Round table

I wonder if there are any Heroes players who, playing as Castle, do not upgrade the Archers in the first week when they come un-upgraded, in order to reach the Cavaliers in Castle?

I'm curious about their opinion — is it possible to reach Cavaliers in Castle with un-upgraded Archers, playing on the 2sm4d(3) template?

I'm interested in the probability percentage.

I really want to reach Cavaliers in Castle, but I haven't tried playing with un-upgraded Archers for this yet.:smile32:

Firstly, with Archers built from the start, Cavaliers in Castle are buildable BUT — let's consider the pros and cons of this matter.
Pros — at the start of the week, you additionally have access to: 1 Cavalier, 3 Swordsmen, 4 Archers, 7 Pikemen. IMHO an extra Cavalier is certainly not superfluous, BUT how much does it cost?
- Cons
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? :confused: 5000 for Castle + these troops, totaling around 8000. + most likely in the first week, with un-upgraded Archers, you'll earn less gold and experience, and have fewer chances to capture needed objects. In general, on a respawn that isn't insanely rich in free gold, a significant loss of tempo in the first week and a half is guaranteed. And if you have tons of gold, then it makes sense to think about Angels, at least in the Fort.
Conclusion — Cavaliers in Castle in practically all cases when the Archers are not built from the start lead to an unjustified loss of tempo; in short, it's not worth it IMHO=.
