Me vs The universe. I actually didn't believe it at first but this is the hardest mission in the game by far. Mission 41 and 48 are kinda annoying but they're not as hard as this one imo. So anyway about the strategy:
The main thing here is the tower placement and the moat, you can buy 15 crossbows and leathers and put them on top of your tower + 2 balistas just in case they get a catapult up. Use the lord to take care of any slave run by or the pikemen who managed to survive the crossbow shots (You don't want them to get to your tower or important buildings) Once you get to a high number of crossbowmen (60 or 70) Then it becomes a waiting game and this is where the mission becomes boring, lol.
You can speed it up by making a tower near mines, note that this is where Nizar rallies his assassins before attacking your castle so proceed with caution.
The only thing left to say is Wolf's castle, As you can see it took me a while to take it down because of the constant attacks being sent out by the other players (And also I lost a game because I rushed it so that's why I'm extra scared here lol) Once you get on top of his walls with a siege tower the game is basically over because you can kill both Wazir and Richard using Wolf's castle to your advantage.
The "TURD" has breached the wall!
Hope you enjoyed this Stronghold Crusader playthrough! Stronghold Crusader Extreme will be the next one (Don't worry it'll be a short one I promise) and then we can finally move on to 3D games! Also if you wanted to see Historical Campaign or Economical Campaign from Stronghold 1 I will get back to them once I'm done with every Stronghold game, I won't skip Stronghold 2's Economical Campaign since it's part of the story.
Mission 80. The Big One!
