Player reviews

They write about Harald: “the commander whom everyone forgot, but he drags.” In KvK mass fights, his activity on 5+ targets shows cosmic numbers. Beginners are advised to take a closer look if the kingdom plays infantry, but it still loses to the SZ meta to beginners.

Adviсe

Harald reveals himself in the center of the landfill - feel free to take him to where the most enemies are. Solo marching with Harald is good for gathering raids. Don't put him against cavalry - she will go around him and disassemble him.
