I love how for the first few months (ingame), the castle's defence was based only on the lord hiding in the bushes and eventually charging at everyone with a great axe, chopping man and horses alike to pieces. The population must have felt so safe.
And a tiny bit on the fact the woodcutters actually fight back with their axes. If nothing else, that allowed the lord to get to the horse archers, while they couldn't use their bows on the helpless population during their melee with the woodcutters.
Because caliph is code word for three wolves, you see, if you flip the first letter of caliph sideways and add a straight line in the middle it looks like a w, if you look at the top of the w it looks like three spears, now spears are scary just like the wolf and along with w = wolf this means that caliph = three wolves
So :) My friend i do not know how youtube found you for me, but such a nostalgy, and such a satisfaction to know there are still passionate people in Stronghold Crusader :)
The last castle can be beaten by a mixture of pikemen, crossbowmen, siege towers and macemen. You can also use a couple of pikemen strategically just behind enemy walls, where the towers have been destroyed, to make an entrypoint for your army, but it's better to 1. Make the inner walls accessible to siege towers by knocking down a part of the outer walls and shoveling the moat with pikemen 2. Roll to the inner walls with siege towers and crossbowmen, so that the rest of the pikemen and the crossbows can work together to occupy the towers and eliminate the bigger chunk of the standing army 3. Finish the lord and the remaining army with some macemen
I didn't think you would make it against 3 wolfs. Honestly I am most scared about pig and rat, because they attack so early on, but rat honestly was a joke. By the way, you're using ucp, did you think about using the healer building for early game? Should be really strong for the few troops you've got + it can heal the lord too!
Was really cool to see, how you turned this around :D Also short quesstion: Would you be so kind and put the text at the top of the screen while playing the game? At the bottom it just gets swallowed by the bad contrast from the colorful UI. Thx :)
You should really make a few wall patches, just 20 blocks in a few places, so they'll attack that instead with the catapults, it's a lifesaver so you don't constantly have to repair (AI attacks the nearest built thing to you)
I am getting curious but, couldn´t you just use in first few months, few hunting huts , get passive archers that you can circle around, and woodcutters as passive melle fighters ? :D Otherwise Wau nice gameplay man, subscribing, thumbs up .
There is a good trick to get 75 popularity instantly buy recruiting a unit when on 4 population. When drop bellow 4 you jump to 75. So you dont have to buy food or giving bribe
He didn’t use shields for his first three attacks so his horse archers took heavy casualties, and in his third attack his entire army was wiped out. Also his melee units were not armored so he probably lost a bit of those as well
the AI units just chasing the lord around instead of killing your crossbowmen feels so silly. basically AI abuse. I want to see a win where the lord doesnt leave the keep !
Dude how about Abbot, Richard, and Emir with no starter goods, troops and Gold. Can make it please? Owh anyway i'm also give you advice, if you're playing Stronghold Crusader with UCP you should build apothecary for healing yours troops and Lords too, because training and replacing dead troops is more expensive than healing your survived troops
This doesn't seem right. When the ai gets 40k gold they will attack within the first couple minutes. They become insanely aggressive but these wolves took ages to attack you. I feel like their ai bugged out in some way because this does not seem right.
Well, If it was triple Emir, it would be hell. Wolf relies too much on defense and while his castles look aesthetically pleasing, he is held by them too much and is obviously resource hungry. While Emir, Saladin and even Richie usually go for faster harass and faster all in
In the long term, quarry comes above the iron mine due to the fact that ox carts can take a good portion of stone per run to the stockpile compared to the 1.5 normal rate of iron mine, adding negative fear factor further boosts the effectiveness of quarry economy, and makes it incredibly reliable as a gold source. At the end of the day though, who cares which is better when you can just combine both and get a stronger economy through that.
no they don't, they each take 3 arrows to kill and you can get like 6-7 for each horse archer, and since the AI doesn't manage its raid horse archers properly, they run straight at you and won't be able to get more than like 3 arrows off before running into your slingers

Lol that's a hilarious visualization

Most advanced army in medieval Ohio
Well, the lord was earning his taxes
Lmao, 3 wolf's... Just goes to show how much wolf's obsession with building his giant castle first hurts him.
Achilles : Imagine a king who fights his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight?
I think the hardest UCP boss in this Challenge would be Emir? Emir just spawns in units out of nothing, maybe worth a try?
i didn’t know wolf and caliph were the same!
about time we learned
Because caliph is code word for three wolves, you see, if you flip the first letter of caliph sideways and add a straight line in the middle it looks like a w, if you look at the top of the w it looks like three spears, now spears are scary just like the wolf and along with w = wolf this means that caliph = three wolves
Indeed your holiness, indeed.
Been super busy these past few hours! Didn't even realize the title was wrong until now! Sorry guys
@@Jefflenious you should have kept it caliph, we had a good theory going on :D
My guy got too excited to fight Wolf, he forgets to re-title the video
Mad respect for this Jeff!
Nice clutch. This was intense! Thank you for video!
So :) My friend i do not know how youtube found you for me, but such a nostalgy, and such a satisfaction to know there are still passionate people in Stronghold Crusader :)
i was impressed to know how much people still play it, and i'm part of them lmao
Hey! Welcome!
Title: "How to beat Caliph"
Voice: How to beat Wolf
🗿
Wrong title, I have no idea why I copy pasted the same thing from the previous video! Was 3AM and wanted to go to bed asap
Nice content :) When you are kiting these heavy units around your keep - 1 or 2 fire throwers would do wonders :D
Of course you went with 50 catapults 🤣 great video mate!

Yeah i agree too, healer from apothecary with UCP goes brrrrr
what is ucp?@@muhammadyudhi1338
Impressive! Well played Jeff
I hope your channel will bloom goodluck♥️♥️♥️
14:28 hits. Song always gives me goosebumps. You are a friggin bad ass.
Was really cool to see, how you turned this around :D
Also short quesstion:
Would you be so kind and put the text at the top of the screen while playing the game? At the bottom it just gets swallowed by the bad contrast from the colorful UI. Thx :)
The UCP Apothecary would have been excellent in this challenge, resistance against illness + constant healing
That was awesome!!!
impressive. hats off!
Great Video! Thanks for sharing with us!
7:36 killing is his own troops😂

This is absolutely awesome
I've been playing this game for a very long time and never thought to use catapults so cool.
I was looking for something to watch and then all of the sudden this video appeared like 1 min ago
Bro , that was amazing
Lord mvp
I am getting curious but, couldn´t you just use in first few months, few hunting huts , get passive archers that you can circle around, and woodcutters as passive melle fighters ? :D Otherwise Wau nice gameplay man, subscribing, thumbs up .
4:30 Iron does indeed feel better, but both iron and stone are equally effective.
End was hilarious 😂
When i see these graphics and hear the voices i feel like i’m 10 again.. like after school alone at my home without any responsibility..
I've never seen someone kite with the Lord like that, nice
Very exciting
16:04 That's what she said
The lord is an absolute gigachad in this one.
You really having fun aren't ya boi
Caliph is the new Wolf
Keep it up
nice video mate
6:33 this moment is dangrus
Why am I so fascinated by this
Well done

That's actually a good advice, my tiny brain somehow didn't think of using that mechanic!
Next challenge:Beating mission 41(Thunder Hill) without resources,gold and units
hey.. how can i download this game? it looks pretty cool and i will even subscribe
love it
ah yes. i guess beating caliph is too hard that jeff renamed the vid
7 wolves next 😂
Those catapults are like medieval MRLS, scary af
you are very interesting and creatve ❤
W for Your Highness. 😂❤
Next: Triple Emir. 🙏🏼
It,s so so good 😛💣💚
When 3 wolves are too easy, bring 7 wolves! 🤔
You fight better than your father I'll give you that!
Can I have a question? How is possible that you have Marketplace for free? I had just Woodcutter for free.
Aww, poor Wolfie 😆
14:40 is one of my favourites too
Couldnt U place a tower behind the keep to make catapaults shot at it instead?
haha this was so entertaining
In this game tower or two full of crossbowmen = victory.
Nniiice, you can also use small portals for towers, troops can go up but enemies cannot
But you would have to delete them for the 20 Stone
@@gloinschmelzer7601 wat???
@@frabre1810 why portals instead of towers? The towers are taller so the cbm have more range
@@gloinschmelzer7601 not instead of toweds, portals FOR towers! Instead of stairs
@@frabre1810 still 20 Stone instead of 5, while the enemys only go for the lord
Amazing work, how did 1200 of your units die though?
He didn’t use shields for his first three attacks so his horse archers took heavy casualties, and in his third attack his entire army was wiped out. Also his melee units were not armored so he probably lost a bit of those as well
Can you defend in the start game using hunters?
Or is it a waste of wood.
They wont shoot enemies on Stronghold Crusader
you fight better than your father! ..I will give you that!
good
Imperessive...
Now beat 5 caliphes with it
Dear diary: today, Jeff chose violence
Stronghold crusader expert! Next time do it with seven sultans
Say pls where to get melody from 4:01???
Looks like they had time to play with someone in the begining
Is this only a ucp feature where the first woodcutter is for free? Or is it even a stronghold feature
No it exists in every Stronghold game! It's there to make sure you don't get locked out of playing the game!
Brother please do krarilotus Christmas calendar. Super exciting. Waiting for that series
How do you choose where your troops flag go when training?
you press the numbers 1-9 when in barracks/mercenary post
I have a more impossible task for you jeff. Can you do misty river mission 33 with no starting resources. That means no early troops. So can you ?
Know your place peasant!
the AI units just chasing the lord around instead of killing your crossbowmen feels so silly. basically AI abuse. I want to see a win where the lord doesnt leave the keep !
Imagine doing the whole crusader trail like this.
unfortunelly, on most missions you are in range of enemy towers since the start
or/and resources are hard to protect
He didnt choose this map randomly
its very large open map where each player starts with resources near
There is no fight for resources on this map
Shouldnt You build a most with like 5 slaves to work on it? Would help with horses a lot
Might be a nice strategy on a different map!
Dude how about Abbot, Richard, and Emir with no starter goods, troops and Gold. Can make it please?
Owh anyway i'm also give you advice, if you're playing Stronghold Crusader with UCP you should build apothecary for healing yours troops and Lords too, because training and replacing dead troops is more expensive than healing your survived troops
Yeah but it also costs like 100 gold which i think he has to invest in other stuff
If the enemy has a lot gold just destroy barracks and outpost so they cant make units
Okay, 4 Saladins you won’t.
does anyone know how to add the green flag to set where the troops will go after you buy them?
press shift from the keyboard
Jeff can you upload content of StrongHold warloads. I played its campaign and the game is so frekin good.❤🔥.
No marketplace, no starting resources/gold/units vs Wolf
The King in this game is the REAL KING and a better King than the King in Chess😂
True, it still moves like a chess king though! (Slow)
Survive emir Omar with no resources
This doesn't seem right. When the ai gets 40k gold they will attack within the first couple minutes. They become insanely aggressive but these wolves took ages to attack you. I feel like their ai bugged out in some way because this does not seem right.
It takes Wolf slightly longer to attack because his castle is huge and takes some time to build!
Well, If it was triple Emir, it would be hell. Wolf relies too much on defense and while his castles look aesthetically pleasing, he is held by them too much and is obviously resource hungry. While Emir, Saladin and even Richie usually go for faster harass and faster all in
Does sleeping cheat still works? Like it can double the worker of farmers. Ez wheat ez bread
Yeah it does! I didn't want to use it though
Im glad theres still people who played this game, Merry christmas y'all
5 pigs next?
14G at start, you cheater! :D and whatabout Nazir or Emir?
I have beaten 5 wolves with same starting gold
Maybe I underestimated you a little...
Music from 1:15?
Did you intent this title?
No! Changed!
I did the test and math. Mine is better gold/paysan than quarry, but quite close.
In the long term, quarry comes above the iron mine due to the fact that ox carts can take a good portion of stone per run to the stockpile compared to the 1.5 normal rate of iron mine, adding negative fear factor further boosts the effectiveness of quarry economy, and makes it incredibly reliable as a gold source.
At the end of the day though, who cares which is better when you can just combine both and get a stronger economy through that.
@@X_mezo_X You are right, but my point is Mines are better per paysan wich can be relevant if your population is limited.
16:04 that's what she said
What's with the flying dead cow?
You can shoot those with catapults and trebuchets, they leave a green cloud that damages units on the ground, but not on walls, towers etc.
bro How can i download this game....?
Please anyone give me download link please
you can totally use slingers against anything the AI throws at you, it's completely careless with its unit micro
But they die before the horse archers are even in range?
no they don't, they each take 3 arrows to kill and you can get like 6-7 for each horse archer, and since the AI doesn't manage its raid horse archers properly, they run straight at you and won't be able to get more than like 3 arrows off before running into your slingers
