I. Introduction
*****************************************************************************
I started playing Stronghold soon after it was released, at a store I looked
at the back of the game and thought it looked like a pretty sweet game and
of course I was right so I bought it and beat the game fairly quickly(That's
the only downfall to this game is the lack of longevity).
It was a pretty challenging game at the very hard level but soon figured out
a few well placed statagems and beat the game over and over. I recommend for
first time players of the game to not play this game on hard or very hard,
play it on easy or at most on normal just to get the feel of the game and
build your skills on the game.
If you are having troubles beating this game then this FAQ Walkthrough will
definitly will help you out of those hard fought missions, or if you just
need alittle push to get going on some of the many other missions then it's
for you as well.
This FAQ Walkthrough is based on stategies used on the very hard level and
thus this is a very hard level FAQ Walkthrough, if you are playing on an
easier level then this guide will still work for you but just you will be
over prepared for your oncoming attacks and missions.
*****************************************************************************
II. Playing The Game
*****************************************************************************
A. - Combat Based Games
The combat based games have four different options to choose from, these are
the four different options you may choose from and the strategies I offer:
*****************************************************************************
1. Playing The Military Campaign
The military campaign is the main focus to the game and is the funnest part
about stronghold, it has 21 different missions to it and I will explain a
good strategy to beat each mission if you need help on beating it. Here are
the 21 missions and how to beat each of them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*************************
* 1. Gathering The Lost *
*************************
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objectives : Acquire Goods - 20 Meat |
| Acquire Goods - 40 Wood |
| |
| We need you to oversee the setting up of a good-sized base camp. Start by |
| finding a suitable clearing then use some of the wood plentiful in this |
| area to begin your construction. |
| |
| |
| New Available - Stockpile, Wood Cutter |
| Buildings - Hunters Post |
| - Hovel |
| - Granary |
| |
| New Available - None |
| Troops |
| |
| Starting - 80 Gold |
| Goods - 25 Wood |
| - 18 Meat |
| |
| Starting - None |
| Troops |

| |
| - This is as simple as it gets in the game, start by putting your keep |
| down just about anywhere but for a faster beat put it near the bottom |
| near the trees. Next put your granary near by to your keep, then build 3 |
| or so wood cutters and 3 or so hunter posts. When your lumberjacks bring |
| back some wood make a few more wood cutters and hunter posts and soon |
| enough you will achieve victory. |
| |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
***********************
* 2. Fishing The Fort *
***********************
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objectives : Acquire Goods - 35 Meat |
| Complete Castle |
| |
| To ensure the saftey of your men, you are required to renovate the |
| abandoned stockade before winter is upon us again. Use your archers to |
| kill off any wolves that threaten your peasants. |
| |
| |
| New Available - Wooden Wall, Small Wooden Gatehouse |
| Buildings |

O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |

| | Stratagy | |
| o----------o |
| |
| - Start by placing your granary right beside your keep, next place 3 wood |
| cutters just to the left in the woodish area. Now place one hunter post |
| right beside your granary, when the lumberjacks come back with some wood |
| put down 4 or 5 more hunter posts to start getting some real meat coming |
| in. Once the meat starts coming in and you reach 35 meat finish your |
| castle off by selecting the wooden wall and connecting the two open parts |
| of your wood castle wall, if you don't have enough wood right now just |
| wait about 30 seconds for more wood to come in to finish it off. With |
| this strategy you should have victory before or as soon as the wolves |
| start coming to attack, even if it takes alittle longer your archers will |
| kill the wolves on their own, just move your all of your archers to |
| the right side of the wooden gatehouse. |
| |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****************************
* 3. Eliminating The Wolves *
*****************************
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objectives : Eradicate Wolves |
| |
| Construct a Motte and bailey fortification and strengthen it with some |
| towers. Then start bow production and raise a force of archers with which |
| to eradicate the wovles that run riot there. |
| |

| |
| - Put your keep down right in the yellow area on the map, it's the |
| yellowish hilly looking part on your screen. Place your granary just |
| above your keep on the yellow area, now put down 5 or 6 wood cutters |
| below your keep near the trees. Next put down 2 or so hunter posts |
| directly behind the granary, once you get some more wood coming in from |
| your lumberjacks put down a couple more hunter posts and then put down a |
| armory near your keep and with it 2 or so fletcher workshops. Once you |
| have 3 or 4 bows put down a barracks somewhere and create 3 or 4 archers, |
| now just have your archers attack the wolves on the left part of the map. |
| Your archers should be able to kill the wolves before they can reach and |
| attack them, repeat this with all the wolves on the left side of the map |
| and shortly after they are all dead you will obtain victory. |
| |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*************************
* 4. The hidden lookout *
*************************
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objectives : Eliminate All Units |
| |
| Find a suitable location on high ground near the lands belonging to Duc |
| De Puce and start construction of an outpost. The wooden keep will offer |
| better protection than a simple hall. Take some cattle to breed as the |
| land suits them well. Do not show yourself to the enemy, but should you |
| be discovered let none escape to tell. The hills will give your archers |
| an advantage when firing from height. |

| |
| - Build your keep near the top of the map just on the hilly part, next |
| place your granary below it a bit on the other section of yellow hilly |
| area. Now build 5 or 6 wood cutters near the trees and with the rest of |
| the wood build dairy farms on the open yellow hilled area. When you |
| recieve more wood cover the entire yellow hilled area with dairy farms |
| and right after build 2 or 3 fletcher workshops, then build your armory |
| and barracks. When a few bows are made build a small wooden gatehouse on |
| the green ground right below your keep, have it face the proper way |
| which is down to the right. Now start making your archers and send them |
| to stand on the gate, close the gate door just incase the oncoming |
| attackers will go through it and attack you... closing it will give you |
| a second or two more. Once you have about 3 or 4 archers it's likely that |
| the rats troops will come for you, they are only spearmen and will be |
| killed before they can even reach your archers. Keep building bows and |
| training archers and putting them up one the gate, soon as you have about |
| 12 archers or so your set for the mission. After a few more waves of |
| spearmen you will emerge victorious. |

**************************************
* 5. Between A Rock And A Hard Place *
**************************************
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objectives : Eliminate All Enemy Units |
| |
| Your scouts report you are trapped without enough supplies to continue or |
| enough troops to fight your way back. Your only chance is to make your |
| stand here. They have found a strong defensive position on the island in |
| a broad river and one of your lieutenants has alreay started building a |
| base. The land around the river is very fertile, use it to grow some |
| wheat. |

| |
| - This will be your first tough mission if you are playing on very hard, |
| once the mission starts place your granary behind the keep. Next build at |
| least 12 wood cutters near some trees, your gonna need alot of wood and |
| quick on this mission. Once the wood comes in start making some wheat |
| farms maybe 4 or 5 in the feilds below your little island where your keep |
| is... next build a armory close to the stockpile and 2 or so fletcher |
| workshops close to the stockpile for now, also build a barracks somewhere |
| to. When some more wood comes in build a mill close to the keep and then |
| build some bakeries close to the stockpile and your granary. When even |
| more wood comes in continue to build more wheat farms and bakeries, and |
| soon build another mill to keep up with the wheat coming in. When you |
| have a steady income of food raise the amount of food eaten to extra |
| rations and then increase the tax to +4, while this is going on you need |
| to be building archers with the bows that are being made.. place all your |
| archers on top of the keep. |
| |
| When you build your first 2 or 3 archers is likley when the rats troops |
| will attack, have your archers go for the other archers attacking your |
| archers.. you will need to use your lord here to kill off the spearmen |
| that will make their way up into the keep. When you kill off the first |
| wave of troops you will need to start mass production bows, when you have |
| enough wood make more fletcher workshops for more production of bows |
| because you will need them, now just conintue to make archers and stuff |
| them all onto the keep. After a few more waves of troops you will achieve |
| victory. |

| |
| - Place your keep close but not to close to the canyon where your archers |
| were assassinated, now like always build 10-12 wood cutters in the trees |
| area. Expand your stockpile by at least one extra square, now build a few |
| wheat farms or if you want to just stick with the easy cheese build a few |
| of them kinda close to your stockpile. When the wood comes in build 2 |
| fletcher workshops along with a armory and a barracks. When more wood |
| comes in continue to expand your food growth until you can afford to give |
| your peasants extra rations, now raise the tax to 4 and start producing |
| more and more fletcher shops for more bows. Keep training archers as the |
| bows come in and place them all on top of your keep, just keep producting |
| archers now and tossing them on the keep and your archers will wipe out |
| the rats troops... a few waves later you will succeed. |

* 7. Breaking The Siege *
*************************
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objective : Eliminate All Enemy Units |
| |
| Lord Manikin is under siege and it is vital to our cause that his county |
| does not fall. Land by boat with a company of spearmen and command his |
| garrison to victory. Success here may well spark uprisings from some of |
| the other counties. |

O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| o----------o |
| | Stratagy | |
| o----------o |
| |
| - This is gonna be the toughest misson so far if you are playing on very |
| hard, first you need to send all of your troops up onto the keep from the |
| start. When the enemy gets through the walls let your archers kill as |
| many as they can and when they get close to the keep send your spearmen |
| out after them to kill them all. While this is going on, preferably just |
| before they attack you need to build about 8 or so wood cutters to the |
| far left where the trees are because your gonna need alot of wood fast |
| again. Once you fend off the attack put down 3 or 4 bakies for food |
| before you run out, next put up 3 or so fletcher workshops to begin some |
| bow production. Delete all of your wood fort to gain extra wood reserves, |
| now build a few wheat farms down below to keep your food coming in. When |
| the wood arrives from your lumberjacks build some more bakeries, maybe |
| about 8 or 9 in total. Give extra rations to your peasants even if you |
| can't spear it right now... don't worry your bakers will catch up. |
| |
| Raise the tax to 4 now and when you get enough money make more fletcher |
| workshops and even 1 or 2 poleturner shops. Keep training archers and |
| spearmen as the weapons come in and put them on top of the keep. The next |
| wave of the rats soldiers will be huge so I hope you worked fast enough |
| and have enough troops, when they penetrate the wall again have your |
| archers kill as many as possible and then use your spearmen to attack the |
| closer up ones, you may have to use the lord... but be sure not to use |
| him to early or he will be killed by the many spearmen real fast, only |
| use him if there are 6 or so spearmen left. Keep building troops and use |
| this technique over and over again until your victory. |
| |

*****************************
* 8. Dealing With The Devil *
*****************************
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objective : Acquire Goods : 10 Ale |
| |
| Spies report that the rat is due to launch a do or die attack on our |
| lands and you must intercept and delay his forces. There is no time to |
| raise an army but Duc Beauregard(The Snake) will send a large force to |
| help us in return for a shipment of ale. Once the rats siege force is |
| defeated, Beauregard has agreed to let us take the rats neighbouring |
| county without resistance. Grow hops and brew ale to send to the snake |
| but be warned, it will be hard to keep your people in line whilst meeting |
| the terms of the deal. Use any means at your disposal even cruelty if |
| necessary, the rats force must be defeated here. |

| |
| - This can be a bit of a tricky mission just because of where you have to |
| put your wheat farms and such, first off place your granary behind your |
| keep. build 10 or so wood cutters along the trees, build yourself a |
| marketplace somewhere and then put down some wheat farms, if you run out |
| of wood buy some at the marketplace for now. Now put down one or two hop |
| farms and then build 1 or 2 breweries, put down a mill and some bakeries |
| for when the wheat rolls in. Now start production on some bows by putting |
| down some fletcher workshops, you will have to fight the first wave of |
| the rats troops with your starting troops, it should be to difficult... |
| place all your troops on the keep and use your spearmen when the rats get |
| close. The one annoying part about this mission.. well theres two the |
| first being that sometimes the rats archers hide behind your farms or |
| something and your archers can't shoot at them properly and his archers |
| will just kill your farmers and other workers. |
| |
| The second thing about this mission is that the snake will tell you that |
| he needs a bigger order of ale and it will hike up to 15... and when you |
| get close to that he will say he needs more which is 20. You can hold the |
| rats troops off with your own if you can make them fast enough, you won't |
| need the snakes troops but you get them anyways after you get the 20 ale |
| which is a must to beat this misson. Anyways build a quarry and 1 or 2 ox |
| tethers to transport the stone.. when you get 10 stone place down a small |
| stone gatehouse in the middle of your farms somewhere and place all your |
| archers up there, this will let your archers be able to start shooting |
| the enemy sooner and will give them more accuracy then the keep. Just |
| keep pileing them up there and you will be able to fend off all the waves |
| the rat throws at you until you are able to reach the 20 ale mark, then |
| the rat will throw one big final attack at you but with the help of the |
| snakes troops it should be easy as pie. |
| |

* 9. The Rats Last Stand *
**************************
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objectives : Eliminate All Enemy Units |
| |
| Defend the rats castle against it's former owner! it is very badly |
| designed so you will need to strengthen it. Time spent finishing his moat |
| would be well spent. This is an excellent opportunity to finish off one |
| of the tyrants for good. |

| |
| - This mission is pretty simple and hard if that makes sense, it's simple |
| in the fact that you don't have to build much but it's hard in the sense |
| that the rat sends alot of troops your way. Start by building 5 or 6 wood |
| cuttters up into the treey area, next make some hunting posts to the |
| right of the castle and maybe a few dairy farms if you can fit them in. |
| Now you need to put down a marketplace, and when wood or stone comes in |
| you need to sell it all and buy bows, it takes to long to make bows here |
| so buying is the best option. Try not to get the population to high here, |
| give the peasants extra rations and hike up the tax to start bringing in |
| the gold. One thing that is a MUST here is you need to protect your |
| granary, yes the one that you start off with. Surround it with as much |
| stone as you can so the rats siege weapons don't bust it down... it |
| pretty much has enough food in it to last the whole mission so if you |
| lose it there's pretty much no way to recover. |
| |
| Now that everything is set move all your archers into the keep and use |
| your spearmen to move outside to the left of the castle. When the fight |
| starts use your spearmen to kill as many of their spearmen as you can |
| when they get close, once they all die off the rats spearmen will climb |
| the walls(Well most of them hopefully). This is a good thing, why? |
| because when they climb the wall they will all have to walk around your |
| castle walls to reach the other side where your stairs should be, |
| meanwhile your archers will kill them off on there hunt to get over |
| there. When you kill off the first wave just replace any buildings they |
| bust up and continue to sell stuff and buy bows and train archers. Keep |
| filling the keep with archers and repair the stone walls the enemy |
| smashed in, this will make them have to do it all over again and with |
| more archers now you should be able to finish them off easily. Also if |
| you have the time fix the moat around the castle they filled in, it will |
| just give you a way better chance of succeeding if the archers can't |
| somehow do it themselves. |

| |
| - A pretty simple mission here, first rush most of your spearmen on top |
| of the keep, send about 8 or so to rush the 2 archers. Once they kill all |
| of the snakes troops build some wood cutters around the trees and build |
| some dairy farms around the keep. Once that's established start building |
| some fletcher workshops and get some bows going. Now build a perimeter |
| turret close to your quarry, not to close but just to the left of it. Now |
| start piling all your archers in the turret, continue to expand your food |
| production until you can give extra rations then raise the taxes up. Keep |
| pileing archers in the turret until you get around 75 archers in the |
| turret and then you can focus on your objectives. This is a must for this |
| mission when the snakes troops arrive delete a piece of the stairs going |
| to your turret so the mace men can't get up and kill your archers. Now |
| when you have your food and archers established start building some |
| chapels until you reach the 75% blessed rate, and also rise your |
| population until it reaches 100 and then it's a easy win. |

| - This is one of the tougher missions, the snakes throws a few waves of |
| men at you fast. Place your keep in the open green area near toward the |
| left bottom, next put your granary above your keep. Extend your stockpile |
| to make it about 4 squares, now put down a marketplace beside your keep |
| to the left and buy wood until you have about 400 gold left. Now build |
| about 12 or more wood cutters in the trees to the top and bottom, now |
| let's lay down about 3 wheat farms next the keep. Once the wood comes in |
| build a armory, a fletchers workshop and a poleturners workshop, when |
| more wood comes build a mill and some bakeries... also you should build |
| maybe 4 or 5 dairy farms for quicker food and you will need them later |
| also. Raise the rations to extra and raise the taxes to 4 now even if |
| you don't have that much food because your gonna need the gold. Now buy |
| alittle more stone so you have 30 pieces, put down a barracks and build |
| a perimeter turret way to the northeast but not past the cliff with |
| stone on it... just alittle northwest of it. Now start training archers |
| and put as many as you can up into the turret, once you run out of bows |
| train spearmen and place them in the keep. By now the first wave of the |
| snakes men should be coming at you, quickly delete a piece of stairs |
| leading up to your turret so the macemen can't get up there. Continue to |
| train spearmen and toss them up into your keep until the macemen reach |
| your keep and then send your spearmen out in a line to attack them.. if |
| your spearmen come at them in a line it will be more effient and your |
| spearmen will kill them faster with less deaths to your men. |
| |
| Right after the first wave of the snakes troops are dead a second one |
| will come about 30 seconds after it, you should have enough gold to put |
| down another poleturners workshop now so do it. If you can train the few |
| archers you can now and stuff them into the turret and delete the stairs |
| again you should, also continue to train more spearmen and stick them in |
| the keep. This wave of the snakes troops will be just a bit more making |
| it alittle harder so your gonna need as many spearmen as you can get, |
| continue to use the same strategy as last time to finish this wave off. |
| Once you kill them off the wolfs troops will come into play, he has |
| quite a few archers and about 6 or 7 swordsman with him... and your |
| probably gonna have those archers left and maybe 1 or 2 spearmen left |
| from the last attack of the snake. Your archers should be able to kill |
| all of the wolfs archers but they won't have much time to shoot the |
| swordsman, so you will need to keep training spearmen while the |
| swordsman slowly make their way toward you. You should be able to muster |
| about 10 to 12 spearmen, you should also now have 2 or 3 bows in your |
| armory... build those archers and toss them onto your keep so they can |
| at least inflict little damage onto the swordsman. Anyways if you can |
| build more spearmen perfect but if not you should be able to just squeak |
| out a victory over the swordsman even if you do need your lord to |
| attack. |
| |
| Once the wolfs wave of troops are dead demolish your poleturners... trust |
| me you don't need them anymore. Soon after you should recieve a message |
| from a unknown person giving you plans for the crossbow! You should have |
| some good gold now and plenty of wood, put down some more fletcher |
| workshops and tanner workshops. Click on your fletcher workshops and |
| change the bow to a crossbow, do this for all your fletcher workshops... |
| this will have your craftsmen start making the crossbows. Your gonna need |
| about 8 fletcher workshops and 6 or 7 tanner workshops to get the weapons |
| your gonna need. Once the weapons do start coming in immediatly start |
| stuffing the crossbow men into the turret out in the field, you should |
| get maybe 25 or more up there before the snake will launch 'his' final |
| attack. All of your archers and crossbow men should be able to kill them |
| all before they can get into the turret but it's always a good idea to |
| delete a piece of the stairs anyways. Once their all dead continue to |
| keep stuffing crossbow up there, after alittle bit the wolf will attack |
| with more troops. By this time you should have 50 or close to 50 crossbow |
| men up in the turret and should have no problem with the wolfs troops... |
| including his swordsmen. |

| |
| - First use a tunneler to take down a wall or turret, next just rush your |
| macemen in and kill all there archers and such to take over the castle. |
| Now that you have the castle let's get going on defending it above all |
| else, acquiring 12000 gold right now is last on our list. Start like |
| usual by building some wood cutters, wheat farms, dairy farms, bakeries, |
| mills and all that good stuff. The snakes men will be coming in from the |
| north where the sign post is so build a perimeter turret to the north of |
| your castle but not to close to the sign post.. maybe half way or alittle |
| more toward your castle. Anyways shove all your archers up there for now, |
| now begin the process of making crossbow men by building fletcher |
| workshops and tanner workshops. Continue to just work on shoving your |
| crossbowmen up there until you get about 80 to 90 up there, yes this will |
| be a long mission because of this but this is how it must be done. Okay |
| so when the snake attacks for the first 5 or 6 times your archers and |
| crossbow men won't be able to pick them all off, this is where the rest |
| of your macemen and spearmen come in. Move all of your melee troops to |
| the left of the castle because the macemen from the snakes men will |
| almost always run over here, once they get over there kill them with |
| your men and keep doing this until you reach your 80 to 90 crossbow men |
| mark. |
| |
| Just a piece of advise the odd 2 or 3 macemen from the snakes troops will |
| go to the right and odds are you won't see them, but what you will hear |
| is buildings blowing up from them attacking them so it's a good idea to |
| search the map a bit after each wave of attacks. Also the snakes men will |
| attack ever 30 seconds or so in good size waves, except for the beginning |
| it gives you a chance to get everything ready. So follow doing this |
| strategy until you can get all those crossbow men up there then they |
| should be able to kill each wave without a single enemy getting by, now |
| is the time to build the extra iron mines and quarries to sell their |
| produce off. Also you | can raise the taxes anytime during this mission |
| to help you build more workshops for more weapons and it will also help |
| you reach your 12000 gold goal faster. |

| - This is a fairly easy mission but is kinda long, you wanna start by |
| putting all of your archers and crossbow men in the northern most square |
| tower. Next move your macemen near it to help protect them once the pig |
| sends his first wave, now build up your wood and food supplies and then |
| put down some fletcher and tanner workshops for crossbow men. Build |
| another square turret right on the edge of the cliff to the north of your |
| curret turret your using, now just pile crossbow men up there until they |
| can kill each of the pigs waves of men without them getting close.. that |
| should be around 60 crossbow men and up, I like to have at least 75 in |
| there for good measure. Once you have your defense set up it's time to |
| start your offense, build about 50 more crossbow men and stick them |
| somewhere safe for now. Get started on building macemen now.. I like to |
| over due things so build about 100 macemen or however many you think you |
| can do it with and get ready to lay siege to the snakes castle. Start by |
| sending your macemen in to take down the walls and turrets, while they |
| are bringing them down have your 50 crossbow men fire at the snakes |
| archers, crossbow men and ballistas. Keep pushing forward and eventually |
| you will be into the snakes keep area... just send all your macemen at |
| him and he will go down quick. |

| - Retreat all your archers back to the second gatehouse first off, next |
| start production of bows, crossbows and leather armor. Next build more |
| dairy farms to support your food, now build the available archers you can |
| and place them into the second gatehouse with your other archers. Your |
| gonna need iron for gold income so build alot of iron mines in the iron |
| field above your keep. Now just concentrate on training archers and |
| crossbow men into the gatehouse and surrounding turrets. If you can put |
| up more square turrets around the gatehouse and put up tower ballistas |
| and arm them with engineers, just focus on training as many bowmen as you |
| can to stop the waves of macemen. When the pigs battering rams start to |
| come up immediatly bust them up with all of your archers, you do not want |
| these things smashing in your walls because they do it quickly. Also |
| another good idea would be to reinforce your walls by thickening them up, |
| whatever you do, do not let them pass the second gatehouse! |

| - This is a timed mission so you can't just take your time here, start |
| off by getting all your archers and crossbow men together, this is |
| alittle trick you have to do to beat this mission. Slowly move your |
| archers and crossbow men toward the bottom left turret, don't get close |
| enough for them to start shooting you though... when your troops get |
| close enough you will be able to shoot them without them firing back, but |
| before you do this about 8 or so macemen will come out of the castle and |
| come at your archers so kill them first before or during you start |
| killing there archers and crossbow men. Once you kill the macemen and all |
| the archers and crossbow men in the bottom left turret use the same |
| technique to kill the other archers and crossbow men in the turrets on |
| the left side of the castle. Once they are all dead move in some spearmen |
| to fill in the moat on the left side of the castle, fill it in on the |
| back and front portions of the castle. |
| |
| When the moat is suffiently filled in use those few spearmen to bring |
| down a piece of wall on the back and front part of the castle to where |
| you can get men into the castle, now use all your spearmen and charge |
| into the back part of the castle and get them up the stairs and kill |
| their archers and crossbowmen on the second gatehouse and the 2 turrets |
| surrounding it. When they are dead keep using your spearmen to walk |
| around the stone wall and go from turret to turret killing the other |
| archers until they kill all your spearmen, now use your macemen to |
| finish off the rest of their troops in the back part of the castle. Now |
| use your macemen and charge into the front part of the castle, quickly |
| get them up the stairs that should be right beside you and into the |
| bottom left turrent now quickly rush them over to kill the archers and |
| crossbow men on the gatehouse and then finally to kill the crossbow men |
| in the other turret, finally use your macemen to kill off the pikemen... |
| if by chance the pikemen survive there will only be 1 or 2 left so clean |
| them up with your archers. Now that all the pigs troops are dead you |
| will obtain victory. |

| - This mission isn't to difficult if it is executed properly, first place |
| a marketplace down and buy some extra wood. Get your wood and food |
| supplies going first, stick with apples here... get enough to get exrta |
| rations and raise the taxes, next demolish the tanners workshop because |
| were not gonna be making crossbow men this mission simply because they |
| take to long to make and we need archers fast. Build a armory a barracks |
| and more fletcher workshops, remember only build simple bows. Now build a |
| square turret just pass where your pitch is all set up and put a brazier |
| up there so you can light up the pitch, you should now be out of stone so |
| just demolish your old turret and the stone and wood walls. Now group |
| your monks and spearmen together, your gonna need to use the pitch you |
| have and the pitch you get to help out in the fights. When the first wave |
| attacks delete a piece of steps and when the macemen group up and go near |
| a piece of pitch light it on fire to weaken most of them and even kill |
| some. When the macemen pass the pitch feilds use your monks and spearmen |
| to kill them. Once the first wave is dead train more archers and put them |
| up into the tower, also build a few more pitch rigs for more incoming |
| pitch... when it comes in just lay more pitch where the macemen and |
| pikemen charge in. After 2 more waves or so you should have a good amount |
| of archers up there, so begin porduction of the stone you need. Once you |
| get about 100 archers in the tower build some poleturner workshops if you |
| want some extra protection for the lord. After awhile and a few more |
| waves you should have all the stone you need. |

| - Firstly demolish all off the stone rubble buildings around the castle, |
| next get some apple orchards up and wood cutters. Now buy some more wood |
| and put down some tanner workshops with some dairy farms for them and |
| some fletcher workshops. You need to get some more crossbow men fast |
| before the pigs wave of troops come so buy some crossbows and leather |
| armor... maybe 10 each. Train the crossbow men and put all off them in |
| the top right turret, now finish off your castle... try to double layer |
| it with stone. Continue to train crossbow men as the weapon and armor |
| come in, when the pigs troops finally show up your gonna need to use your |
| boiling pitch to help kill off the macemen and pikemen. Usually the |
| macemen will run in a big pack along the front of your castle so it's |
| good to pour it in their path to kill and weaken them. |
| |
| Make sure to have your monks and macemen in your keep at this time, if |
| the pigs macemen get through your wall which they most likley will you |
| have to send your monks and macemen after them to kill them. Your |
| crossbow men should clean most of the pikemen up as long as you help them |
| out with alittle boiling pitch. After the first wave is done you need to |
| continue to train crossbow men and toss them up into the turret, also it |
| wouldnt hurt to have a tower ballista or manganel up in the turret. Your |
| gonna need some extra gold so raise the taxes and the food level to extra |
| rations... just make sure you got a good number of apple orchards so you |
| can do this safely. If you have some spare gold buy the weapons as well, |
| you can never have enough crossbow men. If you continue to train your |
| crossbow men and move them around the castle to kill off the pigs waves |
| you will succeed. |

| - This is pretty much the same mission as number 15, Carving A Path, |
| except for a few things. One, he has at least triple if not four times as |
| many troops in his castle, second, there is pitch ditches all around his |
| castle so if you charge it one of his archers will light it up and odds |
| are all of your men in it are done for, lastly, he has killing pits |
| around the left side of his castle which is pretty much as deadly as |
| pitch because there's alot of them. This time you get alot more troops to |
| raid his castle, you have to pretty much stick to the same game plan as |
| last time. Use your archers to wipe out as many as his archers on turrets |
| as you can, but be careful of going to the left side remember if you get |
| to close while shooting the archers in turrets deeper into the castle you |
| can step onto those killing pits and lose most or all of your archers. |
| |
| Sacrificing spearmen here to step on and use up all of those killing pits |
| so your archers can move forward can be a big advantage, yes true you |
| might lose 50 - 75 spearmen but your archers will kill alot of the pigs |
| main troops and you have plenty of reserve troops. Once your archers have |
| cleaned up all of the pigs archers and crossbow men on the left side |
| start digging in the moat on the left side to get into the back part of |
| the pigs castle. Don't use to many spearmen... maybe 20 or so just in |
| case one archer on the other side of the castle lights up the pitch, once |
| the moat is suffiently dug into the wall start bringing a piece of it |
| down with the spearmen and when it's down send all your spearmen into the |
| keep, odds are a archer will light the pitch all around the keep and kill |
| most of your spearmen. You probably won't kill the pig just yet but once |
| the fire goes away use your macemen to charge in to finish him off. |

| - I hate this mission, it's next to impossible when playing on very hard |
| and having diseased cows flying at you is no fun either. Basically the |
| key to winning here if you can win here is to build 5 to 6 turrets and |
| have manganels on them and hope that they kill enough of the wolfs troops |
| on the way to attack, just stick to making archers because you will need |
| alot of them to kill off his archers... crossbow men take to long here |
| and you can't produce enough of them. Also your engineers with boiling |
| pitch can be a good advantage here, once the swordsman start attacking |
| the walls pour the boiling pitch on them to roast them up. You get very |
| limited space here so it's hard to keep food going good and build weapons |
| so it's best to buy bows and sell off iron if you can get some going. |
| Also you should demolish the gatehouse where the wolfs troops try to get |
| in and just make a thick wall there.. maybe 3 or 4 layers. After all this |
| say a prayer because this isn't 100% full proof all the time, if you |
| stick to my strategy though you should come out victories most of the |
| time... good luck. |

| - This mission looks pretty tough but isn't to bad if executed properly, |
| first get your food going by puting down some wheat farms and a good |
| amount of bakeries... if your wondering where to put it all you don't |
| need much of anything but your barracks and one oil smelter in the open |
| field so just put the majority of your bakeries in the field below there. |
| You won't have much time to make weapons so that pretty much out of the |
| question, one thing that is good about this mission is you start out with |
| a good amount of gold and you get plenty of weapons to start. Make all |
| the archers and crossbow men you can and stuff them into the to front |
| round towers, also get some engineers with boiling pitch up there and |
| around your second gatehouse and walls. Your archers and crossbow men |
| should be able to clean this wave up if you have enough of them.. if not |
| make some swordsmen with the 57 amounts of swords and armor. |
| |
| The second wave you may have to fall back to the second gatehouse with |
| all off your archers and crossbow men, by then you should have most if |
| not all of your swordsmen up and ready.. sell some iron and pitch to buy |
| crossbows and leather armor during the battles and train more crossbow |
| men for a stronger defense. After each wave you should repair the second |
| gatehouse and surrounding walls, after two waves your front part of the |
| castle will probably be a total loss... but leave the rubble to help |
| block from trebuchet rocks and catapult rocks. If you can for the forth |
| wave put some pitch to burn and weaken the wolfs troops, also move your |
| swordsmen back into the keep. When the wolfs troops break through your |
| wall let your archers and crossbow men weaken the wolfs troops as much as |
| possible before sending your swordsmen at them... probably when they are |
| near the keep is when to send your troops at them. Yes it will appear |
| they have more swordsmen then you but your troops should be alot fresher |
| with more energy and his will be weak from your archers and crossbow men |
| so you should easily kill them all with less than half of your swordsmen |
| dying. With this wave done you win. |

| - The strategy here kinda takes after when you go after the pig, at least |
| when your archers come into play. First thing that needs done is to take |
| out those two round turrets at the front of the castle, to do this you |
| need to set up a trebuchet where you can shoot rocks from it without |
| having the ballistas shoot at you... that shot is in the tree area but |
| not to far in. Take 3 engineers and set up a trebuchet in there and make |
| sure your not getting fired apon, now take aim at the gatehouse... this |
| will make your trebuchet hit all three off the buildings here. Once you |
| run out of rock shoot the diseased cattle at the troops on the ground to |
| weaken them, now disband the trebuchet but quick select and move your |
| engineers before they disappear so you can use them again, set up another |
| trebuchet and continue shoothing until the 2 turrets and the gatehouse is |
| down. Now use your archers to clean up the archers in the front there, on |
| the turret and the ground. Now when you can get close enough build |
| another trebuchet closer but where the last ballista can't shoot at your |
| trebuchet, theres another turret in front of the one with the ballista on |
| it so it's pretty likely you will have to take it down before you can get |
| at it... your probably gonna need 2 trebuchets again to do this. |
| |
| Once it's done slowly move your archers in to take out the rest of the |
| archers in the front part of the castle, but be careful one of their |
| archers doesnt get a good shot off because there is pitch all around you |
| and it will go up in flames. Now that all the archers are dead send in |
| 12 - 16 spearmen at the gatehouse, this will likley cause other archers |
| further back to set the pitch on fire which is good... one thing your |
| looking to do here is have them set the pitch in front of the stairs on |
| fire. Once it burns out quickly get your archers and crossbow men in the |
| turret up the stairs, have them start shooting at all the rest of the |
| archers around you until they are dead, you should be able to kill all |
| the archers and crossbow men here except the ones on the keep and the |
| very back turret. From here get something to take down the second |
| gatehouse and send your knights in to kill the few pikemen and swordsmen |
| in this little area and have them bring down the last gatehouse... have |
| them kill as many ground units as they can. Now select all of your |
| spearmen and have them rush the keep, once they get close a archer will |
| set the hole front part of the keep up in flames from the pitch. Once it |
| burns out rush your swordsman and macemen up the keep and kill the wolf! |

| Following a dispute with his son Gruffudd in 1221, Llywelyn Fawn took |
| over his territories of Meirionydd and Ardudwy in southern Gwyneed and |
| began to build Castell Y Bere. The castle was built on an elongated |
| plateau of rock in the upper Dysynni vally. On the 25th of april 1283, |
| Castell Y Bere was surrendered to king Edwards forces. Castell Y Bere was |
| the last of the welsh castles to fall to Edward. But despite the kings |
| attempt to quell forcibly any resistance by his ambitious castle building |
| scheme, the welsh rebelled in 1294, and the self-proclaimed Price of |
| Wales, Madog Ap Llywelyn led the north wales mob. By the time they were |
| stomped out in the following year, Castell Y Bere was a gutted shell. All |
| that remains today is a few pieces of rock and the outline of the huge |

| - This is a tough little mission, your massively out numbered here. You |
| need to start by quickly moving all of your archers to the front of the |
| castle.. next you have to use those little bits of pitch out in the field |
| to your advantage. What you want to do is weaken and kill as many of the |
| enemies swordsmen as you can so as their swordsmen are walking up you |
| need to light those pieces of pitch up so they burn them, also it |
| wouldn't hurt to burn some of the pikemen to if you get the chance but |
| mainly the swordsmen. Once they surround the castle fall all of your |
| troops and I mean all of them back into the keep... cram them all up into |
| it, it's very likely the pikemen are gonna get in first and they usually |
| hang out in front of the keep until the swordsmen make it close to the |
| keep, just leave everything be where your archers are shooting everyone |
| until the swordsmen get close and then they will start to pile in... what |
| you want to do now which seems like suicide is select all of your troops |
| and move them out of the keep and toward the swordsmen... don't select |
| them to attack them just move "past" them so they stay in a perfect line, |
| this compacts the damage they do so if 5 pikemen or so get in at a time |
| they are wiped out real quick before they do any damage hardly, so do |
| this so they stay in a line. Now hopefully you have weakened the |
| swordsmen enough so that your archers, spearmen and 2 swordsmen can go |
| right through them. Once the swordsmen die pack all back into the keep, |
| you should still have at least 25 archers left minimum, all that's left |
| now is knights which can't get into the keep so your archers will kill |
| them in awhile. |

| Pick roughly 60 pikemen, 5 archers and 50 to 60 laddermen, when you start |
| the mission have your few archers kill the 2 archers just above you on |
| the hill. Next use about 12 laddermen to run around in the open field |
| directly above where you start so the enemy archers light up the pitch on |
| the ground. Keep sending 12 or so laddermen to help light the pitch up as |
| much as possibly until they are all dead, next send your pikemen in 10's |
| or so to start taking down the wall in the left side of the castle so you |
| can rush the keep once you open up the walls. When a slot of wall opens |
| up send all your pikemen left up into the keep to slay the lord. |

| - This mission is a challange and is fun to play, move all of your bowmen |
| to the front of the castle. Let your archers kill the easy spearmen when |
| they come, only light the pitch up when it's most useful, like when a |
| large group of swordsman is on it. The biggest part of winning this |
| mission is your engineers pouring boiling pitch on the enemy, again wait |
| for when the swordsmen start taking down your turrets then pour it on |
| them to kill them quickly... once they pour it make sure they refill and |
| run back because they don't always do it on their own. If you do this |
| just right they won't be able to even take down one of your turrets, or |
| if you just barely squeak by you will end up on your keep with all of |
| your troops up there hopeing your archers will kill all of the on coming |
| spearmen. If you find yourself in this postion make sure you have at |
| least 2 engineers with boiling pitch up there with you, and when all the |
| spearmen come pour it on them right in front of the keep.. odds are they |
| will burn up before they can get into the keep. |

| place all of your archers and crossbow men in the two front turrets. Have |
| your manganels start shooting their rocks into the enemy troops, this |
| will help alot as it will take out roughly 50 enemy troops whether they |
| be archers, swordsmen or macemen. Once the swordsmen start stepping on |
| the pitch light it up to weaken and kill them, this is pretty much the |
| only thing you have to do, your archers will clean most of the spearmen |
| up and when the swordsmen and few macemen get near the keep let lose the |
| dogs and when they get up into the keep send your macemen and swordsmen |
| at them... also there is some pitch in front of the keep you can light up |

| sailors. During this time the prisoners managed to set fire to the entire |
| castle and the entire eastern wall fell into the moat and was not |

| keep along with all off your macemen, swordsmen and pikemen. When they |
| dig in the moat and the swordsmen start marching in light up the pieces |
| of pitch that they stand on for the best effect. Eventually they will get |
| through the second gatehouse when they do and they have alot of troops on |
| the other side of it move all of your archers and crossbow men on top of |
| your second gatehouse carefully, not to run into any of their troops. |
| Once they are on there they will kill and weaken alot of the pikemen and |
| swordsmen, and yet again eventually they will bust into both gatehouses |
| leading to your keep... when they do that and there is a pile of pikemen |
| or swordsmen let one of your boiling pitchs go right in their path, this |
| is insanely effect. You have four more boiling pitch tosses so use them |
| each time there is alot of troops in the little path here, and when you |
| run out you should have enough macemen, pikemen and swordsmen to clean |
| up the rest along with your archers and crossbow men weakening any that |
| come for your lord. |

| Monteriggioni is without doubt one of the most classical and best-known |
| Italian walled towns. The walls, which are still nearly intact today, |
| cover a length of 570 meters and are alternated by 14 towers and two |
| gates. The senese gate rises at the base of the tower while the gate |
| facing towards Florence is defended from one of the towers of the |
| fortified perimeter wall. The hill where Monteriggioni riser is natural, |
| even though it does not seem to resemble the artifical hills used for the |
| normans mighty motle and bailey castles. The walls are circular and were |
| placed by following the grounds natural curves. The town itself was built |
| by the senesis in the years 1213-1219 on a hillock at dominion and |
| overlooks the cassia road. |

| - I don't know if it's just my copy or they didn't program this mission |
| properly but for some reason the mission starts fine and then all of the |
| enemy troops will march to the bottom of the map and just sit there while |
| I can just kill them. So the strategy is fairly simple, just kill them |
| all with your archers and crossbow men for an easy victory because they |
| won't really fight back in force. |

| - Theres two way to go about this one, first you should change your |
| troops to mostly crossbow men and some swordsmen or pikemen.. say around |
| 20 - 25 again. Now you can take all of your crossbow men and rush up to |
| the castle and use them to take out their tower ballistas and few archers |
| at this side of the castle but you will lose quite a few men this way. |
| Second you can move your entire army around the castle to the other side |
| where there is only archers in the turrets, going this way you should |
| lose fewer troops on the move, their tower ballista will still get you |
| but not quite as bad. After you make your choice just continue to use the |
| archer shot technique you wipe out all of the archers and then bust down |
| a piece of wall and rush the keep to victory. |

| William the conqueror chose the site for Windsor, englands largest |

| guarding the western approaches to london. Starting life as a simple |
| wooden stockade, it was to be the first of a chain of fortifications |
| built around london by the normans to control the south-east of england. |
| Each castle in the chain would be no more than a days march on foot in |
| case of invasions. Windsors commanding postion, on a hill overlooking the |
| thames, was the natural place for the principal building in the area at |

| - Probably the hardest mission ever, you need to place down some more |
| wood cutters and dairy farms to get your wood and food going, also some |
| more hunter posts would help. Right after you have to start production of |
| alot of bows, I know it's hard.. set down 5 fletcher workshops so you |
| will be left with no money. Once the food starts coming in raise the |
| taxes and raise to extra rations, once the bows come in train the archers |
| and send all you have to the front turret for now. When the first attack |
| comes in just leave your archers to clean up as much as they can and when |
| the spearmen make it around send some archers to the back to help kill |
| them off. Rebuild any stuff that was destroyed and keep continuing to |
| train those archers cause your gonna need them. Continue to do this for |
| the next two waves of troops and then the pig will send some of his |
| troops for the fourth and final wave, this wave is the hardest yet |
| because he has alot of archers, some spearmen and some macemen... along |
| with catapults to take down your walls!. The stupid game says the king |
| has sent reinforcement archers to aid you but never show up, at least on |
| the very hard level. Anyways if you have kept training the archers |
| through the whole time you should... I repeat should have just barley |
| enough archers to kill off his wave. If you find you can not train enough |
| archers in time you can start building poleturner workshops along with |
| the fletcher workshops and when a enemy wave comes in send all your |
| spearmen out to help stop the wave, this will save a few archers from |
| getting killed by enemy archers. |

| - This is also a very tough mission, you need to get food going fast but |
| also bow production. Start with wood, build some in the trees and then |
| build a few wheat farms behind your keep. Now build some fletcher |
| workshops and when wheat comes in start with a mill and some bakeries. |
| Also it is good to build 4 or 5 hunters posts to get some quicker food in |
| the granary. Build some tower ballistas on your square turrets and get |
| some engineers on them, by the time you get maybe 1 or 2 archers trained |
| the pigs first wave will attack. It shouldn't be to hard to kill off but |
| it's annoying when his men trash all off your work stations, once the |
| wave is dead replace everything he smashed and continue on with more and |
| more bow production for more archers. His waves of attacks grow each time |
| until about the 6 or 7th wave then it's just a big wave of archers, |
| macemen, crossbow men and engineers. Anyways once you start getting some |
| good archers build a round or square turret midway between your castle |
| and where the pigs men come in, now start putting archers up there along |
| with a manganel. When his men come to play use the manganel to kill as |
| many of his troops as it can, your archers should get in some good damage |
| and kills as well. After and during each wave continue to train archers |
| and stuff them in the turret until you get enough up there to pretty much |
| stop his waves from getting by, then you can focus on the 6004 bread you |
| need. |

| - Get some wood going by placing down some wood cutters, also put down a |
| marketplace. Buy about 200 gold in more wood and put down some dairy |
| farms in the castle area behind the keep, when some more wood comes in or |
| if you have some still make up some fletcher workshops for some bow |
| production. Your gonna have to raise the taxes sometime soon for some |
| gold for those archers so it's best to do it now for some money and when |
| your popularity is 70 or so take them off. When the bows come in train |
| the archers and put them in the very bottom turret, by now the rats first |
| wave is coming which isn't to difficult but the spearmen like to bust up |
| your wood cutters, just replace them once the wave is done. Keep making |
| the bows and expand your food resources by filling up the back part of |
| the castle with dairy farms, also delete the gatehouse and surrounding |
| wall to the very right of the castle, not the gatehouse that's attached |
| to the actual castle but the other one in front of the hovel. Now there's |
| space here to lay down some dairy farms. |
| |
| Continue to keep just training archers and replace your stuff that gets |
| busted up until you start getting a good amount of archers, now build a |
| round or square turret in front of your castle in the trees area so it is |
| close to where the rats troops come up... move all but 5 or so archers up |
| there. Now build a defense turret maybe over to the right where you |
| probably put your wood cutters and toss the remaining archers you have up |
| there, also it's good to put at least 5 more up there so theres 10 |
| there... this is protect your wood stations if any spearmen get by your |
| other turret full of archers. Now build a few wheat farms and hops farms |
| in the green area around here, the wheat is to get even more food going |
| since you will be just barley getting by on food. Build a mill, some |
| bakeries and some breweries to get all the goods going. Now this sucks, |
| around this time hopefully you didn't take to long, a fire will break out |
| in your castle and light up alot of stuff especially if it's close |
| together so hopefully you have a few hundred gold to spare.. put down |
| quite a few wells in the castle, you can always replace the wheat and |
| hops farms if they go up but if the main stuff in your castle goes up |
| like your granary and armory then it's a hard recovery. Once you prevent |
| the fire just continue to brew the ale until you reach your goal. |

| - Another mission I was having a glitch was this one, when the snakes |
| troops attacked most if not all off his archers did not come at me, they |
| just laid back while the pig came in for an attack and some of his |
| archers didn't come either. Anyways for the strategy for what troops do |
| come at you, stuff every single archer and crossbow men you have to the |
| very west turret, the one that's just behind the gatehouse off near the |
| valley. This is the only place all the waves of men come to so it makes |
| sense to have them here, once that's done get your food going with mostly |
| dairy farms and if you can maybe some apple farms if you can find the |
| space. Place all of your melee troops in the keep for now although your |
| not gonna need them, the thing that's gonna make this mission easy is |
| pitch... for each wave of melee troops that comes you have to lay new |
| pitch down so a few pitch rigs will keep you in supply. The melee units |
| will rush past where all your archers are along the water and then the |
| cliff near your turret so these are the two places to lay strings of |
| pitch. Start bow production and just keep sticking archers up into the |
| turret here, after each wave of enemy troops just keep replacing the |
| pitch where you burn up all their troops. This will be an easy victory |
| for once. |

| - This is a pretty tough mission if you arent a veteran of the game, what |
| your gonna need here are crossbow men.. im sure it could be done with |
| swordsmen but it's more effort to do so. Place your keep near the bottom |
| of the map. just right above where the two cliffs come apart, next place |
| 4 or 5 granaries out in the middle of the field. Now build lots and I |
| mean lots of apple orchards all around the granaries, build a marketplace |
| now and buy alot more wood. Put down some wood cutters, a few dairy farms |
| near the stockpile, some quarries with ox tethers and some iron mines for |
| selling the iron. Once this is all set down put down alot of fletcher |
| workshops and tanner workshops.. and again I mean alot. If you need money |
| you can sell the apples that are coming in, if you put down alot of |
| orchards then you will have a ridiculas amount of apples coming in so you |
| can sell them for some good gold, don't raise rations just sell apples |
| here. Also sell off any incoming iron and stone for more gold, once the |
| weapons and armor start coming in train all the crossbow men you can and |
| stuff them into the keep. Continue to do this and if you find you have |
| extra gold buy some crossbows and leather armor for more troops because |
| you are gonna need alot of crossbow men to stop the wave of the wolfs |
| troops coming. If you follow this strategy right you will win everytime, |
| you only have to worry about stopping the first wave early.. the second |
| wave has some more troops then the first but it gives you a longer period |
| to train more crossbow men so it easy. I can't stress enough about the |
| apple orchards here, as sad as it sounds they are the key to victory. |

There isn't a whole lot to this section, im just gonna explain how to get
into a internet game and the differnet ways to do it.
There are two ways that I know how to get onto the net and play a internet
game, one is through the game... you can connect to someones IP address to
join their game or you can start your own and have other people join your
game. The second way and easiest way to play a internet game is through
gamespy, simply open gamespy up, sign in, and click on the side list where
stronghold is. There will be a list of games to choose from to join, also
you can create your own game as well. Internet games are just skirmishes
between however many players there are in the game you joined between 1-4.
A skirmish is fun to play and can make you a better player all round.

Economic based games deal with gathering goods for the most part, some can
be just as challanging as the military campaign. If you want to get away
from the violence for a bit these missions are fun to play and might even
help you out by familiarizing your way around goods if you play the military
campaign again or if you play these ones first.
*****************************************************************************
1. Playing the Economic Campaign
This is the economic campaign and the strategies I will offer to help you
get past each mission, these missions can be just as challanging as the
military campaign so do now take them lightly.

O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objectives : Acquire Goods : 200 Cheese |
| Acquire Goods : 24 Ale |
| |
| The royal court is soon to host a great banquet. We need you to find a |
| small village for the production of ale and cheese. Find a clearing in |
| the woods to the south of the kings castle and get to work immediatly. |

| - This mission isn't to difficult, start by placing some wood cutters |
| into the woods near the top of the map... this will clear out some of the |
| trees so you can place down more dairy farms. Now build 4 or 5 hop farms |
| and a couple of breweries near the stockpile, next use the rest of your |
| wood to put down dairy farms, when more wood comes in just continue to |
| build dairy farms where ever you can find space. About 35% through this |
| mission your hop farms will die off and continue to do so for quite |
| awhile but don't worry it will go away after awhile and you can continue |
| to make the ale. Also plague will come twice and lower your popularity, |
| if you can afford it raise to extra rations until it passes.. this will |
| slow down your popularity desent. Just keep working like this and you |
| will achieve your goal before you run out of time. |

* 2. The Long Valley *
***********************
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
| |
| Objectives : Acquire Goods : 24 Bows |
| Acquire Goods : 16 Swords |
| |
| The kings armory is depleted. Go to the valley to the east of the castle |
| and begin weapons production. The fertile valley floor is ideal for apple |
| growing which you can use to feed your people. A local trader here trades |
| in iron, which you can buy to produce some of the weapons needed. |
| |
| |
| Available Buildings - Wood Barracks, Armory, Small Wooden Gatehouse |
| - Stockpile, Wood cutter, Marketplace |
| - Apple Orchard, Hops Farm |
| - Hovel |

| |
| - Place your keep near the middle of the map, where the stream parts 3 |
| differnt ways. Now place your granary over to the right of the screen, |
| build some wood cutters near the top where the trees are and now build |
| some apple orchards near your granary. There are bears near where you put |
| your wood cutters so it might be awhile before you get some wood going |
| because your lumberjacks will be fighting with them for a bit, but this |
| is okay. When some wood does come in put down a marketplace and a armory, |
| also fill up the right side of the screen with apple orchards. Hike the |
| tax up and raise to extra rations, while this is going on 3 archers and a |
| monk will join your force, unfortunitly now at this time a group of |
| bandits will attack your people and go for your apple orchards and |
| granary. Your going to need to use your lord to go kill them, after this |
| put down 2 or so fletcher workshops.. and when you can afford it buy some |
| iron and put down a blacksmith workshop. For future reference you might |
| want to train 4 or 5 more archers because more bandits will come to |
| destroy your stuff and also more wolves will come. So while this is going |
| to happen conitinue to expand your weapons production, you shouldn't have |
| to much trouble with this mission just stick to this strategy and you |
| will win with relative ease. |

* 3. Gathering The Harvest *

| |
| Objectives : Achieve Population : 200 |

| |
| We now need to establish a small town to provide grain for the castle. |

| |
| - This can be a bit of a tough mission if you underestimate it, although |
| there is no bandit raids or fires it is still challanging. The only thing |
| that happens is a few plagues and your wheat dies off for awhile, other |
| than that it's a straight gather mission. Place your keep near the top of |
| the map, next put 2 granaries behind your keep. Now put some wood cutters |
| down and a few wheat farms, when wood comes in build a few more wheat |
| farms and then a mill or two and some bakeries. Just continue to expand |
| your food productivity bigger and bigger to get your population to 200, |
| you will want to get a few archers so put down a fletcher workshop. Why |
| do you need archers? Because rabbits breed and they will eat your wheat |
| farms if you do nothing to stop them so have the archers kill them off. |
| Like I said just continue to expand your wheat and food productivity |
| until you get your 200 population, obviously you will need to raise |
| rations to double rations and hike your tax up to 8 to get the neccesary |
| gold you require. When plague hits lower your taxes to 2 so people won't |
| leave your castle, if you have enough wheat farms going you can sell off |
| some of the wheat, but remember when your wheat farms die off for that |
| while you can start running out of food quick with such a large |
| operation. Just be cautious about this mission and keep the production |
| large and you will win. |

| - This is a tough mission, if it's not bandits attacking it's a fire |
| burning up all your stuff! You need lots of wood to start off with so get |
| a good number of wood cutters going, next put down some wheat farms in |
| the green grass below. When some wood comes in build a mill and some |
| bakeries, when you build your bakeries it is pretty essential to build |
| them in wider rows and fit in wells into those row.. trust me your gonna |
| need a good number of wells to. The bandit raids are easy enough it's |
| just a downer to your people and will lower your popularity, when you get |
| some more wood coming in build 2 more granaries to hold all the bread you |
| need. You will probably get your first taste of fire breaking out now, if |
| you don't have many wells then it's impossible to recover if it hits your |
| bakery area or wheat farm area. When you get it all settled down and have |
| some more wood you need to start on your stone and iron so get some |
| quarries with ox tethers going and some iron mines. After that build a |
| dairy farm or two and some tanners workshops, also put down some |
| blacksmith workshops to get the maces going, don't forget to switch them |
| to maces. Now you just have to worry about the fires breaking out |
| basically, if you can contain them fine your gonna get through this fine. |
| Just keep expanding growth of food, stone and your weapons to beat this |
| mission after you have a good set up.. but again when you expand you must |
| build more wells to cover your arse! |

| - Speed is the key to winning here, it's likley it will come down to the |
| wire when and if you win. Start by demolishing all off the cruel torture |
| devices around the map. Your gonna need to get alot of wood fast so build |
| alot of wood cutters to the north and anywhere else there is trees. Now |
| surround your castle with apple orchards anywhere you can fit one, build |
| a marketplace and buy all the wood you can with the gold you have. Start |
| putting down pitch rigs now... as many as you can with the wood you have, |
| also putting down a couple of apothecaries when you have more money, it |
| is a good idea because plague will come quite a few times. Also putting |
| down 2 or 3 chapels can be a good idea as well because religon will raise |
| the peasants happiness, when you have these set in place you can riase |
| the tax up, also set your food rations to extra... it will start off at |
| double rations to you will have to change it. Now just build pitch rigs |
| when more wood comes in and buy some extra wood as well to get alot of |
| pitch rigs going, keep selling all the pitch that comes in and buy more |
| wood until you get a good setup of pitch rigs. It's likley you will |
| achieve 10000 gold with alittle time to spare to beat this mission. |

| - Every time I beat this mission I do it with about 10 seconds to spare |
| from the time remaining left, anyways build alot of wood cutters off the |
| start because your gonna need alot and you can't buy any. Now build apple |
| orchards where you can in the green grass, now start production of your |
| bows and swords by building at least one of each. Now buy 5 iron and |
| build as many cheese farms as you can fit near your keep, when some food |
| comes in raise taxes and raise food rations. Your going to need to sell |
| your apples as they come in, don't worry though your cheese will be able |
| to support your people. When you can, put down 2 more fletcher workshops |
| for a total of 3 and 2 more blacksmith workshops for a total of three. |
| Now when you get enough money buy iron so your blacksmiths can make the |
| swords you need. If you follow this strategy you will just barley pull |
| out a victory. |

| - This is a very hard mission, you need to be fast and effient with where |
| you place your buildings. Start by building lots of wood cutters for wood |
| and to bring down the trees for apple orchards, once you can get some |
| apple orchards going raise taxes and rations to extra. Sell off the wood |
| as it comes in and expand your wood operation even more, now start |
| production of the weapons you need... but be warned a fire will probably |
| break out soon so wells are a must. Delete the wood cutters that you |
| start out with because most likley they will have cleared the trees |
| around them so build more wood cutters further out, if you can build fast |
| enough you will avoid another fire which happends near the end of your |
| time limit. This mission is for veterans of the game only, even I had |
| some trouble with this mission so you know it's really tough! But if you |
| stick with this stratagy and are fast and effective enough you will beat |
| it. |

| - This is one annoying mission, everything bad that can happen will |
| happen and does happen offen... wolves attack, bears attack, rabbits eat |
| your crops, plague, and fires do break out. Put your keep down near the |
| middle of the map where there is a cliff and a sandy spot right close by, |
| now put down some wood cutters. Put some apple orchards down above your |
| keep and some wheat farms below your keep. Put down a armory and build a |
| barracks, you will likely need to buy some stone so do it. Now buy 5 bows |
| and train the archers and toss them on your keep, have them kill the |
| wolves, bears and rabbits that come near the keep. Raise taxes and raise |
| rations to extra, when you get some gold put down wells and a apothecary. |
| Again when you get some more gold buy some more stone and build a defense |
| or square tower right below your keep, you may need to demolish a wheat |
| farm to put it down... move your archers onto the turret, this will |
| protect your archers from dying from the plague as the plague will hit on |
| top of the keep. As I said alot of bad things happen but alot of |
| traveling fairs do happen to bring up the peoples happiness. Keep |
| expanding your food produciton to get the population up to 150 as you |
| need, once the population is up just lay down a crap load of torture |
| devices to raise cruelity and you will win. |

C. - Map Editor
The map editor let's you create your own maps, missions sieges and
multiplayer maps. If you get good at using it you can make amazing maps and
missions to play.
1. Loading A Working Map
This option let's you load a previous map you started and you can continue
to work on it when it has been loaded.
2. New Stand-Alone Map
When you select this option you will have started to create a new map and
what type of map it will be, once you click on the stand-alone you will
have 4 differnt size options for the map you wish to create. After
selecting your size 4 more options will pop up and you will choose the type
of map you want it to be, you can create a siege map, invasion map,
economic map and a landscape map. Each option will tell you what you can do
with the map if you place your cursor over the option. Once you choose what
size and type of map you want you can edit the name of your map, edit the
events that will happen with the map... whether it be an invasion of
bandits to a fire breaking out, lastly you can choose the "To Map" option
which will let you edit the map itself.
3. New 'Seige That' Map
This option is unique in that fact you have a pre-made map already or you
can load a map you made earlier and you must build the best castle you can
with the resources given to you. When you save the map or click 'Lock Map'
the map will go into the "Playing A Siege" map list and you can play it,
also your castle will get a score on how well it held up. The better your
castle the better your score, challange yourself to make a better castle
each time!
4. New Multiplayer Map
This option will let you create a simple map with no missions or invasions,
it's almost like a free build except this map can be used to play online
with your friends.
*****************************************************************************
D. - Loading A Saved Game
When you save your game whether it be in the military campaign or any other
part of the game you can load it back from where you saved with this option.
