Alfred the Great/Strategies (SHL)

===Defense===
Alfred the Great builds a simple rectangular castle with double walls and a single gatehouse in the southern side. He surrounds his enclosure with moat and stations archers at regular intervals on the walls. Oil tipper wall defenses are also present next to the gate and on the sides. Alfred uses neither traps, nor towers, as he chooses to overlook his rather large interior from his keep. A group of swordsmen guards the lord closely when not deployed to deal with harassment.
===Economy===
The economy of Alfred is well-suited for generating wealth for cheap units. Since he has needs for very little honor, he completely skips royal food, while only producing meat from chicken farms. The foundation for Alfred's income is the church, utilizing up to five chandler's workshops to keep up with demand and to increase taxes. Alfred also employs numerous poleturners and fletchers to supply his army and aggressively buys equipment, whenever he has the funds.
===Offense===
Alfred is a unique lord among all Legends characters, as he does not attempt to lay a proper siege on an enemy's castle. Instead, he relies on sending swarms of raiding barracks units at various targets.
Groups of men-at-arms and archers in varying sizes are to be expected from Alfred, coming after one another. These usually arrive in packs of 7 to 15, nonetheless he can send as many as 50 troops in an attempt. Single catapults are also a common sight from Alfred, which are sent to mostly deal damage from close range.
