    I would have never managed to finish this mission without you, basically I copied placement of your towers and that pretty much did the trick.
    Thank you my lord :D

      I managed to beat this level by leaving my keep alone and moving my entire base to the north side of the map. I used lots of round towers and ballistas to counter Richard's troops only to find out that he wont attack again if I trap my king inside a stone wall. It was hilarious!

    I've tried this 10 times before coming here, I found that replacing my stockpile closer to the iron and quarries to the north helps a lot with resource production. The only issue is defending the keep from the hordes that eventually come lol

    Stronghold is an economy game. You always need to think about how you're going to make a relatively high steady income and protect the buildings that sustain it. Building must be very quick. First thing I do on this level is put the granary at the bottom of the hill on the right and keep the grass clear. I put the armoury in the area between the hills, build 2 of them. Then I put the market up on the hill on the right with 6 houses around it. My barracks and engineers guild go way back on the left hill. I get plenty of archers out and about 16 engineers. I then dig a moat all the way around from the bottom of the left hill, behind the keep and stockpile nearly to the very right edge of the screen. I build a tower that can hold a ballista just behind to the right of the tree near the keep, I then continue the moat in a maze from the right of the screen to near the tree, then from the tree back to right of the screen, leaving a gap to walk, You should end up with 4 lines of moat zig zagging to the tree in front of your tower back to the right of the screen. While I'm digging the moat I build dairy farms and tanner armourers. Your economy will be cheese and leather armour. The tanners do not need to get to the stockpile to build leather armour. You should also get your tower manned as quickly as possible and lay pitch traps along the zig zagging moat. Early in the game you move your king to safety on the right rear hill near your market. Build another ballista tower on the rear left hill, and leave space to the left of it, your left, to build two taller archer towers. Use the engineers who dug the moat to build ballista's and place about 6 by your bottom tower and as many as you can by the rear tower on the hill. When the enemy comes they'll have to walk the maze and pass your lower tower 3 times. You can pick them off with your archers in the lower tower, or if there's a huge hoard, set fire to your pitch traps and nothing will get through. Meanwhile your dairy farmers will fill the granary quickly and the tanners are out of harm's way between the granary and armoury on the gap between the hills. I've been playing stronghold for years and that plan works perfectly, if you get it done quickly and right. With the moat dug like a maze it offers you the opportunity to produce new archers and engineers. They are your key defence in this level. When the enemy aren't attacking so heavily you will get your own troops, or replacement workers who've been killed, through the maze relatively safely. You'll lose a few engineers and archers, but the more you make the more that will get through.

    i usually take some horse archers, 200 or maybe 250 are enogh, then i march them to clean the enemy's castle... just running around and shooting arrows, when the enemy loses all they army and crash his economy, i sand some assassins, between 50 and 80 assassins (they're stronger than mace man) are enogh to kill the lord... they can move upon the walls, this is a great point, because you'll not need catapults or something like it... i do it at each one level on this game :)

  • @andrewsharpe7630
    @andrewsharpe7630 Год назад

    Now this was a good mission! Challenging but fair; makes the most of the AI only sending small harassment squads and siege forces as it's tough to even repel those early on. Archers are necessary to quickly dispatch slaves, otherwise crossbowmen are the way to go.
    Took me several restarts to make it work. I tried Jeffelonious' strat of building a wall of square castles attached to my keep but failed. Went with two separate groupings of round towers, one at the base of the keep's fireplace to ward off the Caliphs and another northwest of my keep to keep Richard at bay. Portable shields are a must. Ground-based fire ballista are not enough, only tower ballista can reach Richard and Caliphs' catapults before it's too late. Great map for a powerful economy. Eventually made a mangonel on one of the towers facing Caliph to wear down his castle before I went in. Oh, and moving stockpile north to the resources is good too.

    My first victory here was by relocating my base up the ramp and turtling there.. the enemy was murdering me with catapults and the blue one was a killer with his towers and archers. Later i learned to play better and could win "properly".
    The key is to micromanage your tower balistas and kill enemy catapults and trebuchets asap.
    The easiest way was to have a strong crossbow economy: sell crossbows and buy what you need.
    Also, massed horse archers are great for killing engines on towers

  • @1inchpine
    @1inchpine Год назад

    I just beat it! My strategy was to build a moat from cliff edge to cliff edge around the keep using 40 slaves, enclosing the keep. Then I put one tower on the top of the hill, one in front of the keep, and one to the left towards Richard. Filled the towers with shields, bowmen, crossbowmen, and ballista's to defend from catapults. All I had to do from there was balance my food production and sell stone (which was also within the moats circle). Use the gold from the stone to balance my economy so I could collect taxes. And bam! my army was stabilized. Then 300 horse archers later everyone got successfully Fucked!

  • @myC-kl3gt

    This Tactic worked best for me:
    Lionheart is very slow at the beginning, build a tower near your keep and put some crossbows and archers on it to defend ypurself i think 15 of each is enough. In the meantime you can easily rush him with maceman or whatever you like ... that puts you some money in the bank and hurrayyy you have a better start .. i was getting over 17 thousand =) and further your start parameters put you in that case somehow a little i think . you have lot of bread from the beginning and hopes too, so your pesants should be happy and you can focus on sieging =)

    This is not at normal speed. If you dig all around the village, it slows down the enemy. You need at least two tower ballista to stop enemy artillery. A fire ballista burnt all of my village so I changed my tactic. I will try it again via normal ways. I passed this mission by escaping to the hill with 300-400 slaves. While enemy is sleeping you can carry more slaves later. Dig entrance of the hill with slaves, certainly around from iron and stone mine. Then disband them all to make them crosbowmen and villagers or what you need. It is not easy as you think, you should check campfire when doing this. If they go to campfire instead of turning into villager or soldier, close the gate door to stop them, then make them soldier again. There should be no one in campfire otherwise enemy can easily kill them. Sell all goods, if you remove empty stockpiles you can reach to the hill. I didn't do in this game but if you put a woodcutter at the gate of the Lionheart, he literally dies. Just bulid new one when he demolish it. It works at others too but some guys quickly demolish it.

      nothing, except having more food types gives you bonus popularity bonus and each food source provides different playstyle, for example building apples is fastest way but profit will fall off as game goes on, where bread is terribly profitable early on - expensive to make, and requires a lot of wood for all the buildings but ramps up in later game and provides better food income than any of three other sources together

      Mohammad Fadhil caranya gimana? Pake swordman jalannya lambat bgt udah keburu musuh bikin benteng pertahanan

      Sounds impossible considering the cost of 20 swordmen and horses and the caliphes that will attack in like 5 minutes through the game...
