Border cities M&M: Heroes VI Guide

On the periphery of our empire, in some time will be a cities with very changeable status - sieged, converted, lost and regained Those ones we should treat with special care - they'll be our first defend line and also fortificated war bases.

Border cities we can divide on to two categories: those, we gonna lose immediately and those we have a chance to keep. In first case, when we see arriving hordes of enemies, and we have little army, we should run away - but first convert a city; it's not very expensive, but it slows enemy's development in this city for a turn.

Defence is very important on the borderlands

If we'd like to keep a city, we have to take a look to its infrastructure - if it have few recruiting buildings, we should convert it ASAP (look at chapter: Converting). If an enemy is close and a city is weak, we should think about city walls (in the worst case - about retreating).

But if our castle isn't in danger for a while, we should build dwellings (like in internal cities) and portal - in that way we'll regain loses rapidly and safe the front.
