Knights:

The Knights job is to defend their castle from the attacking Pirates and Vikings. The attackers target is the alter inside the church. The church is inside the castle courtyard. There are only two ways for the attackers to get to the courtyard, the main doors, and the beachwall. Since the attackers outnumber the defenders two to one the Knights usualy get over run rather quickly. The key choke points to defend is the inner gate house, which controles the two doors that lead to the courthouse. In order to help the knights defend the bace knights get arow slits and pots of oil. The pots of oil that are on top of the gate houses, and when used they will kill (or hevly damage) anyone below. And the beach wall, since it leads to the courtyard. It is also a good idea to always keep a person in the courtyard. That way they can fire the two catapults that bomb the beach and forest. Also, should a lone pirate make it through the beach walls the teammate can warn the other knights. In each of the three towers you can find barrels of arrows and bolts on the first floor, and on the second floor is a table with armor and food.

Vikings:

The Vikings need to destroy the alter inside the church that lies in the castle courtyard. The area which you respawn can not be reached by other teams, so unless a knight is shooting into the spawn from the forest wall you have all the time you need to get full ammo and armor. Once you leap over the logs you will be standing before the forest wall. Since knights have better ranged weapons then vikings you should make your way quickly to your right where there is a battering ram and catapult. Firing the catapult will kill any knights standing on the inner courtyard. In order to break the first wooden door you will need to use the battering ram. It takes three swings to break the door, and in order to make the ram move you will need to run back and forth while pressing the "use" key. The more vikings using the ram the more likly it will move. To get the second metal door to open you will need to "use" the lever that is on the top of the gate house you are in. The next two metal doors are harder to open. The first of the door are opend by a switch that is on the top of the inner gate house. To get the second door to open you will need to work with a teammate. In the lower half of the gatehouse is two chains. It is best not to wait at these chains, because when you go near one of them a message will alert knights to your location. Once all door are open you will have a direct path to the courtyard.

Pirates:

Like the Vikings the Pirates need to destroy the alter inside the church that lies in the castle courtyard. The only way off the beach is to destry the rock that blockes your way into the castle. Since the rock takes less damage from ranged attacks it is best to have the snipers stay on the boat and uses their rifles and the boat cannon to cover the other pirates while they break the rock with their cutlasses. Once the rock is destried you can go through the door (or hole in the wall) to get inside the middle tower. From the top floor of the upper tower you can get to the forest wall and the beach wall. From the beach wall you can get to the beach corner tower. From the tower you can get to the inner beach wall, and stop the the bowmen from killing your teammates on the boat. The door at the end of the hallway is locked to everyone but knights, so don't try opening it. Instead go down the stair way to the left of the door. At the bottem of the stairway is the courtyard.
