I'd like to mention 2 points. 1) Your archers dont shoot to enemy slingers, eventough they are being shot at by them, simply because the game ai do not prioritize them for some reason and shoot the other enemy troops. You might want to make your own slingers to counter them, at least a few of them. They are almost free, and they occasonally shoot for enemy workers too, which is a fine bonus. 2) It's a useful method to delete the stairs to the towers after you move your troops on them. The enemy meele troops will simply ignore the towers if you do so, and go for your production buildings and the keep, which are prefereble.
Hey Jeff bit unrelated to the video so sorry about that but i wanted to thank you. I played Stronghold Crusader before as a kid but never finished entire trail , usually just 3-4 missions. About 2 months back i watched your ''The Big One'' video and finally decided to play entire trail , tho i did decide to finish stronghold 1 first which was also really fun. Yesterday i finally finished 80th mission which again was thanks to your earlier mentioned video. So Cheers mate thanks to you i finished a trail which be said to have started almost 20 years back.
This mission would truly be a nightmare if it was you with 3000 gold against lords with 40000 gold, otherwise, otherwise, you're able to easily kill the 3 lords surrounding you quickly enough before the other 3 have time to get their castles and economy finished.
This is a map that's almost made for Slingers. Using slingers as shock troops to take down Snake and Sultan is almost too easy. Just don't sit back and try to use them as ranged units, Slingers are as fast as Arabic Slaves and pack a moderate punch in melee. They can be poor man's Monks in the right situation.
More archers or even crossbows, to counter armoured units, on towers. Richard's strength is his fast build order, which allows for early attacks, not his defense
You can also RUSH the Snake, Rat and Sultan if that's your thing, use assassins, and when you deal with them just focus on the economy. Much quicker way of beating this mission, but then again, RUSH.
man, come on. I play this game for 20 years ( I'm 29 now) and you are showing me that inital stockpile can be destroyed and build anywhere on a map? COME ON
I love that you also included details like 1 inn for 30 pop, that really keeps the info fresh in our minds. Also taht you pointed to your video on how to overcrowd towers is also a great idea. Great video!

Jeff, in your AI ranking you said that you think Richard is underpowered. I’m interested to see how would you buff him?
Good video btw as always 👍🏻
I think increasing the defending archers would be a good start, since he's already good at attacking and his only weakness is his defense!
Maybe Richard should have a castle design with better defenses?
More archers or even crossbows, to counter armoured units, on towers. Richard's strength is his fast build order, which allows for early attacks, not his defense
You can also RUSH the Snake, Rat and Sultan if that's your thing, use assassins, and when you deal with them just focus on the economy. Much quicker way of beating this mission, but then again, RUSH.
This is actually a Nightmare if someone doesnt rush Snake or doesn't put a defense up early on. Hahaha nice in the end 😀 Like reading Bible lol xD

Kill snake, rat and sultan with assassins in the beginning and then it becomes easy
IN THE NAME OF HIS GLORYYYYYYY
Jeff, could u post download link which have all maps and lords extreme or normal if u have both put it ty u ❤️
I bought the game from steam, it includes both versions!
It's only 1$ when on sale
I think they intended this mission to be a lot harder than it actually is
It was quite easy compared the other hard ones. Like you said the first minutes are the hardest
This is mostly easy because AI has 2K gold, if they had 8K it would be an actual nightmare
At this mission you can just rush first 3 lords arround you with assassins and then just mine iron and wood and you can ez win.
When in doubt, do assassin rush
What speed do you usually play on? I'm impressed how fast you have it in the start. Good vid. 🙂

Three Saladins where?
Golden quote today: I hate this youtuber.
This mission one of the easiest place 3 tower for controll archers and just abuse iron mines
Jeff can you do multiplayer content of SC2?
I laughed at the: ,,Boom.'' (1:52) :)))))))))))
Bravely done, you fight like a man... DEUS VULT!
For me , only secure that iron ,built wall + tower around it, thats enough
I killed Snake early on, then rushed on Sultan, then it was easy
Sabaton!

Ughh 2 pigs and 3 Richards wave after wave truly mothers of all war.
Its not that bad, I beat it in 20-30min
