Robber Baron | Learning Campaign - Delivering Justice Stronghold: Crusader II Guide

Win:

• Time passed: 30 days

Lose:

• Dead donkeys: 5
• Your Lord dies

Probably the most difficult mission in the learning campaign, especially if you want to get the achievement associated with it. You will again control the Crusader side. Your goal is to protect a supply delivery - you need to prevent the enemy from killing more than 4 donkeys. If the enemy manages to kill 5, the mission will be aborted.

The enemy will be attacking from the North...

Start the mission by building several Wood Camps, 3 Apple Orchards, 2 Pig Farms, 2 Dairy Farms, 3 Wheat Farms and 1 Hop Farm. Afterwards, you should invest in additional Stone Quarries - the stones will be needed to build towers used to protect the donkeys. Start the production of ale / candles and build Church / Inn.

During this mission you will have to deal with the enemies from two sides:

• South-West - the enemies will be attacking with more numerous, but weaker troops, such as Archers, Man-at-Arms, Macemen or Conscripts. You should counter them with similar units - build Archers, Crossbowmen and Macemen to stop them.
• North - from here the enemy will be attacking with smaller groups, but consisting of stronger units, like Swordsmen. To fight off the beginning attacks you should use your Macemen.

...as well as from the South.

Your main goal is to build a wall from the Northern side, together with a couple of Grand Towers, which should be mounted by Archers and Crossbowmen. Additionally, you should remember about making additional troops, which must be sent to the East - your towers won't be able to reach there, so you should must rely on infantry. You should build Macemen, Crossbowmen, Archers, Templar Knights and Sergeant at Arms; all the other units aren't that effective.

Protect the donkeys at all costs - it's especially important with enemy Archers, who can attack them from a long distance.
