Dragonstone

Location

Dragonstone is one of the the major factions in Westeros in the mod AWOIAF. Dragonstone is located right above The Stormlands and to the right of The Westerlands. Because they are located on an island for the most part, this makes battle against dragonstone quite difficult as they tend to have the advantage on the sea. Due to their location on the sea and their islands, the kingdom of Dragonstone has great defenses. They also have a city located at the bottom of Stormland territory and a few castles located in the middle of Stormland territory. Dragonstone is a massive supplier of fish and salt because of their location on islands in the sea. They also suffer from not having as many cities as some of the other kingdoms. Dragonstone is mainly a military force rather than an agricultural power. As their king is a great general and leader he is very respected among his subjects, however he is not very charismatic and suffers from a lack of support.

Tactics

Summary

Dragonstone uses a wide array of troops that are pretty balanced. However they specialize in medium armored infantry and medium armored shock cavalry. Because Dragonstone has good medium infantry units they are best used in sieges and protecting archers on the field. In a field battle it is advisable to send your Dragonstone cavalry slamming through the enemies infantry in order the break their formation, and then charge your infantry through the crippled infantry and archers. Though, A good way to combat Dragonstone units is by having your archers gain the high ground and fire down upon them. Westerland crossbowmen seem to do a good job of this.
