Lon Lon Ranch (Conquest)

Lon Lon Ranch is a Minor Faction available on Temperate Biomes. They appear on the Hyrule Field map.

Description
Owned by the wealthy and powerful House of Lontha, Lon Lon Ranch is known throughout all of Hyrule for its famous horses, crops, and especially their milk. The Lonthas have amassed enough finances over the centuries that they are able to keep the Hylian Royal Family at an arm's length and operate somewhat autonomously of the crown. The Royal Family sees no issue with this arrangement, seeing as the Lonthas provide the best horses in all of Hyrule to the Kingdom.

Gameplay
 Lon Lon Ranch can only be encountered on the 4-Player Map Hyrule Field, occupying the central Plateau. Lon Lon Ranch will not expand or produce new units, and will only act to defend itself from attempts to capture or explore its territory.

Lon Lon Ranch is a relatively well-fortified settlement atop a naturally-defensive plateau, guarded by Hylian Wooden Walls and two capturable Grain Silos, one at the main gate to Lon Lon Ranch and the other situated at the southwestern corner of the Ranch. Two unique capturable buildings, Lon Lon Ranch and Lon Lon Barn, occupy the small pass form the entrance gate, while the center of the plateau is comprised of a large horse track and corral with harvestable Cuccos, Goats, Horses, and Lon Lon Cows milling about. In the northeastern corner of the Ranch is a hill with a small grove of harvestable wood as well as a number of Rabbits. Lon Lon Ranch is guarded by a large number of Ranch Hands, Ranch Riders, and Ranch Watches, as well as Malon herself. If a player chooses to capture Lon Lon Ranch, they must all first be defeated.

Once Lon Lon Ranch is defeated, its unique units can be produced and techs can be researched from captured structures. If the structures are destroyed, they cannot be rebuilt, thus caution must be taken to ensure their unique structures are captured and not destroyed.

Trivia

 * The Wooden Walls surrounding Lon Lon Ranch cannot be captured, and will revert to "Gaia" control and being attacked by the conqueror faction's units if Lon Lon Ranch is defeated.
 * If you play as Lon Lon Ranch by swapping player to them on match settings, then the Lon Lon Cow tech won't serve any purpose, as the faction doesn't have any market building, and without the means to upgread to Town Phase, Malon's Horse Training tech is not researchable.
