This shit is tough as hell. I've now tried it 5-6 times, I get to the final wave but then they're wayy too many enemies with not enough counter units. Needed larger reinforcements at the very least.
I played in intermediate difficulty. The trick is to lure the cavalry and heavy units like teutonic knoghts with horse archers before they arrange themselves in formation. Once in formation it becomes a nightmare to win this scenario.
I'm unfortunately not the best at this game and this mission has been very difficult, same with mission 2 w/ the reinforcement waves. This DLC seems to really want to focus on micro-control of units and not as much the full game flow.
@@1playthroughs that’s unfortunate, I’m going to give mission 4 another go but it doesn’t look hopeful and knowing mission 5 will be more of it isn’t promising. Mission 1 & 3 were fun for the exact opposite reason.
I've been playing the campaigns on Intermediate, and up until this one every other mission on both base game/Sultans Ascend has been winnable after a few tries at most... but on this one I'm just stuck. 😭 No matter how I try to micro there's just too many baddies lol 🥴
Yeah they are cracked if they think this shit is winnable. Nowhere near enough units to beat this. Especially since every wave of reinforcements does not give enough counter units to the next enemy wave. Shit is impossible.
I am here because I can't beat this after 10 attempts, seems impossible enough on the level i am on, idk how it could be beaten on the hardest difficulty
did you tried the mission in intermediate? I think its too hard in intermediate.... i tried it 4 times now, and have now chance on it.... im a experienced player and playing dia 1 in multiplayer in aoe4
after about 15 tries on intermediate i finally finished it. it takes a lot of micromanging units. the franks rush is incredibly finicky. if you don't have your melee exactly positioned to cut off the cavalry rush, the cavalry will go right past and wipe your archers or go straight to the villagers. should be a relatively simple fix from the devs, either add a few more units per reinforcement drop to counteract or provide a tower or two that your archers can garrison.
i have watched this gameplay and tried something similar in the level middle- hard but failed 4 times now . And i have played a lot this game. i have managed to make it until his last attack but always fall short of men. I mean, his f.... arches are so annoying becouse has lots of them!. They make the difference
i reached 3rd wave on easy level with all the strategies....but this is simply so 1 sided.....enemy comes wid machine guns nd we have wooden sticks...tht kind of scenario
Easy to intermediate is too different. I feel like we're playing with most weak civ of all, enemies are too stronge, like 5x1 can beat us lol hate those cristians knights
I played the whole campaign on intermediate with absolute ease and had to set this ish down to story to be able to complete... Like what the actual fk is this mission... I'm no newbie to the game either, I played a ton of AOE2 and yea even 3 lol. On 2 I could take on several of the highest level ai's in a skrim match by myself all day. Hell I even employed the choke points on the vili camp areas and utilized monks which I haven't seen anyone else really do. Still no luck even on easy. They def fkd up on this one. I'd love to see someone actually win this on hard. Imposible.

Exactly, the micro-control is the DLC's gimmick, like in the 5th mission (as the guys told me - it's like an Assassin's Creed simulator)...

@church9828 yes, it seems true
I can't even beat this mission on easy...I think they need a fix here. The balancing is wayy off on this one.
Yeah, they need to fix the balance. I also lowered the difficulty after every five attempts...
I couldn’t finish on easy either so you’re not alone
They do have healers by the town hall as well
I can’t do it on easy either lol
What is the difficulty level used on this one? Other don't have fire arrows
Story Mode...
How do you have flaming arrows... mine does not start out with them
I lowered the difficulty to Story Mode
@@1playthroughs Kewl beans.. I lowered it to that to beat the missions before your response .. and I was like "Aahaa

yep, I had many attempts...
I WAS ABLE TO FINISH THE MISSION.
Clearly this mission is bugged, so to finish it simply change its difficult to Story Mode
I also lowered the difficulty to Story Mode
I am here because I can't beat this after 10 attempts, seems impossible enough on the level i am on, idk how it could be beaten on the hardest difficulty
yeah it's not real
took it down 1 level and beat it first try, couldnt beat it before that though, and my arrows never shoot fire so idk how you did that
Is there a 0 level there?🙄
You get the fire arrows if you turn it down to "story" mode.
How come all the arrow/archer units shoot fire in this video even crossbow men and foot archers?..
due to the minimum difficulty level
did you tried the mission in intermediate? I think its too hard in intermediate.... i tried it 4 times now, and have now chance on it.... im a experienced player and playing dia 1 in multiplayer in aoe4
Yeah, I also reckon that the intermediate level is a bit too tough, but I wouldn't consider myself a seasoned player...
I'm in the same boat, but I'm not as high ranked. Still, wouldn't consider myself a slouch. I get absolutely destroyed by the Frank wave.
@Kongmingtwo Many talk about balance; could that be the issue, or is it all about skilled micro-control of the units?

@danbruckelmeyer6017 AWSOME) but I couldn't force myself to do it after 5 tries...
I put it on story mode....finally won
👍
how is it that your horsemen are advancing with flaming arrows?
my dudes just have regular ass arrows
Same what the heck
@IKHCorp Buddy, after constantly lowering the difficulty, I got some fiery arrows...
@danbruckelmeyer6017 I lowered the difficulty after every five attempts... Only the fiery arrows did the trick...
@andrewnibarger7045 I'm no pro, but in my opinion, they need to fix the balance...
how are you shooting fire arrows... mine isn't doing that.
I gradually lowered the level and at some point they started shooting fire arrows...
You get the fire arrows if you turn it down to "story" mode.
How do you even have fire arrows?
I gradually lowered the difficulty level down to 'story mode'

Perhaps this is the weakest civ?
i hope someone does this mission with the highest difficulty 😂
maybe one of the developers?🤣

Yeah, that mission is notorious for being tough. It's like they cranked up the difficulty to 100500. Don't worry, you're not alone in your struggle!😉
