Discussion about the Stronghold faction.

ramzez, I will soon be playing with your faction. Question: I don't quite understand the Stalkers. What are their special abilities? I mean, the upgraded ones, when they don't attack but do something else. I tried it, but I don't understand what's really going on there. And do you have a hero who specializes in Stalkers? If he's good with Stalkers, what additional bonuses are there? And tell me a little about your faction's strongest units and ability options.

It seems there are no downsides to using Stalkers, unlike the Priestesses: they do exactly what they say they do. I'm writing about the upgraded Stalkers right away. It's like night and day: they can affect all your units or all enemy units. On your units: +1 to movement and initiative. On enemy units: -1 to movement and 3 damage (earth). Unimproved Stalkers do the same thing, but only on one target and a little stronger. By the way, the computer never uses Stalkers in duels for some reason.
There is a special ability for the hero: +2 Stalkers. It doesn't give anything other than an increase, and it doesn't necessarily require the hero to be in the Castle – he can wander around anywhere, and the increase still applies.
