Rat's Cousin Challenge? - Stronghold Crusader

[@Sunbro_Solaire]

Awesome content, couldn’t stop laughing! Right now, I’ve raised the stakes and donation as well because my next proposed challenge is going to be harsh and most likely very difficult. I am looking forward to how you are going to take your lead on this. Scenario: “Assassins of kings” where you will be allied with 2 King Philips vs 4 allied Nizars. Your role will be playing as distant cousin to the Philip royal family, who is a bit demented when it comes to defense strategy. What’s more, your family recently began to be strict on budget to finance the royal cavalry, therefore the following rules apply: - You can only use Knight as troops (cavalry). You cannot use your starting troops and they have to be dispersed to peasants. Because only horse rider knights are allowed, you must rely on your cousins to finish off the enemy lords - You must setup the difficulty to maximum computer advantage and start with minimum gold available (economy challenge and prohibits early harassing) - As for defense, you can only use lowered walls, Perimeter Turret, stairs, small gatehouse + any traps - Both of your allies have to stay alive for the duration of the match - Every 8 minutes you must send 25 bread to each of your cousins to feed mares - There are few castle designs for Nizar where his castle is inaccessible without digging the moat. You can either restart the game or try your luck if one of the allied Philips will use his troops to dig it up - You must change your ingame profile picture to represent the demented state of King Philip cousin of the royal family (up to your imagination) - Your AI robot must read all this essay at the begining of the video Good luck!

When you gave him 20 stone one time, he sold 20, bought 10, and sold 20 again..... Big brain!

[@Netman64xD]

Sir, I believe our cowardly Lord, De Puce, must truly have gone mad. He keeps talking about how his cousin rat is living inside his walls, and whom he claims offer him stone and is smuggling cheese inside the castle. And yet, with great disbelief, it seems that since he started talking to himself, he has been able to easily repel, outsmart, lay siege upon, and to my great shock, even defeat the Wolf. Whatever it is that now ails our Lord, let's hope it doesn't get better.

4:46 ??? I didn't know the rat could make pikemen... dang!

[@solventman8307]

This is Unofficial Crusader Patch feature, one of which AI option to choose from to be precise

[@CypherDVoid]

Well I’ll be a rodent’s uncle. You even used mostly spearmen and archers.

[@vamp1310]

To be fair about the cheese not being adequate, it doesn't exactly help that your economy is forced to exist around rat's fortress of logistical nightmares.

[@sebastiancalderonmoreno1060]

The streets will never forget the bravery of the Rat and his liiitle cousin

[@Hotdawg179]

Love your content!

[@Jefflenious]

I appreciate that!

[@lordsnia2152]

absolutely loving these mad scenarios!!!!!!!!!

[@Najemnik_Wilk]

Can you beat emir with only tunnelers are offensive troop (wolf and rat are appearing too often so something different :D)

[@Takeda_1582]

I wish in all pf your challenge videos you had kept talking.Love your wits and quips during them.

[@TheUbiouS]

Man is dedicated, I respect that

[@vertujoe2886]

Be cringe, be Duc de Puce

[@lonesomealeks4206]

An easy challenge: Defeat 7 rats in one crusade, swordsmen only.

[@LukzTroller]

A difficult challenge: Defeat 7 Caliphs in one crusade, your economy is only based on cheese production.

[@lonesomealeks4206]

@@LukzTroller Religion+Beer= Gold. then make 50 Katapults huehue

[@LukzTroller]

@@lonesomealeks4206 I know what you mean, but that's too much. Sometimes I prefer to turn tons of iron into gold and units.

[@Ahmadabdal_]

Hell na you cheated with your “patrols” 🤣

[@FF-pv7ht]

this is a great idea, but this map on normal settings really has the wolves struggle, farmland is not easily available for the left side of this map, alot of trees and long walkways..

[@veilnebula2411]

thanks god he didn't force you to install a mod to make you your lord as weak as rat XD

[@aperks]

its all good,but can you beat it using ONLY buildings that rat uses too?

[@Jefflenious]

NOOO Actually I've done it before but apparently I didn't restrict myself enough so, it was a bit cheaty

[@Assassinss77]

5:05 wait the rat produced pikeman? What are they doing there since they are not yours?

[@SmallPotato2313]

Ucp is being used ( unofficial crusader patch) this allows you to change some things about the game and AI too. Its generally good to make AI opponents more challneging to play against.

[@Jefflenious]

Yeah a custom AI was running which wasn't 100% intended but I didn't care since it made my life a lot harder anyway! Wolves were making assassins too, and it'll also optimize their unit production

[@juestomunba9658]

Good challange! But I have a question: can i do it this challange in my own channel like the previous one?

[@Jefflenious]

Yeah of course!

[@themadhatter8178]

I want to see challenges on Crusader Extreme to include powers and outposts into the battle.

[@FelixFee]

Great stuff! :)

[@jordanday5995]

Was the rat using pikemen??? I’ve never seen this

[@joekost1038]

Can you beat a pig with only stupid units? Such as slaves, slinger, spearman, ladder man, firebomb thrower.

[@boglarkaracz4452]

i say this in the cousin philiph video but okay i am not angry

[@1ShepardCZ]

*B R A V O !*

[@LukzTroller]

Hey Jefflenious, can you do this challenge? Try beating sheriffs by siege engineers!

[@Jefflenious]

Feels too easy tbh, fire ballistas are too good especially when your opponent doesn't really chain attack you And if we remove fire ballistas it becomes almost impossible!

[@LukzTroller]

@@JeffleniousThat's highly right and true. Do you want to do it at first or I go ahead?

[@Takeda_1582]

Too easy.You can destroy sheriff by one fire ballista and he keeps being roasted.

[@LukzTroller]

😅😅 Sounds fun, I guess he may rebuild his economy in any case, spamming fire ballistas is recommended to finish him off.

[@foxboi6309]

I'm still waiting to see if Jeff can beat Hades without marketplace 😂

[@Jefflenious]

Ahhhh Okay, queued!

[@dumitrelcojocariu3479]

Nice!

[@biotech.ammarmaan64]

How did the rat recruit pikemen?

[@Jefflenious]

I custom AI was running, Wolf was recruiting assassins too! This would make everything harder for me though, they would spend their money slightly better

[@sadr_0987]

Can you beat richard with only your lord?

[@aminadabbrulle8252]

Oh, man. Baiting the Lionheart's lord into traps incoming.

[@Jefflenious]

No!

[@Mega1234567890111]

Can you beat mission 80 with melee units only?

[@handzzupp]

Yes its possible! I did it few weeks ago. I just had to do it on 25 gamespeed. But im curious how Jefflenious will do it

[@Jefflenious]

Been trying it since ever! Still don't know how to do it

[@handzzupp]

@@Jefflenious you want my strategy? I know you have the skills for it

[@Jefflenious]

@@handzzupp Yeah sure, but hopefully it doesn't involve blocking their buildings right?! I want to force myself to play a long economical game and not a cheesy one! Otherwise there would be no point

[@handzzupp]

@Jefflenious No ofcourse not, that way everyone can do it. It's without glitching or cheating. It involves rushing tho. I will message you on discord later!

[@Thaumogenesis]

Can anyone come up with a worse challenge?

[@lvinteguh630]

How to + crowding, i remember can get + but i forgot how to get that

[@altaruss2838]

you most definitely can't, and I know that for sure since all the possible modifiers defined in the code are negative
