The infinite unit spam. You're not fighting the Visigoths, you're fighting *SKYNET.* It makes me feel good to see the high-level players struggle as much as I do, a little less than I did obviously because they beat the mission in under an hour.
Not really feeling the Berbers yet, two levels into their campaign. Stable units are pretty crappy in Castle Age so maybe they get better in later missions. Not a fan of having to rely on range cavalry as your primary source of offense either. Being a slow player, I took on Merida and their four castles last thanks to Cordoba's supply of trebs. I think I had 6-7 of them so it was a cakewalk. The placement of the castles won't prevent you from trebbing out the Wonder site first.
I did Bari 4&5 on hard. I did Le Loi, well.. EVERYTHING on hard. Well, this 2nd mission of a "1 Sword campaign" seems to be my endgame. Really don't know how to make it. I just "finished" my 5th attempt and still get overrunned everytime... I am frustrated as hell
I did it by building many many castles filled with archers and walls around my base : then you don't die. The first reinforcement is used to kill blue in the south. When you have some trebs left you destroy red's wonder (but don't try to kill them, they are too strong). Then you leave red alone and kill the two others (west and then north) when they start building a wonder. Build castles in front of their walls to help.
There's a few things if you're struggling. Ideally you should end the attack on Toledo with as many archer cavalry left as possible, but everything else in your starting army is expendable. Before your reinforcements come, just focus on expanding your economy. Build new gates in Toledo and just boom as hard as you can. Store your units in your castle between attacks to heal them up. Never stop making villagers. The easiest way to counter their infinite infantry spam is castles and walls rather than trying to trade. They don't make trebuchets, so as long as you keep a few light cav around to snipe rams, your defenses are more or less impenetrable. The wonders are really not a concern. They bulid so slow and you can snipe them with trebuchets if needed. Your army should be mostly camel archers with light cav as screen, and I recommend attacking blue as soon as you get your reinforcements just to reduce the number of side you're getting attacked from. I can drop my recorded footage of this one if you want to see someone who's less good than ornlu do it, but it took me just under 2 in-game hours so it's a huge ass rec.
Holy Moly that mision was fun. Im a new player to the game and im triyng to complete everything on hard. That mision was preaty hard but fun at the same time. The thing i did was liberate Toledo and after that just bloom to 120 viligers. Whyle i was blooming i was atacking cian with rams. Then i started atacking purple and as i was atacking him the trebs started incoming. After i took down purple i destroyed blue. The hardest part is to take the first 2 oponents and its good to take cian as fast as posible so you dont get outflanked on every direction. Overal this mision was fun and i am suprised by myself that i did it in 1 try. It was looking hard.
Lost the first couple of times due to gold running out. But setting up the 2 relics + trading carts made this so much easier. Also light calvery is very underrated here as a spamable unit.
I am new to the game and picked this campaign after finishing the scottish tutorial campaign and I find it hard to beat. The other factions just always through troops at me and I can always only hold out so long. Do you have to abandon the city in the middle to succeed?
Personally, I googled which campaigns are the easiest and/or most fun and did those first. Perhaps Tariq isn't very difficult as a 1 sword campaign, but nobody ever has suggested African Kingdom campaigns as being the most fun or best or whatever - and given that there are in total like almost 140 campaign scenarios, I wouldn't touch it before finishing a bunch of others. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Your pronunciation wasn’t bad, hell the game’s isn’t any better. ‘Córdoba’ and ‘Mérida’ are “esdrújulas”, words accentuated in the antepenultimate syllable
I don't understand anything... by the 25th minute I'm already being besieged from all sides by 4 armies. And in plain sight 2 enemies are doing nothing. Why?! Upd: ok I did it!
Lol, i feel like infinite unit spam is kinda lame and lazy as far as a creator because its usually more annoying than fun to battle but this scenario was fun. I beat it on hard much like ornlu, if you can do all of these things im about to mention at the same time, makes this pretty easy. After you take toledo, begin booming, also immediately build 2 monks, there are 3 relics you can get, 1 right outside your base, 1 in northeast corner n the other in southeast corner, and lastly, strategically block all paths to your base except the western way that leads to purple, then all the enemies that attack you will come from that west side of your base, not once did any of the enemies attack any walls or gates, theyd kinda flounder around and then go alllllll the way to the western entrance, ive noticed that with the AI like 95% of the time they will choose to send units through the opening in your walls, regardless of how much further or harder it is, even if it makes more sense to attack the wall or gate, they normally will go for the opening wherever it is, but when you close off ALL possible entry points thats when they become unpredictable in where they will choose to attack. So the entire game they only came at me from the west side where you start with a castle. Honestly i just hung on until musa arrived with his 3 trebs, the fire towers plus unit spam just melts your weeny capped rams, i mean its doable but once you get trebs its a cake walk, also dont forget to send a unit to northeast orange market where you get the option to get chemistry for 500gold. You get a treb every 10 minutes after that from orange, i was able to win before red was even halfway through his wonder.
The dumbest and laziest campaign design I've seen in the game so far. Infinite resource for the AI and their spam take out any kind of fun or intelligence out of the gameplay.
I only had no idea ahout walls where to put when each enemy gona atack i block all bridges and its funny how ai ignore is and looks for other way i defeat first blue red and purple its not hard to defeat red even tough he has 4 castles you just use trebuchets amd snipe them
i spent too much time to build castles for defender ... and when I defeat blue , red, purple began build the wonder ... not enough time for me ... lol :))
FUCK this scenario. IDK if its different on Definitive Edition(I play on HD) but on the very far left corner island where the relic sits there's a single Visigoth Garrison camel, and they won't surrender until every last one of their soldiers is destroyed.... you can probably guess where this went. . .
The infinite unit spam.
You're not fighting the Visigoths, you're fighting *SKYNET.*

I went for Merdia.. it took me as much time as all other cities combined
It took like 100 rams to take out the wonder in Merida
Funny thing about wonders! I think they have like a bazilion melee armor but relatively low hp count just archer them down!
Traveller's tell tales of a gold laden island to the far west, maybe you can find a ship to take you there.....
Really miss the old Spanish architecture
“Yeah, go back to Mexico” 😂
Eff this effing mission for real

Cool, but why do you type like you are afraid of repeating characters?
Dios sos muy genio, esta misión me está llevando HORAS.
if you destroy all their houses can they still produce units?
I don't think they will.

How do you gain ressources so quickly?
I always prefer going for Mr.Teal first
Just did it and i prefer it too

I hate this mission
Yeah and that running to destroy the wonders is so annoying
Me too. haven't been able to win in hard
@@ProsperityEngine Didn't even make it on middle...
@@michaelm.4618 sorry for you. I made in in middle
