That single farm brought down 6 enemy economies to their knees. Tbh I made 5 farmer with the pause bug so that I would always have enough wheat. I mean, like i only have enough green to place one single farm and nothing else, i think it was still fair to use it
@Nasreddin Kahveci Calm down brother, it's on max speed and I just came up with some random strategy as I was playing, calling this "novice" play while most people can't beat this mission unless they cheese it or play the whole mission on 20 speed.

It truly is the hardest mission. I struggled for 3 hours but eventually made it in the end with macemen and horse archers after making enough money from producing crossbows and leather armor. The mission lasted for 100 years lmao.
Dude it took me ~15 hours, I didn't know so much stuff that would've been useful lol. Managed to get my economy through stone and iron, and bought all food, didn't use any crossbowmen all game. Attacked with horse archers + shields + ballistas

It becomes easy ! When you're continuesly playing the game for at least 1 to 2 months. I play it when i was in class 3rd. At that time it seems to be very hard . But now I'm in 1st year and now i start it to playing i neve rplay it for about 10 year.Even now i can't play like this guye 😂

I have played this game for years, but never come up with the idea of using towers to get the crossbowmen over the enemy walls then shoot the f*ck out of the surroundings. Very clever tactics, very good play sir :D .
I think the best way to attack wolf is baiting his fire pits with slaves or spearmen as cannon fodder while they have some cover fire by archers and shields. tunnelers to break first wall, then a seige tower to get your crossbowmen and shields on one of his towers while sending assassins over wall to destroy his barrack. He's the most fun to attack. Second most fun to attack would be caliph.
Tbh after you kill caliph and nizar, you can gather resources without much trouble, after that its over, you can steamroll all of them with 30 catapult+ horse archers+ assassins combo.
For casual player, I recommend to make the game as slow as possible at early game if you overwhelmed with the surroundings. You can turn it up later after you ready or temporarily fasten your worker.
@@ThePalmbank Yup, hahaha. That's exactly what my older brother did when he played Stronghold. He always put ox tethers on their castle gates and then made the tethers vacant. They couldn't exit the castle..
it seems like the only way how to accomplish this mission. They are no other sources except for taxes. The iron is also almost impossible to reach at least at the beginning
It is the best way for sure. Here is the maths :D One work cycle of crossbow uses 3 wood. Without fear factor, each crossbow workshop produces 1,5 crossbow in 1 cycle, which is divided to 1-2-1-2-1-2 pattern. 1 crossbow can be sold for 30 gold. 5 wood cost 20 gold. So from 3 wood, which is 12 gold, you basically make 1,5 crossbows, which is 45 gold. Here is the bigger maths :D From 100 wood, which is 400 gold, you make 50 crossbows, which you sell for 1 500 gold.
How I did this back in the day was, make an army of macemen with all the gold you have in start of the map and kill the nearest one (Caliph it was I think), It took 3-4 attempts lol, but once I killed, got a lot of gold from him and then it was a bit easy
@@hamed-es3wz From what I've seen you get thousands of gold if you kill a rich enemy at the start of the game. But later on in the game (especially when the enemy lord has no money anyway) 500 becomes the standard amount you receive when killing an enemy lord.
No pause means no multiple workers. Damn, youre the greatest lord. I play this using multiple worker trick, and i never heard 'not enough goods' or 'not enough gold'. Only, 'you are the greatest lord'
@@jeremiasnater4288hit pause then sleep and unsleep a workplace then hit unpause and it will send more workers without canceling the old ones, essentially doubling your output
Took me 5 bloody hours to finish it, reason for it is that I forced it with Horse Archers... but using Macemen and Knights was actually a lot easier. Although there was almost no space for stables XD
I play this game when i was 12 year old and know i am 23 year old i remember these moments always i have 34 soundtrack this game i was listening to remember my childhood
Just finished this mission,taking 3 hours to complete and i need 2 level restart, actually the most fun level for me, you can actually just wait until their economies is ruined (except wolf, for some reason he still have 40k gold while other lords barely have 2k gold) and then raid with horse archers/catapults, they are really slow to recover their defenses, and then just rush through their weakened defenses with maceman/assassins
i did this mission myself last month seriously hard with just 1 farm i bought wood .Made bows out of it and sold them took me hours on top of hours to complete it seriously good job man!!!!!!!!
In my opinion going no food and only beer would be more efficient. At least that is what I have done in this mission. Build gardens to be able to get some nice taxes and additional damage for long range soldiers
@@Jefflenious It is also possible to extend down the small path and get 2 quarrys. defend with the smallest tower stacked with archers etc. and just infront of it a moat
I have bit different tactics, i use water protection and able to get stone stations 2x which basically double speed of this mission :D love this game for year, i come back to this game from time to time to complete missions, completed thsi game like at least 20 times
I grew up playing age of empires, then this game came out and was very well made. I think age of empires tho definitely wins. They really need to fix the online play, My brother and I have been trying to get that to work for awhile with no luck.
You did it pretty fast. I awlays take so long to finish this mission, since i always procast to deal with wolf and his anoying castle. So i defeat them in the following order: nizar, caliph, emir, Richard, wolf, wazir
to screw the wolf's economy you also can make 2 or 3 trebuchets, build a wall in front to protect them from the balists and also keep breaking his 2 laterals towers. A mangonel targeting at wazir's castle is also great to made him stop attacking you pretty eartly
i never finish this mision, i block the left pass by using stone wall, its not work.but a digging.... and use shield to protect crossbowmen in the tower, i never knew that, its worked? a libirin..... i never think that, well, thank u so much for the video, i will try again this mision 👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🦝🦝🦝🦝❤️❤️❤️
I consider myself to be pretty good at stronghold crusader, having played and beaten the campaign and all the scenarios in the first game, ive just never tried the trail, im on mission like, 16 right now. Cant wait to get to this one, looks like fun.
I accomplish this mission by purchasing mace-man immediately killing the closes caliph which has the highest gold before they start building walls. From there i started playing slowly.
I just finished this map and it's way harder than any previous. I didn't make any food, weapon or armour. I made some churches, flowers, beer, taxed people a lot, mined stone and iron. I don't know how much I played, probably more than 10 hours but mission lasted for about 160 years.

Great video and absolutely awesome game, not sure if you do this now or if someone said already. But what I use todo with the horse archers is save up about 100 of them and you set them to run on a patrol route in front of a castle very very affective.

I have played this game for years, but never come up with the idea of using towers to get the crossbowmen over the enemy walls then shoot the f*ck out of the surroundings. Very clever tactics, very good play sir :D .
Haha yeah siege towers were my favorite siege units in the game and I really wanted to make them work so here's one way to do it
that's how I beat the final mission of the original stronghold :)
I think the best way to attack wolf is baiting his fire pits with slaves or spearmen as cannon fodder while they have some cover fire by archers and shields. tunnelers to break first wall, then a seige tower to get your crossbowmen and shields on one of his towers while sending assassins over wall to destroy his barrack.

For casual player, I recommend to make the game as slow as possible at early game if you overwhelmed with the surroundings. You can turn it up later after you ready or temporarily fasten your worker.
The easiest way is closing the enemy's gates use wood cutter while you build yout castle, and attact them one by one when you are ready. Hahahah
@@ThePalmbank Yup, hahaha.
That's exactly what my older brother did when he played Stronghold. He always put ox tethers on their castle gates and then made the tethers vacant. They couldn't exit the castle..
Using the Wolf's towers to kill off Wazir and Richard was absolutely brilliant.
I find that buying wood, crafting crossbows and then selling them seems to be the most lucrative exchange. Excellently handled the mission though
it seems like the only way how to accomplish this mission. They are no other sources except for taxes. The iron is also almost impossible to reach at least at the beginning
With proper placement you can also support about 30-40 people with 1 wheat farn
@Brandon McDonnell hmm I might have to try this method. I've been stuck on this mission for weeks now.
It is the best way for sure. Here is the maths :D One work cycle of crossbow uses 3 wood. Without fear factor, each crossbow workshop produces 1,5 crossbow in 1 cycle, which is divided to 1-2-1-2-1-2 pattern. 1 crossbow can be sold for 30 gold. 5 wood cost 20 gold. So from 3 wood, which is 12 gold, you basically make 1,5 crossbows, which is 45 gold.
