 Mission 21 – The Desert Wind
Start conditions:
Five adversaries: The Rat, Duc de Puce,
The Pig, Duke Truffe,
The Pig, Duke Pigsbury,
The Pig “Boar”
Lionheart,Richard
Here we’ve got 2000 pieces of Gold for both player and each adversary.
Right from the beginning, you’re quarrelling with the three adversaries nearby about the northern stone and iron deposits. Therefore, you have to bring these important areas and your “neighbours” under control as much early as possible.
This first task is achievable, because your opponents are starting under the same financial conditions and they are slowly making progress with their developments.
First I would build: 1 granary, 5 stockpile elements, 3 woodcutters, 2 apple orchards, 1 market, 1 barrack and 1 engineer’s guild.
After that, I advise you to buy about 80 stones to erect two square towers connected with walls and manned by two mangonels ordering sustained fire against the Pig’s and the Rat’s nearest positions. It’s effective to send several crossbowmen and Arabian archers onto both towers. Don’t fail to pull down some wall stairs again to block up the access to your towers, if the hostile soldiers should try to enter them.
Your next steps are: 2 hovels, 1 brewery, 1 inn, 1 armoury and 5 fletchers ( two of them producing bows, three crossbows).
Permanently keep an eye on the stone and iron deposits. If there isn’t any danger to use them, you should erect at least two quarries, four ox tethers and three iron mines. Keep on consolidating your settlement by adding more square towers, manned by mangonels to press your “neighbours” hard.
A well-running stone and iron production will allow you to improve your financial situation for a prospering economic development. You have to look after more huts and a stable production of swords and armours by recruiting several offensive units (swordsmen). Assisted by some catapults and fire ballistas you will be able to eliminate all enemies one after another. However, the hardest opponent certainly will be Richard Lionheart, but believe me; he will finally surrender, if you are persistent and patient!
It took me about 15 years till victory.
I wish you “Good Luck”!

I had a massively oversized army for the job, which is always fun, and about 3 fire ballistae continually setting fire to his buildings. I did spot a bug in the map I think: even though you destroy Richard's market, and he's out of wood, (remember I'd also blocked him from getting anyone out of the gates to get more), he still managed to replenish his supply with something like 60 pieces! he didn't get it from destroying his own buildings - they were on fire - and he had no woodcutters. hmm... interesting. The Lionheart doth cheat, tho' he proclaimeth he wisheth for a fair fight?! Hypocrisy my Lord!
all right - it wasn't fair I killed him with about 130 archers and 60 pikemen, but I wasn't the one asking for the fair fight!
Cheers again,

Lionheart and the blue pig were both enclosed in their castles. Overrun them in one minute each. What a pleasure this mission. |

All you have to do to is build your granary, 3 houses and a merc. post as quickly as possible. the spend ALL of your gold on buying assassins. send them to one enemy after the other. you'll be surprized at what they can do. you may want to lower the game play speed but i dont bother personally. You will probably run out of assassins but all you have to is protect your castle from any enemies that may be left, build back an army and play the game like it should be done ;) |

This one was pretty good for me, bought some maces to begin with to finish the Rat off, kept mangonels firing on the pig to the north and east, then eventually assassin rushed them fairly easily. Third pig was a bit harder (the far north one) but after 5 catapults knocked down the wall, just rushed him with some macemen. I thought Lionheart would be harder, but he had barely 50 troops so I just knocked down his double gatehouses from afar with my 5-6 catapults and rushed him with macemen and assassins. |
