actually it's most viable against wolf, because AIs won't commit to a full on attack unless their castle is complete and secured and wolf takes really long to complete his.
03:42 "Bruh, I'll finish you myself" :D Actually, this Wolf helped you a lot with his castle. Even with defensive tactics this castle could be permanently sieged by mangonels and crossbowmen, while you doing other buisness.
10:15 Actually, no. I imagine it to be a bard singing in a tavern about a courageous lord (you) vanquishing 6 others one by one in brutal combat, the story greatly embellished and larger than it really was, but great fun for the bard's audiences nonetheless.
Impressive. I love this community. Nice tactic to basically go with the Lord where your army is lol Btw, the death date is a common glitch, I got it several times myself, it happens more often when your Lord takes a lot of damage.
So I’m a cautious person right Rarely attack with my lord cuz I’m too worried about losing I only do so when I have no choice or know I’ll win the fight So using your lord in the heat of battle is a real chad move
i build an aggressive tower in the beginning in most games, along with buying weapons early to recruit 10-30 crossbowmen and a siege weapon to man that tower. Thats when i always position my lord at the bottom of the stairs to the tower in order to prevent the enemy forces rushing the men on the tower. Pair this with a single fire throwing mercenary on the top of those stairs and this can withstand all attempts of storming it until your production reaches the level of producing capable melee troops, if youre not able to build a cathedral early that gives you access to monks.
@@Maultaschtyrann idk about this game cuz I haven’t played it in a long time But my strategy in stronghold 2 is to focus heavily on defense to tax tf outta my peasants Then I build up around 20 knights and 50 swordsman, depending on the defenses of the castle I’ll bring archers or crossbows if necessary tho I usually opt for archers because they’re faster Then for siege weaponry I’m pretty basic if I can get away with using only a platoon of laddermen I’m gonna do that Otherwise I’ll bring catapults Swordsmen act as a distraction while I get the ladders up and as soon as they are the mounted knights charge in towards the wall, immediately dismount, and scale the walls If I’m feeling cocky I’ll bring my lord as part of that charge and deal with the resistance in the keep If there’s ballistas I separate my swordsman into 2 groups, have them scale the towers and take out the ballistas and stand guard Once resistance in the keep is dealt with I have my lord 1v1 and that usually grants a victory Balancing in 2 is alot different than crusader tho I know that
@@Maultaschtyrann I think if I remember right I was very sloppy but it was relatively the same Defense focused, ton of swordsmen, and that’s it so long as strong walls weren’t enabled If they were catapults galore
Already tried that with krarilotus updated wolves? I did. I even made an AI to beat the 5 top AIs 1 v 5. Heck that took long, unless 100% deff recruit first it ain't hold
I've always wanted to ask about your engineers, how do you built multiple shields or catapults without click the build icon one by one? like in the video you can select 10 engineers and build 10 shields. When I do it I have to select 10 engineers, click shield and place 1 on the ground and repeat that 10 times.
yeah like the guys here wrote, download the unofficial crusader patch. Makes the game a whole lot better (stuff like extremely needed bugfixes, using WASD, additional time/speed modes and much more)
Honestly though, always using shields and horse archers is no honorable way to fight, especially considering the fact that the Ai never uses shields, and horse archers only to a moderate degree. A patch should be made to balance some of the units A LOT more..
Ahhh, if just some patch like that already existed.... Oh wait, it does! We already have Rebalance on its way and you can play Rebalanced Multiplayer already. Check Jeffs newest video :D
For making infinite archers/crossbowmen/slingshots on any tower, you can place a single wall in the opposite of where your stairs are and click on that single wall as their destination. You can do this over and over and have a stupid mass of projectile soldiers on one tower, making it impossible for your e enemies to bypass them or get near them. Idk if you knew that or not, I didn't see anyone does it. whenever my enemies are so brutally strong and aggressive, I use this method.
So today I played solo vs a team of 6 wolves on that same map, in that pesky central spot, 3k vs 40k. Wasn't really that challenging with sound rush tactics. Thirty macemen pretty quickly took down the closest pup before even he got to do anything and also looted his keep for about 9k gold. Then it was a matter of spamming units at the second (top right) and third (far right) puppy. With a mixture of skill and luck my attacks got through their defences and then it was only a matter of slowly building up my economy in the northern frontiers and grinding down the bottom right wolfy. The two wolfs on the bottom left tragically overlapped their castles making them completelly cut off from the rest of the map and useless. Overall a fun challenge, but I think 2k vs 8k would have been much harder to beat.
Honestly I would just rush one of the wolves, get one less enemy and more money. Rushing is, surprisingly, a great strat, especially when you're doing UCP with some harder AI. Especially when you're doing no magic bar in Extreme.
@@tracexcze5408 did you ever rush? You can kill the lord before he places his castle walls and hires plenty of ranged units. Early into the game it's usually enough for 30-40 assassin/macemen to kill almost any lord (depends on how far away they are).
@@tracexcze5408 you could've just said that you never rushed. What you're saying just makes no sense because if we're talking about this exact scenario: your enemies won't have enough gold to pressure you this fast even with UCP's improved AI and economy, also their first attack is never huge, that's just how the game works. And you don't even need to spend all of your gold to rush in this exact scenario. Usually you need 30-40 troops of said type to kill in a really unpleasant situation. The territorial and pressure advantage you get is enormous. And if we're talking overall - you're just blatantly wrong. Even on missions like "Big One" enemies NEVER rush you that fast even with 40k gold and you can indeed rush Caliph that is pretty far away.
@@tracexcze5408 first of all, pretty low of going personal, not that it supports your position either. Secondly, I literally stated why your argument is flawed and has zero relevance with how Stronghold is played vs AI. *who dont have just a bit of my experience* This is not a solid thesis, just bragging. Admittedly it's funny, because I've actually done many different runs in Stronghold Crusader on UCP maximum difficulty AI, with stuff like disabled magic bar in Extreme too, so I'm literally one of the worst people you can brag about your "experience" to. *like some woman* And you're also a sexist, who would've knew.
This was amazing. At the beginning I was in awe as you attacked with and moved the lord. The beginning was seriously genius, like an advanced chess match or science.
Jeff, can you make a video and how to stack mass army of archers on a single tower. where there can only 40 - 50 units can settle at a single time. I just make 2 3 groups of 40+ units and then send them at tower at the same time. But is there any way to send all of them to settle up without making a group or so.
A question: you're using UCP. What's your setting on AI lord attack target? I set it to attack the closest enemy (silly when they walk past an enemy castle) but I don't know if that's the most efficient setting.
How did you move your production? cant you only build storage onto more storage? Or did you just build your way there and then destroyed everything on the way towards there?
would unsurprisingly be more frustrating. weak army aside, caliph targets your economy before your walls and he usually charges in after burning your resource buildings twice.
I love the beginning, like “well if I can’t build my own towers I’ll just take yours”
uHAuHAuhAu i love
😂😂😂
"Agreed"
later in the video it was like " if i cant have my place ill take yours"
Exactly 😂😂😂
4:25 Wolf's army chasing the Lord is more suspenseful than any horror game I swear :D
when they're so close to me, i usually find that spamming mangonels at them to ruin their economy is the best tactic lol
i see you're a man of culture as well.
@@iDuca88 Just by playing this game we are all men of culture..
actually it's most viable against wolf, because AIs won't commit to a full on attack unless their castle is complete and secured and wolf takes really long to complete his.
Ballists are the best. Made whole campaing using mostly them. Ultimate unit.
Macemen rush to kill all his peasants and military units as they spawn, or mangonel/ballista rush to destroy his castle and burn his economy early
"i ended up moving my whole economy"
and then we get to see your lord maneuver away from a whole gank of troops.
you're insane lol xD nice job
03:42 "Bruh, I'll finish you myself" :D
Actually, this Wolf helped you a lot with his castle. Even with defensive tactics this castle could be permanently sieged by mangonels and crossbowmen, while you doing other buisness.
Oh yeah. He could have locked the wolf in his keep by putting a few units to take out the his peasants at the camp and used his castles for defense.
10:15 Actually, no. I imagine it to be a bard singing in a tavern about a courageous lord (you) vanquishing 6 others one by one in brutal combat, the story greatly embellished and larger than it really was, but great fun for the bard's audiences nonetheless.

A patch should be made to balance some of the units A LOT more..
those horses costed alot of money though
It is always going to take cheese to defeat a ton of missile units taking 33% damage on castle walls. that is like a 3:1 advantage.

the chronicles of riddick music just make this ten times better lol it sounds just like the crusader soundtrack
Stronghold 1 OST is so underrated ! Great game dude.
On top of everything else, they decided to make shields move like speedboats as well. XD What were they thinking...
They cost 5 and give units 20 times the health.. They clearly skipped the balancing part 😂
