    The beggining of this video basically did it for me.
    After defeating grey and yellow I kinda went rogue, but managed to get it eventually.
    Probably not the easiest of ways I chose, but starting out with -2 opponents made this go from "Wtf this isn't possible" to "Omg this is hard, but I got it"
    Thank you man, Much love

      Key to getting this achievement is to know that the enemies start out weak, but snowball if left untouched. If you take out 2 enemies early, it becomes infinitely easier to clean up the rest. Especially since Genoese is no threat.

      yeah after templars and jerusalem are gone its easy cause geonese dont do anything and The Franks get melted by mameluks, with grey and yellow down its an easy clean up did the mission in 30 minutes by myself after i knew you can kill jerusalem just with some boats from the get go

    Your guide is the best available for this mission.
    I dont have such microing skills so I made forward castle (near shore, helped for both - Franks & Genoese and served as hospital as well) instead of selling stone and upgrading mamelukes.

    I pass this mision this way, first at the second the match starts I build a castle close to the blue franks, destroy them, next the light blue team, then go after yellow and red castles, then go after gray team until they surrender, then finish off yellow and red.
    You first want to do this with Mamelukes and Treabuchets, but later it is better to transition to Hussars and less Mamelukes to dont run out of gold

    I thought I had to win before the AI make wonders under unknown timer. So I tried so hard to battle them all and managed to get Jerusalem and The Hospitalers surrender pretty quick but those Longbowmen are so annoying. I was about to quit but then I re-read the achievement details, realized that it's before I make wonder. Then it should be easier which basically I have not time limit and I can prepare army better ahahahaha. I finally get it.

    They've definitely update the resign trigger for the civs. I just tried to kill the castle and towncenter for most of the base and they just kept moving to new spots over and over. took me forever until they crushed my own base. I got the achievement on standard, but im gonna have to go again for the Gold status.

    @evanrudibaugh8772 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That was surgical perfection.
    The templars are the worst - they just spam paladins, Teutonic knights and rams if you let them live, which is really difficult combination to counter when you're getting attacked from multiple ends.

  • @terrymeng6321
    @terrymeng6321 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    A pretty much perfect demonstration of how to strike at the enemies before they have a chance to fight back. I can see the key is to sell the 1000 stones to produce more units and to strike at the weakest points first, i.e. Jerusalem and Franks/Teutonic Knights.
    One point though: wouldn't it be worthwhile to produce a few more villagers at the start for 50 food each who could quickly earn more resources back?

    • @T-West
      @T-West  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Since I was trying to speedrun this scenario I prioritized getting my upgrades right away. I wouldn't have been able to afford Elite Mameluke so early if I had produced Vils.
      If playing normally then you'd probably want Vils though. Just this speedrun route felt better without spending the initial food on them. There's probably lots of room for optimization!

    • @terrymeng6321
      @terrymeng6321 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@T-West OK I understand it now thanks. I would probably have produced more Vils after the situation is brought under control, i.e. with only 2 or less enemies left in the game. I am keen to look through any replays that defeated all the enemies whilst keeping both the Tower of Flies and Accursed Towers intact. Accursed Tower seems to go down really quickly in most replays.

      It is GenoAC in Italian. The Anglophone world has mutated it to Genoeez. Either is therefore correct depending on what you fancy.
