Augolia Siege Map Guide – Conqueror’s Blade

General Overview:
Augolia is a large fortress-style map with strong layered defenses and a central courtyard that becomes the focal point of battle. The attacking side must break through a sequence of outer defenses to reach the final capture point. Augolia is known for its intense gate fights and brutal final hold.

Key Features:

• 2 Front Gates (Left and Right)
• Multiple Ladders and Siege Towers for wall scaling
• Inner Gatehouse before the final point
• Central Courtyard (Final Capture Zone)
• Destroyable Breach
• High defensive battlements and murder holes

Attacker Strategy:

1. Siege Phase:
   • Deploy siege towers early and protect them—especially the left tower which offers better elevation options [Towards Point B]
   • Use culverins and mortars to pressure defenders on walls [Focus Enemy Artillery + Canon units]
   • Deploy ladders on far-left and far-right flanks to split defender attention. Your Goal is to reach the walls and kill enemy artillery / Special units to make towers reach the walls.
2. Breach Phase:
   • After towers land, swarm the walls with fast units, bring special units for blob fights or heavy range DPS (Silla T5)
   • Break the breach between B and C (Gate House)
   • Option 1) You climb the walls on B and go for D Supply
     Option 2) You fight trough the breach and go C or D
     Option 3) You play a mix and sneak on D cap
3. Final Push:
   • Use shield units to anchor the frontline, use heavy range to focus the enemy deff boxes and wipe out their specials
   • Bring in push units, use the trebs for main stairs (enemy spawn)
   • Use your cav from the side, endcap is a free field no obstacles 

Defender Strategy:

1. Wall Defense:
   • Use long-range artillery and jump down near towers to delay siege towers.
   • Set up fast infantry with burst potential to kill enemy heroes reaching the top before they can wipe artillerly and special units
   • Kick ladder is the best way to keep walls safe, take care once the enemy reaches the ladder top he can treb your units
2. Gate Defense:
   • Fortify one gate with shields and artillery—bait attackers to overcommit.
   • Use murder holes and deathboxes to suppress attackers at choke points.
   • Be ready to fall back before full wipe.
3. Courtyard Defense:
   • Set up kill zones with range and flames at gate entrance combined with shields and anti cav
   • Use your supply points to quickly change to stationary / fast units whatever is in need at that point
   • Rotate to supply point if it’s taken—don’t allow free rein behind your lines.

Common Mistakes:

• Attackers overcommitting to one breach and getting flanked.
• Defenders staying too long on walls and getting wiped (after B point is clearly taken) + DONT STAY ON A, YOU DONT DEFEND A!!!!!!
• Ignoring side ladders which allow dangerous backcaps.

Recommended Units:

• Attack: Heavy infantry, Cav for C/D and range for Breach / Endcap phase
• Defense: Shenji Grenadiers (walls), burst units, fast infantry, cavalary for long path charges, range for C and Endcap

Tips:

• Attackers should rotate pressure between gates and walls to exhaust defenders.
• Defenders must conserve units for the final hold—don’t lose your best early.
• Use voice comms or pings to coordinate flanks and reinforce chokepoints.
