    My personal tactic against every lords is to have both Macemen and Horsemen Archers to do a frontal attack in order to divert the attention of the enemy's Bowmen, Arabian Bowmen, Crossbowmen, Mangonels, and/or Tower Ballistas (we'll call them Defensive Ranged Units for simplicity) while having Assassins infiltrate the castle and open the gate, allowing what remains of the Macemen to enter the enemy lord's castle. Even if the Assassins are found out, the Horsemen Archers can take out the enemy's Defensive Ranged Units, while the Macemen can quickly tear down the castle walls without having to worry about the enemy's Defensive Ranged Units. While this works on most lords, I sometimes have to improvise if I'm against certain lords. Nizar is the only lord in which this tactic simply wouldn't work. Thus, employing Spearmen, Pikemen, and Horsemen Archers (sometimes along with Fire Ballista) would be my tactic against him.

I have spent a long, CONSIDERABLE amount of time in both castle builder and skirmish mode to try and come up with a unique castle without constructing lionhearts square castle, wolfs 2-edged tower castle, or even resorting to the lifeless "spam towers and xbowmen" design. Its pretty hard, so props to the original creators/designers who made something, unique, effective and hazardous at the same time.

    1:15 Lookout towers actually provide less "dodge chance" than square and round towers, although the difference isn't that big. Their tiny diameter is probably what makes units survive annoyingly long, since arrows that miss their intended targets may still accidentally hit other targets which happens a lot more on crowded larger towers.

    For me, Nizar is the most difficult lord to siege. Every other AI lord can be just overrun with mass arabain arches, but if you attempt to clear this fella's defences with horses, you will lose many to traps and if you didn't expect this, you will have to retreat before the siege could take any significant effect. Then, when the archers are cleared, you can send in some troops to clear the motes. Alternatively, you can try to pass through the gates, but the maze Nizar builds is filled with traps, that means even more casualties if you attempt to play by his rules. Even when you're finally in, there are 60 invisible assassins waiting for your unsuspecting army Hhhhh, so annoying The cleanest way I've found to beat Nizar is by tearing down his turrets using siege weapons, then cleaing up remaining ranged units with horses, setting his castle on fire with fire balistas whilr bombarding the keep with arrows - this will clean all assassins, economy and firefighters, so now you just have to get through the traps and moats I agree that multiple mangonels are annoying, but you can still overrun them with sheer brute force and then send assassins to do their thing - fast and simple

    the best defense "castel" depends on the economy imo, the wolf with 40k gold start will always result in a strong defense, also he can quickly repair the dmg of material and units. if he starts with 8k or 10k you can rather easly run him down early because he wastes his gold on empthy stone with no units. saladin is another annyoing lord with sucha good economy that he can print his units, esp. a stack of flame throwers thats lights up the area around the fire pit is and the billlions of arabian swords man and archers makes it quite hard to run him down.

    Castle #2 is build in the campaign, when you have to fight all 4 dukes. It was sooo hard for me to attack, as i could not use iron or stonemines close to his castle and it took ages to get troops. The only mistake of this castle is the connection of the lower front wall with the gates. I managed to capture the outer walls by using a siege tower and sending macemen around. There was still heavy fire from his keep raining down on them, so i had to follow up with a combo of Crossbowmen and shields stationed on the outer ring. When the defenders were dead i could dig out the rest and attack.

    Two things, the butterfly caste is awesome in its own way because it looks like an angry looking face (like the wolf. The most makes his eyes). Even though it's actually only strong in forward direction like most of his castles, I love it. Second: due to lack of walls and siege equipment, the nizar is extraordinary vulnerable to fire ballistas and catapults. He can be a pain, but this way it's only because of the assassin's when he attacks, not because of his castle.

    Saladin is actually fairly easy to defeat if you target his weaknesses... ironically, the key to that is to unleash your inner Caliph, as most of Saladin's castles are really prone to burning down completely once they catch fire, alongside and troops and workers moving around in it on the ground. When his economy lays in burnt ruins so he cannot spam troops, a siege tower and some macemen are enough to overrun him quite nicely.

    wolf's castles suffer from map placement - very easy to mess him up if placed somewhere at the edge of the map so that a huge chunk of one of the big castles doesn't fit or blocks some path, thus ruining his economy. In any case - any of these can be dealt with easily with the help of the mongol horse archer army. 150-200 usually does the trick. Even with mangonels.

    With the unofficial user patch, you can look into all the so called aiv files mentioned in the video. Each lord has 8 aiv files and thus 8 types of castles. Stronghold 1 did not have aiv files, so they probably aren't the inspiration. The design does not seem random either. Maybe some are based on real world examples, but many look like they were a creative drawing (Snakes S-castle) or just a square or circle. I suppose that most of them were just handcrafted castles that suit the AIs personality. The Aiv editor allows you to produce very nice castles yourself.

    Wolf's "front" side of the castle is actually not its front side, its the back side and yes he put more defence at the back than front. Especially the mass square tower one, i think some version of it doesnt even has gate at the back between the 4 square towers

    how to deal every wolf castle is attacking his economy in early game, if the castle is big,he need more time to build, use asassin to sneak his economy, in late game use massive horse archer to destroy his defense,catapult useless because his castle has thock walls

    Best castle is 5 towers filled with archers and removed stairs behind them (you cant limb into tower anymore) it beats any AI siege attempt easily since there is no walls to scale they dont even unpack their siege machines near towers. Spice things up with a mote around towers and little wall around ur king for bait and extra protection purposes.

    a few trebuchets behind a wall near the towers is great for siege engine defence or throw a cow in the path of a massed enemy. also xbows instead of archers, way more effective especially against armor troops

    Castle designs where the tower is replacing the wall isnt that great in my opinion, as its a big target that you can focus down more easily. However the saladin castle designs, where the towers are kind of separate and the wall simply connects to them are much more difficult to deal with. However it has the issue that the gate is still an easy breach point. The wolfs castle with the water bridge gate with multiple layers are very hard to deal with efficiently. Its not even just killing the enemy units. Just the effort to gonthrough multiple, thick layers of walls, and theres water and traps surrounding it, it takes a lot time and multiple types of units to get through. He has the issue that it takes a while to build, but if you cant deal with him early, its quite a hard encounter. The kaliphs castles are annoying for melee units, but if you get a few catapults, you can very quickly dismantle half his castle. Its just too weak. If only it didnt have the towers replacing the wall, or at least it was surrounded with more walls so they were harder to deal with. Could become so much harder with a little more investment

    @@tschabow5608 Yep. I will either use a simple box to protect my core buildings, and then place lookout towers and sometimes some sqr towers farther out away from my castle to do all the killing. Its way cheaper economically, and gets the job done. I might eventually expand my walls out towards the build distance limit once my economy is stable so I can expand and protect my expanded economy easier, but mostly I try to use the maps design to just wall off chokes if possible. You can also use a wall of all towers if you want to prevent any wall scaling and get additional siege defense equipment, or a moat if you want a cheaper option. But I almost never really find this necessary. A lookout tower with like 20 fire archers crammed into it does a lot of work at taking out most early game forces while being very cost effective, and you can expand your defenses after that. I personally really like to abuse fire ballista because of their range. Since they can either outrange or have even range with anything attacking you, it can allow you to defend with very minimal damage taken saving gold. Just spam a ton of fire ballista for defensive purposes and then once you have a ton of them just utilize them offensively (albeit slowly) to widdle down enemy units on towers. If you mix in some crossbows or archers into you ballista ball and maybe some shields if youre going against a other ballista on towers, its practically impossible for the AI to beat you back. Then you just contain the opponent and dry out their funds by essentially spawn camping their firepit and setting fire to their castle over and over with your ballista, or just send a melee force in once the walls are cleaned up to slay the lord. Getting a squad of catapults will be nice if the enemy has a thick wall, plus it makes things go faster.

    This dude has obviously never heard of killing zones if he really thinks that a wolf's castle is "weak from the front". Plus it's like he thinks those ends would be facing the enemy instead of the edge of the map. Unlike a "normal" player noffs game, AIs use fire no matter what so its like he thinks that as soon his walls go down that it's over. Like nah u still gotta make it to the keep. And if this was Sh1 Wolf, he would have pitch ditches inside of his castle too 💀
