The first things that your village needs are wood and stone, which are used to build buildings, and apples, which are used to feed your peasants.

The hall also determines how effective decorative, entertainment and justice buildings are, as well as certain banqueting goods buildings the closer they are to the hall, the more efficient they are.

The village hall sits at the centre of every village, and is the only building which cannot be moved. Your first village will already contain three buildings: To succeed in the game, you will need a well-built village. To move around the village, left-click-and-hold on an open piece of ground and drag the cursor.

By contrast this attack was cheaper than one I did with Swordsmen although the Swordsmen attack was over in about half the time due to how quickly Swordsmen dig up Moats.Total number of points on the LeaderboardĬlicking on this icon gives access to Strategy Cards and card options, such as Manage Cards, Get Crowns etc. If you don’t die from boredom after watching your Pikemen and Archers dig up The Pig’s Moat for around 5 minutes you will get to see the result screen below. You may notice a common glitch in the setup image, The Pig’s Guard Houses are shown as the default wooden ones when in fact they are Stone Guard Houses as you will see in the Result image below. My Archers are in staggered formations and the center ones are placed to the front so as to hopefully kill off The Pig’s Archers on the center Great Tower behind the Moat before they do too much damage to my Catapults.Īll the Catapults are aimed at th Keep as The Pig doesn’t deploy any Ballistas in his castle design. Pig Castle #5’s huge Moat is a pain to dig up with anything less than Swordsmen but sticking with my base formula I’m doing it with the much cheaper Pikemen. Besides the outrageous Moat and the Archers in the outer towers (which will quickly pick off your Catapults) nothing about this castle is really challenging. I am a prolific AI castle remover ingame and in all my 2+ years playing I’ve encountered maybe a handful of Pig Castle #5 Castles in my Parishes. It seems that most of the time, when a Parish has enough high level players to sanction this castle appearing, they also are qualified for some of the mid-sized Wolf Castles which are by far more common. All in all, I would have to say Pig Castle #5 is quite rare.
