Great Hall: Strategy [Experimental]

[Swadius]

If you move the green line up to the mouth of the stairs, you wouldn't need the red shields to keep them from coming over. Not only that, but now that the stairs are cut off from the nords, you can put the dep shields on the stairs themselves almost outside of bot melee range. On top of that, you could put two ranged characters behind the pillars on the cat walk up top to shoot at the nords.
