I knew assassins had high dps, but I didn't expect them to win head-on against a big army of knights, that's crazy.
It's because units can stack while fighting, and have no cooldown after kiiling a unit, this makes DPS more effective than HP
assassins and knights actually have the same base damage, knights just have 1/3 more base health
the exact numbers are 15k hp and 80dpt for assassins, 20k hp and 80dpt for knights (dpt = damage per tick, multiply that by game speed to get dps)
now since the nizars use +5 fear factor and jeff used -5 fear factor or so which each change the damage by +/-25%, that would mean there are 15k hp 100dpt assassins fighting 20k hp 60dpt knights, meaning that each of those assassins can kill roughly 1.3 knights (ignoring unit stacking and other smaller factors)... which is pretty insane given that an assassin costs 60g while a knight costs 100g (weapon sell cost + recruitment), on top of a 100g + 5 wood initial sunk cost investment for each knight in form of the stables
they stack too well. U need to lure them chasing and charge from the side.
@@zeflute4586 pick them off from behind so only your units stack, swiftly one by one.
Here, a small donation to keep you motivated and strengthen your devotion to the Sun. For only truly believing in the Sun will grant you success in this challenge. May the great Sun forgive you your sin at the begining of the video. The Sun is a wondrous body. Like a magnificent father!
If only I could be so grossly incandescent!
… have a pizza or something. Once you are done with this one, I still have even more difficult challenge up my sleeve. And next time, feed the starving horses by sending them bread. Remember, you can also use traps to your advantage. Or maybe some of your allies could dig moat arround your castle…
Praise the Sun \[T]/ ☀️
Man you're officially our channel's new sponsor.. thanks!
You two are making my days brighter every time. Such jolly cooperation. Praise the sun
do not praise sun wtf

14:45 Your ever faithful cousin just casually closed the bridge which was your only way out haha
2:23 *W O O D N E E D E D*

All I'm saying is I would pay good money for some "CaNt PlAcE tHaT tHeRe M'lOrD" merch.
Me: slows down AI * thank you .I like the AI description of the challenges
When fighting slaves: CUT THEM DOWN
When fighting assassins: I SEE NO ROUTE
Sunbro is a fucking legend like he is in dark souls. Respect bro o7

My advice: build a neatly organized castle with multiple layers, this will slow down assassins (climbing) and let you know early when they are invading because of the voice message.
The ultimate Stronghold Crusader challenge: a normal game against some strong ai lords, but if the scribe says "not enough wood my lord" or "can't place that there my lord" you auto lose.
EVIL xD
Advisor: Wood needed
Lord: Commits seppuku
god the placement of buildings ... :D
Hey Jeff, a question?
Does it please you vvhatching your castle fall about you?
No :(
CAN'T PLACE THAT THERE, MY LORD!!!
What if you were to make 1 chokepoint, make a wall maze, make every woodcutter go through that thus giving you some extra firepower ( but could be where it is a worse case scenario where it just stacks up units.) in your meat grinder video you did a meatgrinder basicly.
Stack units onto 1 block and use that to your advantage with knights. You can utilize killing pits, add dogs or kinda forgot if there is anything more.
Now for more cheese you can spam ' Defend me' or aid me or whatever that is in the game. There are certain times when ai with that command will keep sending you units without cd. See why it is good? Unlimited units, you stack their units up then order them to attack. You also get archers this way. Additionally you can spam woodcutters to block the enemy for a bit. Nobody said you have to play fair.
a wall maze doesn't really work with assassins. Yeah walls would slow them down but they would still be spread out. On another note, I think the bread challenge is just too crazy and doesn't really add any excitement to the challenge.
@@R_5_D It does work. As long as you have an open path they won't climb. You can place gates and while they are climbing up the allies's archers can shoot them down.
Wolf's (slow) cousin challenge
Share a castle with wolf
Against one rat
Your goal is to get you both killed by rat
Sabotage is the name of the game
lmfao, that sounds fun!
"Among us" would be a more suitable title xD
The Trident from Game Of Thrones all this time and we had no idea. I'm stunned you didn't know that assassins anhilliate Knights
I remember playing this map all the time when i was little.
Absolute classic..
loved north vs south too back then but don’t like it that much now
You can try to position yourself between Philips so their archers can handle the assassins while your knighs are scouting for them.
I've started regularly using knights as they're really handy for quick response, anti-siege weapon defense, and a first charge against an AI for a mangonel tower for example.
Great stuff! I know that you will figure this one out! Looking forward to the next episode of this challange in which you will win.
Well it was nice try. Wish you luck next time and can't wait to see that. Btw I have a few suggestions:
1)From my expirience there are just two good counters to assasins: ranged units and moats. In this chalange you have no ranged units, however moats 'are kind of traps' (big hole with spikes vs big hole with water? Both are traps to me). But how to dig moats with just knights? Just ask you big cousins for help! If I'm not wrong ally AI often helps with diging the moat and thaks to that you can cut off that anoying entrance and force enemy AI to marche throught both Filips so that could help. Of course slaves can dig it, but I think that AI could just go with diffrenet pathfinding. Plus you can always buid walls/towers and moats just behind them -> slaves aren't able to destroy walls and assasins aren't able to score 10/10 on water jumping competitions so it's win-win-block-this-$*#&@)-situation
2)I've seen that you avoided stone prodution which could help with economy in your next run. You won't need stone for yourself... however 70gp/5 is still 70gp
3)I can be wrong, but there IS an option to get yourself some archers in your keep WITHOUT breaking the chalange. I could have missed that and you could have tried that, but if not... why won;t you ask your big and strong cousins for some defences? They should send you some troops and keep them in your keep -> most likely archers
Good luck!
If that river crossing to the North-West is within castle building limits then I would double stack walls and double crenulations. I think this stops assassins(??) so they would be forced to walk the long way past both cousins meaning you only need top defend them and not yourself!
Sandal Maker has such a good drop!
this was sadistic
No archers against assassins is just painful to watch
you arent escaping this challenge :), beat emir with only engineer with oil pot as your ONLY unit both deffensive and offensive
(you can use portable shields and 1 assasin for gates, any trickes allowed, also you can change emir to someone else only when you litterally have no other option, and change it to lord that is rarely in your vids cus wolf/rat are too common)
Oil Engineers don't fight so it's impossible to beat Lord.
WTF
@@ffffee3636 from what I reamember lord can burn to death but its very resistant so if you somehow managed to make lord go out of keep then you can, for going near castle just use portable shields and for gates assasin, so it is possible, just very very very hard
Worst part is defence, but using walls can make a little easier
Edit: i did some testing and lord can be burnt to death, and its even easier than i though, it took 20 pots to take him down, worst part is how to make lord go out of his keep, in wiki it tells sometimes lord will try to defend small armies by himself so then it will leave keep but i dont know how to replicate this consistently
The commentary was awesome xD Although you failed but I enjoyed the video
There are 3 main reasons your knights lost against assassins:
1- fear factor (yours negative and Nizar's postive)
2- knights are not good against assassins in open ground as stacking become less relevant while DPS and quantity of units become more relevant
3- Nizar's assassin were stacked when you attempted to attack them while your knights were not
In online game with 10 minutes no rush, no one uses knights for being most expensive and having lower DPS compared to other units, but as the game progresses, it becomes the most used unit along with shield and horse archer.
Yeah if you ignore economy they become the best units, otherwise they would lose every fight in terms of efficiency!
The main point of making knights is to have a fast unit roaming around the map doing things other units can't do!
Assassins have a double damage bonus vs knights just fyi
@@hansomekim1219 no they don't, where did you get that from? they just deal their base damage to everything like most units, there's only macemen which get a 66% damage reduction and arabian swordsmen which get a 50% damage reduction to european swordsmen and knights specifically
😢14.20 one of ure knight becoming ghost to watch u for what u've done.
Perhaps focus more on traps? Caged dogs should be useful in sniffing out the assassins, though I seem to recall them nerfing them in the HD version. Been playing the game for over twenty years and I like to roleplay as an actual lord of the time, with a proper castle and such, so I dabbled with all the units as well as the traps.
Another thing to note about Good Things (good fear factor) is that the ai already cheats by building them inside moats (looking at you Saladin) so the workers don't waste time going there before they idle. I say you can do the same since the ai does it, but if you don't want to, then I suggest using the smallest garden instead of the dancing bear as its cheaper and doesn't take as much space: You get the bonus by the amount of Fear Factor you have, not the quality. Don't forget to spread them out strategically around your castle so your workers don't have to travel far to idle at
Day (sooo long) of asking please please 1v1 commander by Xander10 alpha (he has 40k gold)
No way if you do this
NOT ENOUGHT WOOD MILORD
Man, great video. I suggest that you should narrate your actions over main gameplay. Would be much more engaging to watch
Challange : Imagine You're Saladin Ayubi And You Want To Destroy The Crusades But They Have 40000 and you only have 3000 gold You're Enemy's Are Richard , King Philip , Wolf And You're Only Ally Is Omar And You Can Only Use Arabic Soilders That Are (Arabic Swordmen,Arabian Archer,fire throwers) You Can Only Build Bread Food And Until The Bread Production Has not Riched 15 Bakery's You Cant Product From the Bread Production Buildings So You Have To Beg For Food From Emir Or Give The People Gold Cause You're Not Allowed To Buy From Markets You Also Are Only Allowed To Build Fire Ballistas As Siege Units And You Must Have All The Units Equally When Attacking Enemy Crusades Like If You Have 25 Swordmen Ready To Battle King Phillip You Must Also Have 25 Arabian Archer And 25 Fire throwers You Can Must Also Build Walls And Make It "The Keep Is Enclosed" And You Are Only Allowed To Put The 10 Stone
Towers. Good Luck If You're Trying This Challange Cause I Didnt Even Wathc The Whole Video Before Commenting On This Video
But Why Are You Writing Every First Letter Of A Word With A Capital?
@@wirti94 I Dont Know Dude Why Are You Writing Every First Letter Of A Word With A Capital Letter ?
Hell yeah sandal maker
Knights so bad holy, the worst "elite" Unit in the game
Usually that's how "expensive" units work in strategy games, they're really nice to use (Harassment, picking units etc) but in terms of raw strength they always lose to cheap units!
bro is using Technicals (Toyota horses) in 1400s
I would have liked to hear the robot voice read it, I can always skip if I want :)
Also very nice try tho
Stronghold crusader but the player thinks the most expensive units are the best.
Negative fear factor on top
@@johnwheel2591 He must have been frustrated to do that haha
Alot of stone was there to be cashed... That could have helped you in financing many knights...
How do you create multiple armour units in with single click and dragging?
I don't, I have an auto clicker to make things easier for me!
But I'm recruiting them one by one
Can't place that there mlord!
yes fast
a chalanghe can you beat 3 folfes and 3 emir es the abbot and only monks
please use the tts in the game too
Will do on the next part of this video!
Is it not smart to put your knights to aggressive stance/mode?
Dude I really really really love your content
Pls reply and say something to me
( It mean really lot to me man)
Awful seeing the placement of your buildings not in nice lines or near the stockpile lol
I don't really see how you can win this one
this guy doesnt even type out his subtitles,youtubs is dead for me,everybody uses auto subtitles and take jobs from people why type them
So you want some hard mission huh ? Ok beat pig and he has 40000 gold with only arabic swordmen good luck
That doesn't sound that really hard 😀
@@wirti94 oh okay can you do this challenge then make a video of this
And do it right now whatever "that dont soind so hard "
You play this game so much and you don't know how to control these units, instead of letting the knights unite you send them to certain death
Nice try :D
