Skirmish behaviour
A castle template of the Queen
The Queen is the strongest enemy in the game, only to be weaker than Lord Barclay. She is both strong in offense and defense, as well as in maintaining her economy. She prefers to use a small variety of troops, both mercenaries and units from the Barracks.
Her economy is very productive and based on iron and ale. It features all food types, most raw materials and a combination of pigs, vegetables and wine for the lord's kitchen. Later a church is built to provide a steady amount of honour from masses. She buys in wheat for mills and swords for faster recruitment.
The Queen builds castles ranging from middle to big size. She stations archers and ballistae on most towers with a help of a mangonel. Some swordsmen guard the entrance of the keep and strategic places. Rolling logs are mounted on longer wall sections against enemy laddermen.
This lady can quickly gather a mobile and deadly force for harassment. She brings a dozen horse archers and several catapults to bring down the enemy opposition. Since horse archers fire fast and accurately, it is a must to have a large force to contain the problem. Wipe them out with melee troops to force them to stop and fight, where they are vulnerable to missile fire.
Her attack force consists of a highly effective mixture of troops. Archers will try to soften up defenses while berserkers seek their way inside the enemy ranks to clean the way to the decisive swordsmen squads. From the siege camp 6-10 catapults, a cat and a battering ram will move out to help the infantry. A mixture of crossbowmen and archers could deflect the attack, but else, this force can cause massive destruction.
Appearance
She is an old, yet strong and sturdy woman. She wears a golden jeweled crown and a metal breastplate (and in this case, amazes most men, for and old frail lady like her can carry such heavy armor). She wields an iron sword.
