Hello, I know its been a long time but I came back to this game and I am still stuck in the same scenario. I would like to know where in the steam files are the "save game" file I can post to show what I am dealing with still.

You would have to tell me how to upload a saved game as I am not familiar with the process. Edit: Tried the werewolf strategy with 35 werewolves. got the Lord down to 2/3 health after only about 7 made it to the castle fighting past the knights and archers. The Lord then, if i'm not mistaken, was healing. could not muster enough gold in time to launch a second assault of that magnitude before the north crushed me.

Everything you see in that castle is there at the beginning. And i have tried throwing werewolves over that castle wall a number of times. What happens is they get held up by the two knights towards the back. and even if I could build enough werewolves to overrun them the two northern castles just turn around and launch huge raids that destroy my northern wall. I'm talking a good sized number of swordsmen army catapults pummeling plus one of the round table heroes leading the charge as well as a wizard just nuking me. Ill try again though with werewolf catapults.

My Version is 1.5 as far as I can tell through the steamapp>common>StrongholdLedgends>StrongholdLedgends. I do not know what version that is in the video however. And if they did re-balance it, they left the player with a nearly impossible scenario. Given that you have no heavy siege equipment (I.E Siege Towers, Cats, Battering rams) And not enough time to build a significant force to deal with the extra swordsmen/Crossbowmen on the walls; I would say firefly was indeed in the error.

Alrighty, thanks for the promotion. Thank you for looking at Transylvania. So first: no the long march is not the map I am referring to.? Here is the Vanilla Southern Castle that is lightly defended that you probably recognize:? Start at about 4:10 Here is what I am dealing with:

I would post an image and a You tube video link. But the forum doesn't allow me to post links for some reason.

I have been using the werewolf Catapults. It is actually part of the said strategy. The Walk-through above is the exact strategy I have been using. However: 1. If you shoot the werewolves over the wall, the archers cut them to pieces. 2. in order to avoid the werewolves getting cut to pieces you need to secure the wall with the creepers 3. the creepers get killed by the swordsmen (which do not exist in all walk-through videos I have seen. as described above) This overall strategy is indeed described in Lord_Chris' Link. problem is the castle specified for Lord_Chris' link is not the same castle that I have described in my first post. Hence my problem. Bottom Line: the map looks different from the video walkthrough.

Ok so I am playing the evil campaign; I made it to Transylvania and I put it on Easy mode: (the one to the left?). Now I have looked at a few strategy guides; even videos that show it played out but, I am seeing something much different then what the videos show. In this level there are 3 castles 2 North and 1 South. It is suggested that I take the one that is South. In the video it shows a mounted catapult and a decent number of archers in the south castle. But when I play: I see no catapult, twice the number of archers (and crossbowmen) AND Swordsman on the walls. the strategy calls for using creepers to take over the wall, the towers, and the gate. I have run the strategy multiple times and the Swordsmen thwart my creepers every time. I end up besieging the castle to the south longer then I have to (with no heavy siege equipment) until the two to the north wipe me out. Am I doing it wrong? Is the map somehow glitched? Has anyone else experienced this?
