The Wikipedia pages highlight a lot of what I jut said, but, this is also what I found from my personal testing. Some store just a few units there to hold off until they can defend, and others leave a massive, high level garrison in their castles. Some use the Castle as a troop-swapping area, and store troops there that they may use later. Some prefer to load it up with low-level troops to keep costs down. Marksmen have no points in Power Strike and less in Iron Flesh, so they can make for much better melee units should the need arise, so I also view them as more flexible.Īfter having used both extensively, I prefer Sharpshooters, since by time I am worried about having a large number of archers, I am often times going to be attack castles, and field battles are short enough that I don't mind missing the advantage of Sharpshooters. There are a few schools of thought on it. Rhodok Sharpshooters are better at attacking and defending castles, spawn with heavier gear (they have shields), with a slower rate of fire but more damage per shot.


Marksmen have better rate of fire on the field and do well against lightly armored units and infantry. They aren't outright one better than the other. That depends on what you are trying to do, honestly.
