If you have any wishes for specific matchups, just tell them in the comments. The quickmatches are planned to be a fast 1 vs 1 format. Maybe there will be some teamfights in the future, but there are enough 1 vs 1 variations for a while :)
Yeah, if only he had some crossbows, or at least had the tower ballistas in the front and the magonels in the back. He would have fared a lot better I think.
@@ArariaKAgelessTraveller European bowmen are quite lame as I have noticed in this game. Also in this game are Arabian bowmen better than European, they cause greater damage and do have longer range.
This all boils down to a couple of factors. -Richard doesn't use enough ranged units and relies only on a pitiful amount of archers and tower engines. While those are both more cost effective than Arabian archers, Saladin's basic incursions with Arab archers wipe out Richard's archers every time. -Richard's "Economy is being harassed" response force is archers and pikemen. He never got enough economy to afford the pikemen to designate them to the response force group, so he couldn't retaliate. -Richard has no good cost effective ranged counter to Arabian swordsmen other than the boiling oil, which can be sniped or burn up the buildings in his walls if it ends up being used during a breach. -Richard can't take out fire ballistae without his tower ballistae being in range. Surprised that the kills were so close in number though, I guess killing the throw-away harassing units leveled things out.
yup, his only really advantage is that pikemen and swordsmen are better than arabian swordsmen. which are kind of gimped by the fact he has no crossbows or macemen to add to his roster either. Sucks that knights are gimped as well just by building economy standards. He also only has single walls compared to saladins double walls which has a hidden bonus to resist damage and his towers are weaker than saladin as well.
Well one big part is missing gold in the beginning for a jump start. Richard lives of his attacks, especially the early ones. His starting numbers are not great but he is quick to attack, which increases the amount rapidly. In this scenario Richard didn't get to attack in his style. He had to spend way too much gold to respond to enemy attacks and harass.
I think another large factor here is that the castles are quite close to each other, and Saladins castles are further forwards than Richards. This means Saladin had more control of the middle, hence more often sniped Richards woodcutters and apple/dairy farmers, which in turn gave Saladin even more map control, etc. This led to the part in the middle where Saladin was just continuously firing at Richards turrets, while Richard could not reach the catapults to take them out. Richard would probably have done somewhat better if there had been more farm area to the south-west, and if the catapults had not been in the defensive range of Saladins castle.
@@Irishcrossing Pikemen aren't better than Arabian Swordsmen, Arabian Swordsmen mop the floor with Pikemen. His only advantage was normal Swordsmen which is already at a disadvantage since its harder to spam.
@@salt_97 really? I thought Pikemen could at least compete with arabian swordsmen due to having the highest defenses, beating even swordsmen, for standard units.
@@swolllincoln186 Not really, their infantry is total crap and their archers are way too expensive. You can see this when Saladin just takes a millenia to take down a frederick even when he has an advantage. The reason Richard lost here was because Saladin has way more economy. Give Richard a castle with 6 tower engines, plenty of European archers and an economy like Saladin and he'd steamroll him. This is not just theorizing btw, I once did it with a Richard that had 2 more iron mines and a decent castle with a back door, thicker walls and more archers. It wasn't even close.
Richard has a decent economy, very good attacks but borderline Rat level of castle defense. His whole defence is basically let the enemy in and then kill them with tons of Pikemen and Swordsmen in the Lord's keep. Problem is that if he gets attacked while having few Pikemen and Swordmen he's virtually defenseless. Saladin on the other hand has the best economy in the game, good attacks AND a good defense as well. Only the Wolf and maybe Frederick can compete and beat Saladin. Emir Omar is another close one as well.
I've actually done this test a few times and it's a toss up really. Lionheart definitely beats Saladin a few times but Saladin beats Lionheart more often.

It's a patch which fixes bugs and improves most of the AI. For example Richard has way more archers on his towers, they attack more frequently and every attack gets stronger and stronger with (i think) no limit. Edit: i just found an english yt-video on that topic ua-cam.com/video/hLQ26WkgQ2s/v-deo.html
Moin Udwin, Könntest du Mal ein Video über deine Buidlorder zu der Burg aus dem Duell gegen die Hänno KI erstellen? Natürlich kann man es sich dort Stück für Stück anschauen aber ein extra Video nur über den Bau der Burg fände ich schon hilfreich. Zumal ich finde dass es auf UA-cam relativ wenig Videos zum reinen Aufbau einer effizienten Burg gibt.
Could someone please tell me what mod is being used here, also I see the Saladin using catapults and the AI rebuilding towers that were destroyed but bottom half remained, this never happened when I played this game 20 years ago, are there gameplay mods being used here too? Thanks
Really? I used to kill my own lord by put him on pitch and burn it using fire archer just to know the game statistic. Of course i do that after i save the game progress. And it is fun to see great castle crumbled with hundreds of army die instantly 😊
He sometimes forgets small details but nevertheless he knows almost everything from stronghold if not everything. In the AI tournament on his mainchannel he 'only' gave them the top 3 of their castles to work with which didn't made a great difference with Sultan :D
outcome was obvious, problem of this game's AI is that it would be hard to maintain distinctive AI's castle layouts while infinitely expanding eco, so AI is hugely limited when it comes to utilizing available resources, i'd dig the shit outta that stone, while AI... 2 quarries are nuff bruh.
Also he has many fans who happily would do it for him. One of them made an ENTIRE campaign for Udwin with 29 missions! And in my opinion this fan made campaign is better than the original. I think you even can download this campaign but it's in german if it wasn't updated.
@@mynameisdulcion6361 That's the greatest thing. Laguage is doesn't matter. I play this game 15 years ago. At that time, I don't know english. I remember the first time I play first mission: Arrival (vs Sultan Abdul) and He say to me: "The lamb has fallen to the Sultan's beak!"
@@jack86 that's awesome! Which is your First language if I may ask? :) And you could just google translate the objektives:D But (if you actually play this campaign) be aware that the maker of it really likes to play with fire:D It's been 6 years and udwin is still traumatized by this :D
a much better map. We can actually see some real sieges here, instead of keep to keep projectile battles. I'd like to see pig vs sheriff. I enjoy both as my ally, but I really wonder which one fares better in a 1v1.
Well we all know how this will end but for funsies would be nice to see somethinf like wolf against rat lmao xd, well atleast we can count how long rat will survive or if wolf will run out of wood thanks to rats brain plans heh
Lionhearted with some amount of good money is a trouble but in this situation any arabic will win well actually almost every time even with good amount of money or not

rat vs philip
Marshall vs Kalif
wolf vs saladin
Marshall vs Sultan
This is so incredibly cool that almost two decade old game still has videos covering it on youtube
The term "Defense" doesn't exist in Richard's vocabulary.

this is better dude. This is not a ''better ranged castle win'' battle

They both have the maximum recruitment speed. The difference is that Saladin has an actually good economy while Richard "just" has good units.
Also Arab troops are OP. Only gold needed.

Once Saladin came out with couple of fire ballistas, I knew he was going to win
Indeed
1:00 that flour mill windmill rotates so hard it could probably creates electricity 🤣🤣🤣🤣
finally we're back to the deathmatch
Saladin defeated Richard in the truth and in the game😂😄
Omg, Deathmatches ☠️
Keep it up!
Look at saladin using the kids to demoralize the enemy and protect his walls. Truly a wise king!
I enjoy this video format & would like to see more. Thanks

Man i wish the ai will expand their economy even further after they done their castle
0:30 my plan worked perfectly! You are no match for me
Infidel
The tactician must always yield to the economist.
I wish to see all castles of richard against all castles of saladin.
I think, that would be a great idea to every battles in future

9:23 those fire throwers were inside men for Richard.
how to play like this quick match without us.....PLZZ
The fire throwers at 9:25 just show us how bad the AI actually is. The guy just burns an intire attack for a redbarred lord.
I like how the bear moves with this gamespeed😂😂

Who would win a rich man or a salad man?
Sandro is that you? Im your no.1 fan :o still seeking artifacts?
Sandro, the necromancer? I thought your name is Kel'Thuzad, the Necromancer who was summon the Demon Lord, Archimonde.
Did you edit your keep out of the first second of this video??
How did you get to start a map without your own keep?
can you make richard vs caliph?
I think that is the first time I saw a Lord die through fire... well maybe the second time
Really? I used to kill my own lord by put him on pitch and burn it using fire archer just to know the game statistic. Of course i do that after i save the game progress. And it is fun to see great castle crumbled with hundreds of army die instantly 😊
R.I.P Richard
The low starting gold benefits Saladin more, because his economy is stronger.
Also his troops are cheaper
hey Lord Udwin
do u know u can choose what castle an AI can build
I really hope u make Wolf vs Wolf
huge Square castes, vs his other Big castles
He sometimes forgets small details but nevertheless he knows almost everything from stronghold if not everything.
In the AI tournament on his mainchannel he 'only' gave them the top 3 of their castles to work with which didn't made a great difference with Sultan :D
Richard as enemy is missing one unit. Crossbows.
He would be very dangerous with those.
That's bassicly Wolf, he use almost every unit
Richard cowers in his castle as fire consumes it, and the armies that come to kill him ---> still burns to death when he finally steps outside.
when saladin came out with so many arabian swordsmen i thought it was end of lionheart but saladin wanted to kill him by burning him i guess
missed such videos
Finally they have resources
9:22 lmao
10:27 I wouldn't get killed by a saracen ... GOD WILLS IT 🔥🔥🔥AAArrrhh...........
Next : 7 rat vs 1 wolf
Deathmatch mode
It would be great
wolf can win.
If the Wolf manages to build his economy and all he wins easily. Otherwise he gets rushed to death by the 7 Rats and loses.
outcome was obvious, problem of this game's AI is that it would be hard to maintain distinctive AI's castle layouts while infinitely expanding eco, so AI is hugely limited when it comes to utilizing available resources, i'd dig the shit outta that stone, while AI... 2 quarries are nuff bruh.
Saladin "lit your own units on fire" "ThE wIsE" claims another victim :D
Hab noch nie so ein neues Video gesehen - "vor 6 Minuten" :D
Saladin just showing his favorite finger in the caption picture.
Richard not producing 75 catapults / second. Interesting.
9:26 lol.. killed by own men
Make it more realistic (accurate) , Richard + Philip Vs Saladin
"A king does not kill a king"
This is why Saladin left Richard take his own life in fire 😅
IT'S RICHARD THE LION HEARTED, HE'S ATTACKING!!
Oh wait wrong game
Do 1 3000 gold vs 7(no rat or saladin and no duplicate, wolf is a must) 22000 gold challange on that circle map with lion it
After richards defeat he was chased by saladins best huntsmen the wazir who will soon catch up to richards army
Нормально
