Challenge: protect the rats You have to keep 3 rats alive (on same team) from 3 wolves. If a rat dies you fail the mission

[@snapexexe]

Rat can defeat a wolf when protected. As stupidly as it sounds, wolf economy is not able to deal with waves of spearmen

[@zooooom9839]

Thank you for idea 😊

[@bradleynugent9123]

theres no way you beat caliph with 0 starting res, let alone wolf or emir

[@Ifatov]

Well, funny that you should mention that. I just gave it a shot against the Wolf (2000 Gold) and let me tell you, it was absolutely hilarious. 30 of my slaves burned his castle to a crisp, then my pikemen and monks roflstomped him. He didn't get even one attack in before the end, just some 5 horse archers in between. I'd say the more advanced lords are actually easier to deal with because they take so long to build up their castle.

[@user-nx4wj6zy1u]

On the contrary, I think the Rat is one of the most difficult opponents for this challenge. He attacks almost immediately, destroys the economy (already weak), he doesnt spend money on building a hard castle and expensive units for protection

[@birisuandrei1551]

Emir is probably the hardest to deal with in a game like this, afterall his first attack is pretty quick and sends arab swordsmen which your lord cannot beat alone, the wolf takes a long time to get his castle up and running though...so if you can beat him in a normal game, this won't be much different. And the Caliph is easy too, his first attacks are mostly just slaves, easy kills for the lord.

[@soos1885]

I never knew boomer would play crusader kings

[@sascha5673]

Snake will be the most difficult opponent I guess

[@user-cw7yi1ew1z]

this musıcs really gıve me some feelings that I cant explain

[@foxboi6309]

The way you play is so good man. I actually showed to a cousin of mine a video of you playing mission 25 (The Forgotten) so he could get an idea of what to do, plus some extra advice from me on how to manage his economy a bit more efficiently, and he destroyed them quickly!

[@darthplagueis13]

Funnily enough, in spite of being the weakest lord in the game, Rat might not be the easiest for this challenge. Simply because his set-up is so minimalist and cheap that it makes him one of the earliest attackers in the game and the fundamental bottleneck without ressources is time.

[@maluxorath8715]

That is why when I first started playing Stronghold Crusader I was getting rekt by Rat, the "easiest" enemy so I decided to try against Wolf, the "hardest". Turns out it was easier to fight Wolf because he spends an eternity building his castle which also gave me enough time to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing haha.

[@sergeychistov8162]

I have enjoyed watching this. Well done!

[@BearologyLabs]

For some reason I find myself watching these games but I have no intention of actually playing them. Love your videos!

[@Arnazisti]

Heya Jeff, have you done a video on the various variations of AI lords? I always found it very interesting to play skirmish mode, but I'd add like 7 of the same AI and see how the castles vary!

[@RRPL337]

Cool, hope to see more :))

With UCP Spearman running default ON i bet you lose to mr Rat.

[@jamescornett981]

Now I definitely got to start playing again.

[@cpartyy]

Hi Jefflenious, I like your videos and video ideas. Here is a new challenge for you. Play against one of strong AI(Saladin, Richard etc.) and try for 0 unit casualities.

[@devoniandavenlord1063]

Congrats at victory! Now how about 2 or 3 stronger lords fighting each other while you start with nothing?

[@bigone5750]

You can mod the starting resources. Check out the "unofficial crusader patch". With that you can do it.

[@yeeyee8520]

This was considerably harder than I expected it to be

[@thesheq5023]

I feel like an early poleturner for pike would help a bit more than the second or third archery range

[@rejnold4453]

Hello Jefflenious, nice video, as always. I have a question to you. How to set green flag directly on your stronghold to keep your soldiers go directly to your lord place? Its very useful setting. Thank you in advance for the answer :)

[@abdulharistmuqorrobin7647]

[@TuxikCE]

4:50 Please tell from where you got that green flag and then how are your troops directly going on the keep instead of barracks? Please tell.

[@brosephbroheim6428]

I think it's B to go to barracks, then press shift + number key to select a rally point for each type of troop.

[@Vidhur]

You could've immediately put tax to max after starting challenge, even at 0 popularity you will have 4 peasants who will make you 8 monthly gold at highest tax rate, meaning with a woodcutter you will have 3 left standing around, spend your first wood on a mercenary camp and get some slingers to start with, they have less range than archers but if you micro them they're an amazing unit. Easier start than what you did in the video.

[@robertlepeta5394]

Iam high as shit and this video was a whole movie about medieval...damn...love it tho

[@philomat5078]

for Crusader its tuff, but for Stronghold 1 it just feels like every single mission level

I hear this music and I'm a young guy again. How can they mess up with this games sequels so hard. :(

[@user-nx4wj6zy1u]

I conducted an experiment under the same conditions with all 8 classic persons and I would distribute the difficult as follows: Saladin>Wolf>Richard>Caliph>Pig>Snake>Rat>Sultan. Saladin is difficult of mounted archers, Wolf and Richard are with heavy-armored units, Caliph and Snake are with slaves

What happened at 2:50 where your happiness went from 0 to 75?

[@RadekCrazy1]

The medieval porn was invented

[@puff7145]

Going below 4 peasants instantly resets happiness to 75 so you don't get softlocked

[@cevapipapi6167]

at 4:13 could have created 3-4 more archers that would have sped this up so much.

[@Veienn]

Woodcutter doesn't cost 3 wood? I always thought it was game over losing the market with 0 wood and 0 woodcutters...cool challenge :)

[@Jefflenious]

If you don't have any woodcutters and not enough wood to make one, the first woodcutter will become free!

[@Manslayer-eo1nh]

It is always nice to see when devs take the extra step to avoid softlocking yourself because you fucked up.

[@PapadubiTactical]

0 resources with Emir or Wolf ?

[@Belowbluewaterdiver]

Don’t worry about playing rat. I’m sure if you ask most people who decide they wanna play crusader I bet the majority pick him to fight against in a casual game

[@darthplagueis13]

Not sure about that, quite frankly. Rat is a bit boring to play against. My guess would be more along the lines of Pig or Richard the Lionheart. Not difficult but also not a free win.
