In Mission 44 you face six opponents, two versions each of the Pig, the Snake, and the Rat. They each begin with 2000 gold, and you receive 4000. This is not an especially difficult mission. It's rather straightforward, but it will take time to continually build up your army to attack each of your opponents.
My favorite strategy to use when I begin with more gold than the enemy is to immediately buy enough macemen to take them out before they can build their castle walls. I tried that in this mission, but it didn't work. Everyone in this game begins with more troops than in most missions: you will start with 50 archers, 12 swordsmen, and 5 knights. I did defeat the first enemy, but as he also had a stronger defending army, the cost was too high for me to want to continue with that plan.
Restarting the game, here is my strategy: Build up your economy first. Placement in this mission is ideal: you have a corner of the map to yourself with easy access to wood, iron, stone, and farmland. I used my initial financial advantage to set up weapon production: 3 shops of each type. To defend the farms and quarries, I set up a series of look-out towers and manned them with archers, crossbowmen, and Arabian archers. Place 1 or 2 macemen, pikemen or swordsmen at their bases to prevent the enemy from climbing up and killing your archers. Once everything is set up, it's just a matter of waiting for the weapons and gold (via stone) to roll in so that you can build your army. While waiting, build an engineers' guild and make several catapults.
I attacked each of the opponents in the same way:
1 - Set your catapults to take down the walls. Be sure to defend them with archers and other troops, or they'll be destroyed by enemy macemen and crossbowmen. This is a good mission to fling cows, as the enemy troops seemed to gather outside the castle walls.
2 - Send slaves to set fire to their fields, and spearmen to stop their stone production.
3 - Once the walls are down, send in your troops to kill the enemy lord. I had about 15 spearmen, 25 macemen, 25 swordsmen and 25 pikemen each time.
Except for Snake, Duc Beauregard, I basically worked counterclockwise. This was my order of attack:
1 - Rat "The Stoat" (aqua) - July of year 3
2 - Snake, Duc Beauregard (blue) - January of year 6 (I attacked him second, as he had become quite a nuisance sending troops to set fire to my quarries)
3 - Pig, Duc Truffe (orange) - August of year 10
4 - Pig, the Duke of Pigsbury (yellow) - July of year 14
5 - Rat, Duc de Puce (purple) - December of year 15
6 - Snake, Earl Doubletongue (gray) - October of year 17
Between the last two attacks the gold and weapons were streaming in. I built my army up to six catapults and 200 troops, deciding on overkill to trounce the final Snake.
