Sorry for bumping this thread (again). But I still have problems with this mission.

Have there been changes in the remake versions?

Welcome to the forums

What problem are you having with the mission? Yes things have been changed in the Remake version, for a start we added extra troops for the human player because it was too hard to win otherwise (in the original game archers are more powerful than in the Remake, and the AI behaves a bit differently).

I did that misson 2 days ago.
First of all, the axe fighters from the enemies retreat after your troops have died. So focus on killing as many barbarians as possible.
Secondly I had 9 towers. Fully loaded, and build in a square in front of my storehouse wich they focus.
Thirdly, if you explore a bit you know that the 2nd barbarian troop comes from the top left. If you place a single archer in such a way that it leaves the first troops alone. Then you can kite the 2nd wave till your towers are restocked.

I also have a save game just past winning that horrible part of the mission if you can't seem to win it

How can I see which (remake) version I have?

It's displayed at the top of the main menu. The latest public version is r5503.

It sounds like this mission is a bit too hard at the moment, you should be able to kill all of the enemies that attack you at the start after a few attempts.

If install the remake, how do I start it? Cause I have a feeling that I play the original, not the remake (think there is something as V1.6 or something like that in the top0

Did you build a school or not? Because I focus on that first and thén the towers. Coulnd't manage to build them up all before the first wave arrived so my serves were beeing blocked aswell > no refill. (I placed the towers in the 'gap').

If you made a desktop shortcut or start menu shortcut when you installed the Remake (those are checkbox options in the installer) then you can use those to launch it (the shortcut will be called "KaM Remake" with a mostly white icon).

Otherwise, browse to the folder where you installed the Remake (e.g. C:\KaM Remake\) and run KaM_Remake.exe

Yes first a school, you need to train more peasants and workers to build faster.
Then I build the roads, somehow building the roads first and then adding the towers works faster then building tower for tower.

I'll add screens shots tonight or tomorrow
Don't forget to leave enough stone for a road and a stone mason. And enough wood for a forester and woodworker. Made that mistake once :p

Thanks I will check that tonight when I am home.

I will try to build the roads first. But maybe just playing the actual remake will fix it. (Had some trouble with others missions as well, which according to this forum shouldn't be that hard. This is probably the reason)

Actually, this mission might be harder in the remake because the archers are nerfed because of multilayer balancing (i read in a post)

The remake is pretty darn hard and requires at least the mentioned things to clear the first attack
