Paladins of the West Kingdom Strategy: Workers & Attributes
Editorial analysis: A Paladin is strongest when both its workers and attribute bonuses support the same round plan.
Choose the round before choosing the Paladin
Identify two or three actions you want, then select the Paladin whose temporary attributes and workers make that sequence cheapest.
Raise attributes with a purpose
Faith, Strength and Influence should unlock specific actions or scoring rather than rise evenly by default.
Use flexible workers on bottlenecks
Save wild/flexible workers for colors that would otherwise stop a high-value action chain.
Manage suspicion before it becomes debt
Short-term tax rewards can help, but repeated penalties can erase the gain if left unmanaged.
Orders should overlap
Prioritize King’s Orders that reward development you already intend to pursue.
Late game: finish attributes and objectives
Stop building infrastructure with no remaining action payoff and convert workers into final track and objective value.
