Stronghold Crusader Extreme HD - Amazing battle against Lionheart Richard 1st

Computer has an advantage regarding money:
Human Lord only 6000
Computer mission 24000
This makes it much harder to win this mission because you will be attacked very quickly

This is a crazy mission because this king is fight with all his forces, and his strategy is amazing. Beside that at the beginning he is attaching you constantly with Swordsman and Pikeman soldiers and archers on one side, and the other side, lots of Slingers and Slaves to burn your building, so you need to have a good strategy on this mission if you want to win.

What I did step by steps:
1. Create storeroom for food and some food,
2. Must create some horse archers and prepare for battle also fight with wild animals around the castle, in this mission there are lots of lions on the map.
3. Must create some Ballista weapons, because are very useful against against Swordsman and Pikeman soldiers, Why? The answer is simple, because their arrows are bigger that other arrows plus they are fire arrows and they can penetrate soldiers' armor more easily. So for this you have to create first Engineer's Guild house then create Engineers, after select two engineers and create how many Ballista you can.
4. Meanwhile you have to use bonusses abilities from Extreme, for which I used rain stones to destroy soldiers manufactures of the enemy king. He has four, you have to focus on Barracks first, because these are producing Swordsman and Pikeman soldiers, after you destroy these two you can increase your kingdom power easily.
5. Meantime you can create some Assassin soldiers they will help you to defend your king from inside while the other soldiers fight outside the castle.

For the final war of this mission I prepared a impressed army as bellow:
106 archers on the walls to defend the kingdom
217 knight soldiers (The knight is a powerful unit, who possesses powerful attack and strong armour. He automatically spawns on horseback when recruited, and cannot dismount. Even so, he is devastating against light armor and to buildings, further bolstered by his capability of quickly crossing the map with unmatched speed.)
527 Pikeman soldiers
530 horse archers

With such an army, your win is guaranteed!
