And Jon... can you ignite the pitch yourself, first? That seems to be the easiest answer, but I haven't actually played the game...

No, the only way to ignite it is with archers in the castle standing near a certain object (Forgot the name).

My suggestion is controlled loss. Send a few spearman forward to known pitch areas, and slowly dig it up. You will either lose them when they burn up the pitch, or you will be able to dig most of it up before they start shooting. Either way, expect to lose a few spearmen in a brave sacrifice to save the main army. Just charging through pitch is a BAD idea. BAD BAD BAD. That stuff kills everything in seconds...

I didn't play far enough in single player to give precise hints, but I have the Stronghold Strategy Guide somewhere around here I can quote stuff to you from however.

And I never got the expansion because of the lack of Skirmish mode always left me sad in the first game, and I don't recall if the second had a Skirmish mode right now against the computer...

That's the thing though. I tried that, but THOSE spearmen were instead picked off by the archers instead of being fried by the pitch. This guy's friggin' crafty! If I send in, say, a squad of fifty (which, out of a couple hundred, is an acceptable loss) they'll get a wee bit into the moat before they all die from arros loss, because there are a LOT of archers.

And the object you're looking for is a Brazier. Makes any archer's arrow who are next to one on fire. And I can't see the pitch itself, just the fire when they start it.

I have tunnelers, I just need to get the moat cleared to the point where I can use them to collapse part of the wall, but it's not easy...

How many do you have to send in for them to set off the fire instead of pincushioning your troops?

About 100 men or so. And I tried, but apparently, this guy didn't connect all his pitch, SO, if I send in another squad after the first get fried, he lights up a thing right blurdy next to them, and FWOOSH! I am at a complete loss...

You said this is The Pig? Gamefaqs suggests: "Bring in catupalts to destroy his towers and ballistae to destroy the crossbowmen" which makes no sense in the context you've been speaking of...

No, it doesn't, because I'm not given any catapaults, nor ballistae...

Are you reading it for Crusades expansion pack? Because he's in that one too. I looked through Gamefaqs, and they don't have anything for the original Stronghold.

...Was thinking of writing something eventually. :P

How about this? Make any more sense?

This is one TOUGH mutha! It's the same as "Carving a Path", but with more defense and pitch traps! Ooh bummer. Your archers are invaluable. Save often, and try NOT to lose them!

However you won't need your siege equipment. Get your archers to the outcrop and pick off 1/2 of the archers on the walls. Once they are gone, move them THE LONG WAY AROUND to the mound beside the siege equipment. Take out the rest of the archers. carefully inch them up to take out some of the archers on the second wall, if you get fired at retreat and try again. Then move all the way around to the far west, to the rocky terrain. Take out the second half of the defence. Hopefully you'll not have lost too many archers, you'll need them. Once the first two walls of defense are clean, retreat your archers.

Get your pikemen to fill in a channel and hack the wall. You need them also as a distraction, because we're gonna sneak in the archers to the south-east tower. From here, you can take out the round tower archers and other archers lying around.

Now send in some more Pikemen and take out Gatehouse No. 2 - And take out the Pikemen and other nasties hiding behind that wall. The final push, gather all your Macemen together and CHARGE! This final push should consist of at least 100-120 macemen. it will be devastating, and wipe out anything left. There are three loose archers but ignore them and go for Piggy. Kick his butt, and end mission. Now, who wanted the gammon steaks?

Another great thing from I-mockery... Need to visit that site more.

And Jon, what is the exact name of the mission you are on?

That looks like it may be it Knight... I'll give it a try later.

Playing the Crusades thing now. I love their faux arabic when you click on them!
