Back 15 years ago i beat this using monks stealing elephants garrisoning them on castles and when i had 60 i went all in...nc good old days with free time
@@deonath.chourasia actually no. He betrayed first time. He actually didn't betrayed against lombard campaign. The other germanic princes plotted against him during that campaign. you can find it on wikipedia
I really like that they made Richard an actual ally with an economy. Its a nice distraction and if you help them their longbows are actually badass against Saladin
I finished this mission in 7 minutes. Before the Saracens attack me, I built 2 castles as close as possible to Jerusalem then declared war to yellow to destroy their wall with petards, and did the same on the walls of Jerusalem. Then with minimal resistance, Barbarosa reached Jerusalem within less than 7 minutes :))
Today I completed this map. I even stole the relic of the Saracens :O I'm bold! At the onset of the mission, send your six paladins in front of the Saracens' monastery, is roughly at the northeast edge of the map. Said relic is placed between two trees and has got the monastery as background. So you put the six Paladins doing a cordon and send your own Monk to deny enemys' ;)
I remember playing this. When I play these kind of "bring the barrel to the dome" I would always try to win by killing everyone. It backfired on me and I accidentally destroyed the dome
You can destroy the dome and still be victorious by first defeating all others (yellow, orange, green) and then destroy all the units of blue before the dome of rock. When blue will be defeated and there is no other left you will be instantly victorious.
How it was possible with 75 pop limit I can never know. AI can be dumb in many ways but the fact they can kite you with ranged unit in 10 places at the same time is clearly super human.
Fascinating... He loses so much shit but couldn't care less because of his economy... I just couldn't bear to see my army die like that :( And is why i end up with 20.000 food after I'm done with he mission
crazy every video of his, he lets his units on attack stance and they walk around and get killed. I mean he could have saved 90% of his army by just leaving them on defense stance. I seen three videos and it frustrates me to no end.
I did this mission on Hard , pretty easy when you wall both gates on the north ,place some castles , and help the British , when you help them they’ll spam cavalry and Long bowmen, and is so funny to just destroy Jerusalem with castle spam , and having them full with arquebusiers
TC means faster vill production and replenish, especially when u want some vills in frontline to help with the building and repair stuff, and economic boom, further more,use tc as a castle when vill being attacked, safe place to hide, 100 stones is cheaper than 650stones in early games.
I found this easier than the other missions actually. Built 3 tcs and houses right at the beginning and created a ton of halbs and hand cannoneers. Survived the initial assult by putting 3 castles in front of my base. Then I just flattened damascus, ignored saladin and punched a hole through to Jerusalem. Didn't give a shit about saving richard the lionheart, and for some reason they never attacked my unprotected gold mining operates in the desert. If I had to do it again I would probably go halb+cavalier because the onagers would always flatten my hand cannoneers. I'd also probably try cheesing it by walling off their gates and using onagers to attack ground damascus's castle and tcs before they turned enemy.
My way of beating this level was to send vills to build a castle inside of Damascus's walls next to the gold and stone. They couldn't get resources so it was easy to finish them off. The rest of the level took me a while though
I have a feeling we played this different since I've got some tips and strats I've been doing most of them solo but still coming back when I finish one to see in comparison. ⚔️
Completed in 75 pop in HD! - no speedrun. 1. Enter Damascus 2. Build 2 Castles beside their castle. 3. Wall up the Saracens Eastern Gate, just build multiple layer walls. 4. Build Rams and Petards and put beside Damascus castle. 5. Once Saracens & Damascus became enemy, immediately blow down Damascus castle and their Town Center. 6. Then slowly farm... build skirmishers, convert remaining war elephants of Damascus. 7. By this time, you should be strong enough to attack the Eastern Part of Saracens 8. remove your walls and unleash the horde into Saracens. 9. Finish off the Western part of Saracens once Eastern part is done.
I wonder if the starting alliance gimmick of the map is what gave you so much trouble getting conversions. Since you start allied to everyone except Jerusalem, I'm guessing Damascus was getting to enjoy using your teuton team bonus against you.
I just beat this and MAN i was nearly doomed at the end. Fighting through yellow's base with his war elephants and marcro god archer army was extremely painful and annoying. Wasted all my troops after the fight was over and all i had left was like 10-15 skirmishers and pikemen along with a couple teuton knights, horse knights, 2 bombard cannons and 2 treebuchets. I had no wood or gold to make any siege weapons or more troops so i had to sneak past the 2 towers guarding the dome of rock by breaking the walls near bottom to the right. It really was a close call
I love this level. Check that, I love this entire campaign. I always make sure to eliminate Damascus and Saladin because it makes for a lot of fun, hard difficulty, of course, so the stream of Elite War Elephants, Paladins, Onagers, and Trebuchets from Damascus is unending and the Saracen army of Saladin gives you the perfect excuse to use Elite Teutonic Knights since Mamelukes can barely scratch them... Siege Onagers on the other hand...
I just deployed the best strategy and beat this on hard to earn gold. All I had to do was immediately wall off the 3 gates from the outside and build two castles at the two gates to the lower right, then I upgraded the castles and the elephants are stuck inside the walls and you destroy everything easily. Build a market and trade carts and mine all the gold and stone and trade with the ally and win
conquiste o mapa em 15 minutos ou menos 1. com todos os aldeoes, construa universidade e pesquise alquimia. 2. enquanto isso, selecione militares (ctrl+1) emperador (ctrl+2) e uns 80% dos aldeos (ctrl+3) 3. mande todos, exceto os 20% dos aldeos, para damasco, canto esquerdo, atras da floresta 4. enquanto isso mande os 20% de aldeoes que ficaram construirem 10 casas 5. mande os aldeos construir oficina de cerco apos passar pelo portao de damasco 6. criar 3 canhoneiros (assim que a alquimia for pesquisada) 7. mandar o canhoneiro destruir o muro do aliado damasco 8. ao destruir o muro enviar todos descendo para o final do mapa, ao lado de jerusalem. 9, bem proxiimo da ultima torre de jerusalem construir 2 castelos (lado a lado) 10. enviar os canhoneiros atras do castelo e destruir a torre e muro 11. ao fazer os castelos guarnecer tudo, exceto os cavaleiros e o emperador, 12. Saladin vai virar inimigo 13. destrua tudo com os castelos 14. assim que jerusalem estiver perdido quase todas unidades, envie os paladinos junto com o emperador, colocando eles a frente das flechas das torres. 15. enviar ate o domo da rocha
good ol nostalgia with these campaigns lol also, Damascus would have been part of the Ayyubid Dynasty at this time, aka the Saracens lol so idk why Saladin and Damascus are different Either way, it would have Arab culture, it might have just been made Persian to add more difficulty w/the war elephants
Finally beat it on hard. The whole campaign was eazy, with the speedruning strats for the third and last mision it was ez. The only harder mision was the Lombardy League but i just got greens town and build it there so no ships from purple can atack me. And with the civ special upgrade on the range of the castles i just waled the wonder and spamed teutons on the endles waves of enemies that were coming. It was nice trowback to the old days when i played this game, but still Atila was a lot harder:)
the Lombard League is the only somewhat difficult mission on barbarossa's campaign, I beat it by getting rid of green as soon as possible, and then moving nearly all my villagers to green's base, building my own gate's in place of green, and immediatelly building the wonder.
I played the 1999 version game I was 4 back then I used to steal longbowmen by declaring war and stealing them with monks apparently they didn't attack me I did that Because I used to love longbowmen sooo much now I'm 15 and I still play this game and ee too
i got so much frustrated in this mission, just played on Moderate mode and...10 mins to prepare, 3 or 4 minutes they attacked 1 times, didn't give me enough time to breathe, fucking hell man....
I remember there is a speedrun way to complete it where you build a castle, research sappers, send all your villies forward with the cart as far as possible, you wall behind, betray green and yellow, break the wall and then all left is to use your peasants as meatshields for the cart 11. I wonder if they changed trigger to make it not doable anymore.
@@inconemay1441 They will, but if you wall behind you you can buy yourself some time. As of Jerusalem sacrificing your villies should still be enough since the AI usually doesn't know that there is only 1 particular unit that it must kill.
@@theowlogram888 It definitely worked in HD. Only problem is pathfinding once you reach Jerusalem but that is AOE in general. Not sure if it still works now with DE Jerusalem keep spamming more than just monks. It's like speedrunning Pope and Antipope but you have more tools to breach through the enemy walls.
Yea I have a of e classic a d having trouble finding a quick route Build a mega town with castles and the cart enter age got stuck far out and died How do you turn this on time
i just cant fucking punch through these wall tending to damn onager spam with knights while protecting monks which is def a favorite targets of the ai. not talking about elephants being raised by the thousands where does it end ?
I kid you not, the emperor turned himself into a pickle. Saddest shit I have ever seen
Lol
im pickle rick!!

"They just converted my bombard tower into dust" - AoE logic
last week i finished barbarossa's campaign, and i loved that little surprise that the narrator was Henry all along lmao
He was a fucking traitor
@@deonath.chourasia actually no.
He betrayed first time.
He actually didn't betrayed against lombard campaign.
The other germanic princes plotted against him during that campaign.
you can find it on wikipedia
@@SuperSanic.. myabe i just took the referencing all the way from aoe, cheers tho!
I remember 10 years ago Barbarossa was my first campaign after William Wallace. I was 11 back then. It's one of the sweetest stories...
Same feelings
I really like that they made Richard an actual ally with an economy. Its a nice distraction and if you help them their longbows are actually badass against Saladin
you flattened Jerusalem! This was what Saladin was warning about the Crusaders
I finished this mission in 7 minutes. Before the Saracens attack me, I built 2 castles as close as possible to Jerusalem then declared war to yellow to destroy their wall with petards, and did the same on the walls of Jerusalem.

And then you woke up😂
@@eugenenechayev6758 try this strategy and see if you are dreaming

its hard enough with 150 pop. with just 75 pop castles become nearly invincible
29:03 Saladin monks are literally Thanos
How did you destroy the fence? At 3:05 you destroyed the fence to release the sheep. I can't figure out how it is done
Fascinating... He loses so much shit but couldn't care less because of his economy... I just couldn't bear to see my army die like that :(

Question: why do you build so many t.c's when you can build much cheaper camps? Isn't it resource expensive?
booming technique, just to get more villagers

Come across this vid after accidentally "speedrun" this one, ramming through the wall by capped ram prepared when treaty time is still on lol

I tried to wipe out Saladin for the fun of it but it was fucking impossible
It is possible. Castles + Skirms was my choice :)
I remember that to win this scenario in the age of kings i converted one hundred elephants and than launched then to attack.

This is actually a pretty solid strategy.
is building multi barracks or stables increase the speed of making units ?
No,it just let you cue up more units
Haven’t tried it yet, but wondering how 2 forward castles (built right outside yellow base) would go.
Always enjoyed this mission.

etk vs. mameluke is like the immortal snail. Mameluke can keep running, but the etk will keep on chasing him forever
Completed this on hard today while 15 second of the initial timer before enemies turn on you remaining
I just beat this and MAN i was nearly doomed at the end. Fighting through yellow's base with his war elephants and marcro god archer army was extremely painful and annoying.

Is Teutons campaign the hardest?
Not at all. Even among the original Age of King campaigns, I think it is 3rd to the Genghis Khan and Saladin campaigns

when some monks make you question your religion so you just crumble into dust
You fought really well with the Teutons in the desert of the Holy Land, Ornlu.
Deus Vult!
I managed to wall in the enemy within the first 10 minutes ^^
How did you knock down the wall to release the sheep?
press Delete on your keyboard and it deletes units, you can use it to kill your own units if you run out of pop space
I was spamming an ass load of skirmishers to fight of Saladin.
Did it work?
@@deonath.chourasia Yes, had a bunch of archery ranges mass producing them like crazy,..worked quiet well
@@admiralterrinaldscreed2591 damn bruh
Joan of Arc in a barrel
I build 2 castles in Damascus and 2 walls outside Saracens base so the can't get to my base.
Yes, well it tried this this evening and on my way to the dome of the rock my emperor in a barrel got killed by a cav archer from green... :(

probably the most hated mission in the whole original campaigns

First.
