Walkthrough & Notes

Walkthrough Basic Strategy (Solo/Duo) The battleground this time around is akin to that of a simpler version of the Deeping Wall without the aid of rock drops. Instead, you are given a slightly damaged Medium Catapult. Fortunately, you will not have to worry about any enemy siege weapons, but rather keeping your allies in good shape. A good strategy to try is to switch everyone into Two-handed stance and prioritize Sappers. Though you can tend to multiple Soldiers at once, keeping the banners up is slightly more challenging. First Assault The enemy will march towards the wall, meaning this will be your opportunity to order the Commanders and use the catapult. Prepare for the side objectives Bring Down the Siege Ladders and Repair the Portcullis. Second Assault The second wave will not differ much from the first. Keep an eye on the banners and be prepared for the side objectives, Protecting the Gatehouse, Winches in the Windows, and The Final Blockade Notes The Medium Catapults require three cranks before it can fire, significantly limiting its use once the enemy reaches the wall; try to time your shots to hit the front line of the advancing army before they move out of range. Slowing powder can keep them in place if available. There may be a bug starting the battle. If you have finished Epic Battle: The Glittering Caves only with a fellowship, the start button may be grayed, even if the epic quest line has advanced to the Hornburg scenario. Finish the glittering caves solo/duo first. Then the Hornburg epic battle can be started correctly.
