By the way before commenting just make more units, I was at troop limit every time I attacked! And I didn't have enough space for more stables either

Things we learned from this : Crossbows are broken ... and so are portable shields
Maybe they will patch it.
“Maybe they will patch it” damn, not even sims continued to update their game. Firefly studios apparently moved to stronghold crusader 4 release i think.
@@jumpplay5384 not 4 but maybe 3
@@wonkaactual4313 Patch? It’s a 2002 videogame 😂
@@Tiaxzify Stronghold Unofficial patch actually could fix it.. Multiplayer is terrible cus of these broken OP units..
Imagine the amount of arrows the very first person they spot is going to get.
Remember the Chinese movie called "HERO"
yes, around 1500 arrows.
Search "american gods arrow clip"
@@charlesthethobe9300 Y'know I was an adventurer once just like u,till I took 1500 arrows in the knee...
@@tahagi7006 Yes, that's one of my favorite movies.
But is that enough arrows?
Man, no wonder the Pope wanted to outlaw crossbows
He only qoutlawed it If it we're used For Christians(catholicks) anything Else was free Game (Arabia)
@@JudenBrenen I think you mean "against christians"
The first seven minutes of this video played out like an old-school Looney Toons episode, but 7:34 felt like busting a hornets nest and seeing how many bugs were actually inside.
Must be some kind of a masochist using swordsman vs crossbow instead of pikes
Pikes would be my natural response too, considering they take a hell of a lot of crossbow bolts and move at a decent speed for their armoured nature. Plus some knights after them maybe.
Horse archers would also be okay to at least lay down some fire.
Though rams were initially a decent response and technically one can also use siege towers as a distraction.
Yeah was too lazy to make pikemen's production buildings, so I didn't bother making them
@@Jefflenious make units by using production when you have 100k gold?
*10k+
I like to imagine some chad medieval king refusing to use ranged siege equipment charging forts and castles with shields and rams much to the garrison's bewilderment
A full length episode satisfies everyone.
Man, troop limit is so annoying in every Stronghold game.
You can still make thousands. Have you seen the troop limit in age of empires 😅
Espesially in latest SH games.
@@funnyclips1189 You cant even make hundreds let alone thousands in AOE
@@mamory3791 you can make 200 but 20-30 are just workers and the rest are troops. But yeah this is way low compared to stronghold.
@@funnyclips1189 True but that is not satisfying at all, a max of 1000 is still not good enough for any rts in my opinion.
You should use range bug. Manual shooting adds +1-2 range comparing to automatic. This is the only way to beat SH original Pig`s castle on max. difficulty with 0 casualities.
Pretty sure that's fixed on latest patches though, or at least you can't do that against towers/walls anymore
Also didn't want to abuse bugs or anything, wanted to brute force it!
Incredible how much power an immense number of crossbowmen can have. They are without a doubt the best defence soldiers in the game!
Among non siege troops pikemen tanks the most amount of xbow shots. Probably mixing them in with knights would be better than swords and knights. Also did you try adding maximum positive fear factor?
No I didn't! Fear factor only gives damage boost so I thought I had a much bigger problem here
You're right about pikemen though, I was too lazy to switch every production building to pikes, so I didn't bother
@@Jefflenious Ah fair fair. Yeah closing the distance is the bigger problem, 25% more damage does nothing if they aren't attacking.
@@Jefflenious damage ? Are u sure ? Im pretty sure it boost the health instead of damage.
@@gardayustisia4528 yes only damage
Thing is their leather armor is not even that significant, it's their crossbows that make them OP. I would reduce their range tbh.
Crossbows actually shoot less further than bows. I would do this in the game for balance. And at the same time, I would make european archers with longbows shoot a little further than arabian archers, its for balance too
They actually did that in SH2 and it was a great change TBH
@@user-nx4wj6zy1u no they dont
You probably could have done it with the knights if you hotkeyed them in smaller groups so they didn't just stand around and get shot at
I knew it would be shields. I wonder what would be the minimum force - -200 shields and 300 crossbowmen?
That's weird that I guessed Shields would be a part of the final push
Angry tebucher noises
why you didn't use pikemen? they can tank projectiles better than swordsmen right
why you dont use miners insted crossbows at the end?
Jeff can you do some clips of AI lords and there favorite units and the
Units they use in battle
Tunnelers: Easy!!!
Lmao joke's on u tunnelers literally have 0 effect on square and round towers(they're immune to them):Tunnelers can only destroy the smaller towers,but not the ones that can house ballistas and mangonels. That's why Jeffle didn't even bother to say"no tunnelers allowed":Because he actually knows things about this game unlike urself who's obviously never played it in ur life lol
@@Ugh718 Слава Україні
@@Ugh718 calm down kid
Cows. Once the tower was destroyed, catapult cows into the masses of crossbowmen
As the title say, no catapults/trebuchets. Otherwise this video would make 0 sense
Why you did not use diggers?
I hate it when genie says Humiliated! XD
Personally would have drowned them in spearmen and slaves, then the battering ram batallion follows.
After the tower is destroyed, even more spearmen and slaves screening for a mob of macemen.
ITS A ROUT
Samurai Jack and the Three Blind Archers
but cant you just outrange them with european archers on tall towers?
"HUMILLIATED!"
Good video
IMO you should have used Pikemen instead of sowrdsmen. They are faster, more resistant to crossbow fire, and do more damage to buildings. I was surprised you didn't use them. The end result wouldn't probably change much though
catapult ready sir
Plz tell me how to make portable shield faster while playing online crusader
if the AI rushed with his crossbows on the ground You would have lost lol
at that point in a real game you just gotta go the starve-by-seige route
It we're ez If you get full pikeman with+5 good things ❤
Ok now do it when the crossbows have max positive bonus from fear factor, have fun.
lol trabuchet.... :D
What about tunnellers?
Tunnelers. Then just roll over them with either mounted knights or assassins *shrug*
You only forbid the use of catapults, mangonels, trebs and ballistas. So i'd go with tunnelers. Eventually cover them under siege shields. They tunneler only has to survive until he dug into the hole. After that he's kind of invincible down there. Once the tower is gone Mounted Knights or Macemen (easier to produce than MK's as you don't need stables, thus less space and they are fast) or assassins (invisible until they got considerably close). Eventually flush in a good chunk slaves as baits.
I have tunnelers which you did not ban and i guess micromanaging horse archers
No tunnelers?
باستخدام النجنيقات يمكنك قتلهم 🌝
You are op play
What about tunnellers tunnel spam :D
Yeah forgot to say that's not allowed either!
@@Jefflenious But square towers are immune to tunnelers tho... Crystal Dwarf obviously doesn't know how to play the game lol
*_LAUGHS IN ASSASSINS/SIEGE TOWERS WITH MACEMEN._*
Probably either one of those would work lol.
Also u didn't say anything about not using rams XD
Only shields were able to withstand the crossbow fire! And yeah rams are technically melee units so no restrictions here, I just didn't want to outrange them that would be boring
Hallo i love this game...maybe you can play with me a game....
How about tunnelers and Then the Quick attack?
Don't remember trying it, but you see closing up the distance was the biggest challenge!
Nerf Crosbowmen 😄
i despise portable sheilds and everyone i play with always uses them
Well, its the obvious solution against archers/x-bows, so why wouldnt you use them?
wtf... This is hard lmao, glad to see that enemy lords don't spam crossbowmen that often, they have thse, but like they don't have more than 500
So thats why the crossbow was illegal in the medieval europe
how can i make the game speed at 500?
UCP its a modding tool you can download
If you can't beat them join them
Catapults: WTF?
You don't use an autoclicker? My fingers would hurt
Nope, the ones I have don't work properly in Stronghold!
@@Jefflenious If you have a Logitech keyboard like the G710 you can make one work, mine does
@@Jefflenious the german CZcamsr Udwin found one. He made a Video
@@Jefflenious Write yourself a simple .ahk script, I liked mine to spam-click when caps-lock is on.
and ppl ALWAYS say horse archers best xbows any day. sure, cuz mobility, only. NOTHING BEATS THE SHEER POWER OF XBOWS!!!!! not even European armor!!!! they had 2 make em fire slow 2 balance. 1 shot no armor, 3 shot leather, Arab armor. what can archers do? 3 shot a spear and 5 an archer? Buff xbow +1 n even Arab archer dies in 1. Y USE ARCHERS?????
used OP shields, does not count
Я для которого эта задача изначально решалась одной катапультой
i think you should have just used macemen
Yeah, that would absolutely... not work at all! xD
Macemen are not faster than knights, deal less damage, and die like 8x faster than knights vs crossbow bolts. You saw how 300 knights got absolutely massacred? That's the equivalent of like 2400 macemen going down at the same time.
