The warrior monk is a powerful melee unit in Stronghold 2.
Description[]
Warrior monks are zealous defenders of the church. They are armed with a shortsword and a shield, yet they are very fast and prove devastating in melee combat, capable of weakening even swordsmen. They can quickly close in on fleeing targets and make a formidable assault unit.
The warrior monk is recruited at the monastery.
Usage[]
Warrior monks come as an alternative to mercenaries, requiring no equipment but gold and honor to hire. They can serve as a special task force to intercept enemy workers and industry lines. They attack and move considerably fast, so they can quickly cause enough damage the enemy economy and draw units off the battlefield.
Monks can be used to rush careless enemies without hurting your own economy too much. Although honor will be quickly depleted when amassing warrior monks, there will be plenty of funds left to develop and build your industry and military.
They are a rare sighting in multiplayer due to their tech level and availability late in the game, but in "Baron" and "Duke" games they are seen somewhat often.
The AI lords make no use of the monastery and therefore none of them recruit warrior monks or fighting monks.
