    I think I have never built so many woodcutters in Stronghold but it seems to be very effective to jump start the economy.
    And when you see you are going to lose a gatehouse, just move the troops to the side, so they will not fall down, take damage and be killed by the swordsmen.

    Just a tip i think you sould build your mill righj next to the stockpile. Since they pick and deliver to it.
    The closer it is to the pile the faster it can process

    • @baschdiro8565

    I don't know if they fixed it or not but in Stronghold Crusaders you could surpass the max each tower could hold by sending them in as smaller groups instead of everything at once. Having 100 or more on a single tower pretty much made taking that area impossible XD

      Draw your army to the left bottom.
      Send raiding party to activate the pitches.
      Aim for the Inner Castle. Send macemen to dig the moat.
      Send towers when macemen are done.
      Once the towers reach the wall, defenders can't do anything against them.
      Last trick: Pig will burn down his whole castle once you get into. Better to wait for the flames burn away on the walls over Pig's dead soldiers...

    Hi Zack I also played the demo and these are the things I noticed. Maybe you can send feedback aswell to them with any of these points you agree with.
    Heres the most important feedback in my opinion:
    1)Holding the left click and scrolling around the minimap feels very buggy and hard to control
    2)Clicking on peasants that are not assigned to a job plays a random speech and not what is written on screen.
    3)You could use the worker's portraits from crusader 1 when clicking on them which are coloured and better looking. These are black and white and more dull. Would be great if you switch those with crusader 1's which are basically the same but in colour and better looking.
    4)Clicking on goods on the stockpile doesnt redirect me to the market so i can sell them. I have to go to the market and click on the category and choose the goods to do so.
    5)Wish I could zoom in and out using my mouse wheel so I can play at the zoom ratio I want and not the only 3 options which are too zoomed in or too zoomed out for my liking.
    6)Some movement animations dont look natural like the original. for example the priest or the swordsmen walking look like reverse moonwalking.
    7)The AI taunt video messages disappear before the text disappears. They used to stay on screen until the text vanished in the original which was better imo.
    8)Choosing colour would be also great for this or crusader 1 de.
    9)Clicking on the peasants in the tutorial doesnt produce any sound of them talking.
    10)I remember there was an option to lower the walls without grounding the buildings like the space option so i can see better how much stone there is gathered in my quaries or to get a better view of something. Not sure if that was part of Stronghold aswell but im mentioning it too.
    11)The scribe could use some work as well to look more natural like the original
    Thanks for reading

      This is just the part where I beat that mission, so it is the same video. But turns out, despite my last video getting almost 100K views, many still haven't heard anything about the DE version. This video isn't part of the sponsorship though, they only asked for 1, but still I figured I should clarify that at the beginning of this one.

  • @WoofyMcDoodle
    @WoofyMcDoodle ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I beat this on very hard by first building spears. Spears build faster than bows and they are honestly quite good units vs maceman I even beat the swordsmen of the wolf with them. The 10 Bowmen you get from the beginning are more than enough to beat the first archer waves. Once you beat the first wave of the snake you can focus more on economy and ramp up archer and crossbow production.

      This version will be coming with a whole new 14 mission campaign, so if you get the original you'll be missing some content. Also this DE version will have Steam multiplayer, the original you need to use Hamachi or other 3rd party software. I've played the original, this DE version feels better to me.

      @GamerZakh  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because the demo just released and people would want this portion as a guide. It's called repurposed content, for people who haven't seen it or need a reminder. Just the day before this video I made a community post and some people have never even heard of Stronghold DE, so not only have they not seen the first video they haven't seen any Stronghold DE videos. And if I were to make a specific guide on how to beat this mission, it would be just this again, so would it be better if I recorded me doing the exact same thing again?

    • @GamerZakh
      @GamerZakh  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I did try a number of approaches from various places and tried to do them with minimal effort, then showed the one with my minimal effort style. I don't think I saw Lord Balder though? So it could be someone copied them and I got the base idea from someone who copied? It's a good thing I didn't credit, I would've credited a copy. That's the problem if you want to claim ownership over content like this. Imagine if someone ripped this from me and credited me for it.

    • @GamerZakh

      For example, just looking up walkthroughs of the map now, RazingHel has a similar guide: th-cam.com/video/hPe3g3f6iu4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UGrC49d7UyVfDfPG
      AntsoBantso did it similarly too: th-cam.com/video/GtX4Dw6NN3k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_w0uJt-WU2b8tIO3
      The approach to the mission seems pretty old. Lord Balder's video looks like a more refined version of this: th-cam.com/video/Hcmt6NSnfUI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dm3K1Lsd6OzT1sDa Kuros_666 who seems to have the same idea but executes it kind of messily.
      So my question is, did Lord Balder originate the strategy, refine it from something older, or copy it themselves? I wouldn't mind adding a credit but I need to be 100% sure I credit the person who invented this approach to the mission. If I credit the wrong person, I'd just get accused of other things.
