Food management (Stronghold Crusaders)
It is easier to build, manage, and supply Inns rather than food because ale
lasts longer. You can use the extra available farm space to build wheat fields
and mills to make flour. Once you have flour, you can sell it for a profit or
you can make bread and raise your taxes.

Hint: Selling weapons:
You can sell crossbows for more than just wood and can sell swords for more than
raw iron.

Siege equipment on walls *Stronghold Crusaders*
Use the following trick to get siege equipment on walls (not the mounted ones
that are bought, but the ones that you make). Build a Gatehouse connected to a
wall and build stairs far away from this. Send the equipment that you want
through the gate from the outside to the inside. As soon as they are inside the
gate, shut it and they will appear on the wall heading for the stairs. Stop them
where desired (but not on towers as they will disappear), then you have a nice
weapon on a wall.

Mounted Knights Stronghold Crusaders
Mounted Knights are very useful for being a thorn in the enemy's side. Build 20
to 40 of them (depending on the enemy; Rat will only need 20, but Saladin will
need 40). Send them out to destroy enemy farms and resources. Make a destructive
sweep, then return to your castle. This is quite useful for stalling enemy
production.

Extra Peasants -[Stronghold Crusaders ]
Use the following trick to get a lot of extra Peasants (more than the campfire
limit of 24) for buying whatever kind of forces you need from the Mercenary Post
or Barracks. For example, put your Quarries (3 Peasants each) and Oxen to sleep.
There will be that many more in your available amount when buying Swordsman or
something else. Then just turn them back on when you are done and they will go
back to work. This works if you do not want to wait until your Peasants fill up
your campfire again, or you just need them immediately.

Crossbowmen (Stronghold Crusaders)
Crossbowmen are useful for base and offensive measures. You should build up at
least fifteen Crossbowmen at the start. Buy them and place a tower near a
stronghold or farm, depending on the landscape. For offensive tactics, build up
at least 75-100 Crossbowmen, 2 Balista or 8 Assassins and 2 Catapults. Take out
enemy tower first, then move the Baslistas and Crossbowmen in for the kill. Pick
off enemy troops and use Assassins to take the gate house, or have a Siege Tower
so you can get on to the ramparts. Now, have your Crossbowmen shoot the Enemy
Lord while only suffering minimal casualties. *** This does not work well in
multi-player games against human opponents without the support of a lot of
Swordsmen. However, this is still a high risk tactic in multi-player mode as the
opposing lord may wipe out your Crossbowmen. For base defense, when you have
your production up and running, you need to have 2 to 3 large Siege Towers
full of Crossbowmen. This tactic works very well. To get crossbowmen recruits up
and running, build one or 2 dairy farms. Then build 3 Tanners to each farm
and have 3 or more armorers to build crossbows. Have 8 or more peasants
around the campfire. You should have your keep enclosed by now. If you have a
money source, you can buy Crossbowmen. Have many iron mines or quarries for
income. Also, you can have inns and raise taxes. You should also have gardens
for the people.

General tips
If your having a difficult time completing a level, try the following tips.

Try building the basic castle needs, such as a Marketplace, Mercenary Post,
Granary, Stockpiles, and Industry Buildings, then save there. It is easier to
start at that point, in case your placement of some walls or towers do not work
well.
Pause game play whenever you can to save time. It is very important to build
faster than the enemy.
Keep your money making resources (Food, Rocks, Iron, Pitch, or Weapons)
protected, or put walls around them to keep them safe. Capitalize on them
whenever you can.
Create layers of walls around or in front of important towers and other targets
that the enemy likes to knock down.
Horse archers are very useful in this game, especially when aggressing enemy
castles with Mongonels to help put big holes in enemy walls and a few swordsman
as guard dogs.
By immediately placing a group of Woodmans Huts around a enemy base, then
putting them to sleep, you will block the area and prevent him from building
Barracks or a Mercenary Camp. It costs a lot of Wood, but it means they cannot
make any troops and therefore very easy to defeat. *** This does not work on
the pig.
When attacking a castle, concentrate on the enemy Barracks. Once destroyed, try
to block it from being rebuilt by placing troops over its remains. Again, it
makes the enemy easier to defeat without it producing more troops.
The Ballista is good at holding positions far from the security of your home
base. Get a group of about 8 built, with approximately twenty Archers and
stick a couple Trebuchets in the middle of them. The Trebuchets can attack the
enemy castle well protected. If needed, you can always take the 6 Engineers
from them to make 3 more Ballista when the enemy counterattacks. Ballista
are also great at taking out enemy troops on the castle walls, especially fire
throwers.
On several levels there is very little farm land, but you always find at least
one resource available (Stone or Iron). Concentrate on the mining and sell it at
the market for Food.
Have both Archers and Crossbowmen on Towers (five each) for a good defense. Add
a Ballista on the Tower to make it better as they have a huge range and can even
hit attacking Trebuchets.
To protect farms, etc. outside your walls, build a Tower and a Gate next to each
other. This allows you to put Archers in and have them protected from enemy
soldiers entering the Tower. You could also destroy stairs to the tower once
they are in, as an other option.
Pikemen are the best troops due to the combination of speed, defense and attack.
Knights are far too slow to attack with, but make great defenders.
In the most difficult levels when the enemy comes at you very early, try to set
up a trap. Build strong walls around your land except in one area. Leave an
opening and have as many troops as possible covering that area. The enemy often
ignore the undefended walls and go for your "weak spot'" Instead, they walk in
to a wall of Ballista, Archer, and crossbow fire; and a few Knights for good
measure. Do not forget your Lord is also a superb fighter that also can be used.

It is all a matter of timing. Organize waves of attacking troops, attack with
one group, then send in reinforcements. When blocking the enemy from rebuilding
its Barracks, your troops will not last long. While they do the blocking, have
other sets attacking.
If you are having trouble with some of the 1st levels of the crusader trail,
where you have more money than your opponent, try this. Build a Granary and a
few necessary things like a Market. Now, build a Mercenary Post. Train a lot of
Assassins and attack your opponent immediately. This will save you some time, so
you can get to the higher levels faster.

If you are stuck in the level where the Wolf has 40000 credits, and you only
7000, when you have built your base and are able to beat his attacks (easy if
you know how to defend), his castle is enormous. Look carefully and you will see
that if you put a Rolling Tower against his wall to the northeast, you can get
up with about 150 Macemen. You will be able to maneuver through his castle.

Superior numbers are everything. This is a very economic game. A stronger
economy supports a stronger military. It is a lot cheaper to have too many
Archers on your walls than just enough. Slaughtering the enemy before most of
the troops reach the walls saves you a lot of stone and Archers in the long run.

The 1st priority for any map is defense. If the funds are there, build 15 to
20 Archers or Crossbowmen (depending on the enemy; the Rat never uses armored
troops, so archers are good enough) and enough Lookout Towers to house them
(five to a tower) near resources that would normally be far away from the keep.
Use the Gatehouse strategy or put Pikemen at the bottom of the stairs to protect
them. You only need large towers for Ballista and Mangonels, and Lookout Towers
for Archers (because of range) for castle defense. Once your castle is well
defended enough to remain unattended, build several Trebuchets just out of range
of enemy Mangonels atop their towers. Send about 10 Archers and Crossbowmen
(again depending on enemy) and 10 swordsmen per Trebuchet as protection. From
here, you can pummel the enemy walls, let them rebuild, and do it again. He will
send troops to destroy the Trebuchets, but your Archers will pick them off
easily. Keep replenishing the Trebuchets and accompanying soldiers. After a
while, he will run out of money, troops, and resources. You can then walk in the
huge gap in his walls.



Lookout towers (Stronghold Crusaders)
Lookout towers are very useful, as they give good missile unit defense. Build an
army of 20 Archers and select 5 of them. Set the game to slow speed and send the
5 archers to the tower. Quickly select another 5 Archers and send them in before
the others get there. Do the same for the other 10 to get 20 archers on a small
tower.

Mangonels *Stronghold Crusaders*
Tower-mounted Mangonels can prove to be good siege weapons. In many maps, the
keeps start in close proximity to each other. Build your walls out as far as
they can go. Place round towers and lookout towers on the wall facing your
opponent's castle. Fill them with Archers and Mangonels. In many cases, you can
hit the enemy's walls with the Mangonels from you own. Also, if you Archers can
reach their walls, you can clear his Archers from your own walls.

Archers (Stronghold Crusaders)
It is cheaper to buy archer bows and make Archers out of your barracks than it
is to hire them from the mercenary post. They both have the same attack rate,
defense rate, movement speed, and range.
