Re: A video guide to playing shutdown defense in Stronghold

Quote:
What would you do in this situation if you were on the red alliance?
Steadily cross blue outer works, obtain a boulder, cross back, shoot from outer works, rinse, repeat.

As cool as your proposed strategy sounds, I don't think it can be successful on the field.

Any strategy that requires each boulder be manipulated more than once will be significantly less efficient.

The issue of having all the boulders in the red courtyard can be mitigated by having the robot on defense shuttle some into the red secret passage while they are waiting around.

Even if there were enough boulders for a capture in the red courtyard after the outer works were breached, the blue alliance would have more trouble scoring them than you think. With four robots all running around in the tight quarters of the coutyard, blue alliance would be seriously hindered by the traffic, let alone the defense bot.
