, guarded by pikemen. The more open wall sections are reinforced by rolling logs.
===Economy===
King Arthur's economy is a robust and versatile one, featuring extensive weapons and ale production. He brings in lots of honor from the pantry by producing vegetables, wine and pigs. Two quarries and three iron mines create resources for profit and construction. Arthur manufactures equipment for his army in numerous workshops, and even buys them aggressively to create lots of troops. 
Due to the heavy gold investment in his industry, Arthur's economy tends to greatly slow down his recruitment until developed.
===Offense===
Arthur builds armies of expensive troops that are tailored to breach a castle with great efficacy from the Round Table's knights. He brings in a mix of archers and heavy armor: pikemen and swordsmen. He also creates a number of siege equipment to create breaches and dock on walls in the form of numerous catapults, a ram and a siege tower. Cats are also constructed to provide additional defense against ranged units.
Most notably, Arthur is a dedicated user of the Round Table: of powerful units, who have the ability to quickly turn the tides of battle. He brings Gawain, Galahad, Bedivere and Percival alongside his infantry, and sends them in waves after each other. Of the knights, Sir Percival tends to be most liberal with his explosion ability, sending units into oblivion, while Sir Bedivere gets close to the walls and bring down a chunk of them. Rarely, Galahad can be seen healing wounded unit groups.
With his economy set up, Arthur also sends raiding groups. Usually these consist of smaller bands of archers, pikemen or swordsmen, but he can also send in more expensive options. He often summons Merlin alone, targeting wandering peasants with his lightning and also taking out groups of units with Dragon's Breath. Very rarely, he also sends a green dragon over the terrain targeting clumps of units.
