In each case, you decide how many
knights are placed in these buildings
(garrisons, watchtowers, and guard
huts). The optimal occupation rate is
indicated next to the four images. The
buildings located on the front line
should be full, the ones on the second
line should be well occupied, the ones
on the third line moderately full, and
the garrisons deep in the inner-serfdom
should be nearly empty. Thus, your bor-
ders are optimally protected.

The second word shows the minimum
amount of troops to be left behind,
should you decide to use knights to
attack the enemy: “good” for the front
line, “average” for behind the front,
“weak” for the third line, and “mini-
mum” for the inner-serfdom. Here are
some examples: if you read “full/good,”
this means that all buildings must be
occupied to the maximum and if your
troops attack the enemy, you only send
out a few knights, keeping enough of
them inside to maintain a “good” occu-
pation rate. If you choose “full/full,” the
knights occupy the buildings equally,
and none of them leave for an attack.
Your front-line will thus be protected to
the maximum. But in this case, the
knights remaining in remote buildings
need more time to get to the front-line,
as the road to travel is longer. With
