Tactics for Rampart.

I take Ivor or Kirr, build up the High Elves, and head out to clear the area. In terms of troops, I primarily prefer taking centaurs and elves, maybe pegasi; the rest stay in the Castle for larger-scale battles. I prefer to build dragons on week 3-4 and use them to clear the territory and make raids into enemy lands, although it all depends on the situation—in some cases, dragons may not be needed, especially with a shortage of crystals. As a rule, centaurs and elves are enough to clear the main "population" of the map; the rest of the army can be taken, for example, to capture the Dragon Utopia or destroy the enemy. I take treants and dwarves only if there is enough gold for the entire army and the final battle is presumably approaching; otherwise, these "slowpokes" usually stay in the Castle because they are inefficient in combat due to their slowness—it's better to replace them with faster yet strong units if a second castle is available. Although, with Haste or Teleport, they make quite decent warriors.
