Hi all,
So, I've decided to actually finish a playthrough of this game, but I need help with completing it--defending the castle.
I seem to get stuck at the area where the player character gets too tired to fight and you have to make a choice about setting an example and try to fight it out, rally your men or... I forgot what the other choice was. In any case, the first time I encountered the castle I made the wrong defencive strategy which only accounted for the charging enemies, and they were able to get through easier. Next time, I created the berricade, and that was stronger than holes in the ground for unsuspecting horse hooves.
After that segment, the enemy comes at you again, and you have the choice to once again rally your men and attack from all sides. Seems like a logical choice to me, but it was for naught. That dang commander Lieutenant Cazarosta that has a grudge against the player decides to save you, and when you least expect it, kill you.

So, what is the best way to beat this chapter? I'll keep trying, and I'll go to the CoG forums and ask the author himself if none of you guys have beaten it lol. I feel determined to end this war.
If Cazarosta didn't have a years worth of Lieutenant service under his belt, the player could take command and we wouldn't have this unfortunate issue of betrayal.
