Enemies can attack them quickly, before you can arrive with your field/siege defense army. This works well with several types of offensive cheese.Ĭonversely, ladder settlements are a pain in the ass to defend. This lets you avoid the clusterf*** of defenders at the top of one by jumping up another. In addition, many ladder settlements in PoP have several ladders. Building ladders takes next to no time, meaning that your enemy can't come swooping down on you while you are preparing. Ladder settlements are the bomb to attack. There are also a couple of settlements that are both (High Pass Keep requires you to build a Siege Tower but has a ladder for easy access). It is very important that you know/remember which of your cities are which because it will definitely determine the city. The two types I am talking about are Siege Towers and Ladders.

There are two basic types of settlements to siege, and I don't mean Towns versus Castles.

Here are the basics that you need to know and understand before we start talking about strategies. This is a long guide, but scroll through to find the section you need most. I hope that this helps you in your quest for World Domination. In the next month or so, I will post some videos of this on my Youtube channel and link them in. To each his own, however you play Pendor, these strategies should enhance your sieging. You don't see Aragorn getting ♥♥♥♥♥-slapped around Middle Earth by a bunch of peasant girls, do you? I find that medium on Pendor gives me a nice balance of challenge, but still the chance to be that clearly defined hero. I enjoy playing my games as a fantasy lord and in all the fantasy movies I watched, the central character is a one man wrecking ball. I just don't see the point, to be honest. Note, I do not play Pendor on Hardest difficulty. Then again, why are you trying to hold castles and towns if you aren't level 20 yet? To make this work optimally, you probably need to be around level 20. Please note that these are a bit more advanced. It took me quite a while to figure these tricks out, but now that I have, I rarely, if ever, lose a siege defense. These are some tips, tricks and outright, unshamed cheese that I have picked up through hours of playing PoP. Nothing sucks more than taking a town and then getting steam rolled by an enemy faction that brings 1,000+ men to the fight. As anyone who has fought sieges in PoP before knows, it can be a nightmare.
