Crazy skills

a message from your scribe... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" ... best message ever... that will teach you to frown at me when my popularity goes down the drain :D

deleting the walls was a 200 iq move

Like so many here I never would've thought of rebuilding and expanding the castle (and village) like that. I haven't tried yet but I believe that's finally gonna take me past this level (on normal lol)

You're not the only one. This mission was extreme on Normal.

1:15 Yay! I'm not the only one who places hovels as far from catle as possible!

fuck this mission..... everything went well when the fucking fire broke out... destroyed my whole economy, all bakeries, farms, weapon production, houses... everything

wow. never thought to delete them walls.

Today I managed to beat this goddamn level on "hard". I am so proud of myself! 😂

Fires in the classic stronghold games are merciless. I think firefly has exaggerated their effect enormously. I'd like to see you do the custom scenario in which you have to build a gigantic village. I sadly don't know what the english title is (I have another language version of SH). Roughly translates to "Flourishing city", or something along those lines. Hopefully you know which one I mean :)

im sure you thought for a minuet there that the ox could speed up the iron process , as did i , would of been a game changer right!!

i tried all day to beat it on normal lol

Never thought of deleting the walls and turrets. Plus bandits and wolves always attack me it gives me anxiety. 😂

im here because this level is cheating. Half my village burnt down then 5 second later, Bandits, then after that, wolves then another fire.

thank you

This level in the new DE was nightmare fuel for me... took 5 or so attempts. By the end my castle looked similar to yours... except everything was built on completely scorched land. When buildings started on fire I ended up just deleting them because there was often no way to put the fires out, even with like 10+ wells. They just spread too quickly.

@LordBalder

7 ай бұрын

Yeah, fire has always been a problem in Stronghold! You need to have those big spaces between buildings or building areas to limit the fire spreading and enough wells to put it out quickly. 10+ wells might sound a lot to you, but thats a really low number, atleast when you build your buildings close to each other! I just checked: out of my 120 peasants, around 40 were sitting at wells, so that makes 1 well for every 2 buildings!

@@LordBalder No kidding, fire is insanely strong. The funny thing is if you're playing through the campaigns sequentially, combat and then the economic one, this is really the first level where you have to fight fires, so you really don't get much of a warning if you're new to the game! A real trial by fire.... hah.

Everytime that I'm struggling with something i look it up on your channel ahahaha. I've noticed in the beggining of most missions you change the game speed to either low or high. Does that also effect events like time until defeat, the bandits appearance or wolves?

This mission is indeed challenging. You should place your woodcutters a little bit outside of the forest rather than inside so that only the single hut burns down. The important buildings should be protected by wells from the beginning, you have the gold to build them! And in general, place your buildings several tiles apart from each other to prevent the fire spreading. For your protection, you need the middle tower, the small one is not tough enough, and you have to repare it after each wave... Besides that, you can watch me finish this mission on easy difficulty in my speedrun in 4:35 min :-D

The irony is that on Easy the bad events occur faster than on Very Hard. I never got any Outlaws on Easy, mostly bandits.

This very difficulty is the same as easy on the new strong hold. I played on hard and the people eat up all my food with that on +4 with me building 10 apple orchards, 8 cows farm, and 8 wheat fields. The population of 125 people.

So basically put a fuck tonne of wells around and a tower at the signpost.

Please help. I dont understand, no matter how soon i build all 6 possible iron mines i can never produce enough iron to manufacture 80 maces... There is literally nothing else i can do, i cant build a market, i can't build torture engines and there is no space for more mines, how can i speed up iron production? Do i have to jam my stockpile in the middle of the mines? Its the only thing i haven tried yet. The maximum maces i was able to build was 60 out of the 80 needed, i have not trained a single macemen. Wat do?

@LordBalder

6 жыл бұрын

Hmm, what exactly is as soon as possible for you? In my video, I built 8 mines in Feb 91 and finished producing maces in Feb 98. In addition to that, I just tested with only 2 mines right at the start and got 60 iron out of that, so your 6 mines should be more than enough! Besides that, I can only think of obvious reasons: full storage, full armory or not enough blacksmiths...

Lord Balder I did it, i beat the level! I got 20410 score, i finished 38 Months Early. I used wells to remove the stones around the iron mines and managed to build 8 total. I also built them earlier, starting right in the first month and finishing them within the first 2 years. I was also more careful with the population, i would usually go up to 240 and now i tried to stay under 160, (I spammed a lot of workshops, which was redundant since they were limited by cows and iron, and i spammed a lot of wells, which i found them to be quite useless since the surrounding fires would spread to the freshly put out fires and burn the watchers, so the fire would never end, instead i just demolished burning buildings right away, preventing them to spread the fire) This smaller population was much less food consuming. I also reduced the size of the castle, and built many more ox tethers, (before i used to build 3 per quarry, now i bulit 5 instead) which helped with the stone. Thank you for your help, it was the small push i needed to beat this.

I collected a few extra ressources until I finally finished the castle, and by that I mean I cut down every tree on the map and built a good economy out of it. I needed to be lucky with the fires though but after a sufficient amount of reloads the fire would eventually catch one of the few favorable building protected by wells.

pure stress
