In this series I will try to complete the Crusader trails without using portable shields, the macemen rush or other cheap strategies.
19. A DATE WITH HISTORY
Enemies: Wolf, duc Volpe
Economy: 3000 - 40.000
Map: Tripoli
At a first glance, this mission seems incredibly hard: we are alone against the game's stronghest AI and we are in absolute economic disadvantage. However, our enemy will decide to build a giant castle and will not attack us until late in the game. It will not be hard for us to secure the farmland, the quarries and the iron mines. Once we have done it, we only need to recruit an army strong enough to overcome the Wolf's defences. The weakest spot of his castle is on its left flank, so we may prefer to move all our units there. Crossbowmen and horse archers will be enough to remove his archers from the towers and then we can advance with swordsmen and monks to destroy the only gate which stands in between us and the enemy keep.
