The cat is a defensive equipment used in Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends.
Description[]
This big shield resembles the mantlet, being able to soak up incoming projectiles. However, it can also soak up aerial attacks and has much more health, although ranged units cannot fire from inside.
It is best used with armored melee units such as pikemen, swordsmen and knights due to their slow movement speed. Faster moving melee units can also benefit from the cover while sieging, although it is less useful when an opening has been made due to their faster speed. Many cats are recommended as like all siege equipment, they are susceptible to melee and fire.
