The Knights of the Round Table are some of the less understood units in Stronghold Legends.
Despite being a cornerstone of the Arthurian faction, these units seem to barely offer more combat power than a regular Knight at first glance, with an ability each. What makes them exceptionally hard to use is the fact that each ability requires a lot of time to recharge, and investing into one puts a large burden on your coffers, most knights requiring several hundred gold and honor to enlist.
There are six Knights of the Round Table, each coming with a different color, ability and recruitment price. An Arthur player can recruit them at the Round Table, and only have one of each Knight can exist at any given time. While a Knight is active, his shield will be taken from the Round Table and an ability indicator will be added in the right edge of the HUD, making their presence easy to identify. Each Knight also gets a large indicator circle beneath their unit.
Knights of the Round Table behave just like a regular Knight from the Barracks: they arrive mounted, they can scale fortifications (dismounting beforehand) and fight with a longsword that rivals even the Lord in power. An important aspect of them is an immunity to knockback, making them formidable even against massive hails of rocks and bolts.
These Knights also can be used to fire their trademark abilities once they are off cooldown. In order to do so, the ability must be cast close to the Knight (about half a screen of maximum distance), by right-clicking the ability on the HUD and then left-clicking at a target point. The affected area will be crossed out, if the cast location is invalid. Abilities are set to quarter of their total cooldown when the Knight rejoins the battlefield.
It is important to note that frozen units are completely stopped from interacting, and Knights of the Round Table are no exception. What's more, their ability cannot be even clicked on the HUD, so they should be kept far away from the freezing beams of Ice Mirrors and the Ice Queen.
