I did take the farmland but yeah you can place moat right beneath the iron pit and use it

@@Jefflenious I still remember an extremely cheesy way to win any battle VS AI. Just put an Ox thether in front of their gates only when castle is completely surrounded. Enemy can't destroy it and AI kills all of its infrastructure ASAP can't get troops out and starve to death in minutes

[@kbuitienthinh]

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 .

[@Jefflenious]

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

[@borismulder9585]

that's how I beat the final mission of the original stronghold :)

[@henrry889]

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.

[@kogerugaming]

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.

[@matijabukovcan118]

Bro 21 years later and people still play this masterpice

[@raidarthegunwizard4520]

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]

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

[@LeonardoCuccitini]

@@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..

[@xMrGreeneJeansx]

Using the Wolf's towers to kill off Wazir and Richard was absolutely brilliant.

[@alamgir5553]

I find that buying wood, crafting crossbows and then selling them seems to be the most lucrative exchange. Excellently handled the mission though

[@simonstrba7686]

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

[@poldi2233]

With proper placement you can also support about 30-40 people with 1 wheat farn

[@grangermoch8392]

@Brandon McDonnell hmm I might have to try this method. I've been stuck on this mission for weeks now.

[@thomassleziak1222]

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.

[@explucto]

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]

i think now if you kill anyone you'll just get 500 not what they have

[@andrewsharpe7630]

@@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.

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

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
