Le Loi last 6th mission hard

[Famrir]

Any tips on how to beat this on hard?The entire vietnamese campaign has been a challenge,but on the last one they really kick my ass and i think the AI is cheating.

AI must cheat so they can be powerful
When you win the initial battle, order the forces at your right base to destroy the right cyan base, and breach blue from there. No need to pay a lot on the left. It is base on which side you think should be paid more to defeat.
Mine strategy is 50 rattan archers with castle in front of blue base and 5 trebs, hussar and knights, 10 elephants. Actually you can even ignore the cyan base on the left. With 100 villagers then you will have no problems.
Keep training cav and rattan archers, even though cyan and blue may attack you from left but i do not think it will be a problem with your initial army

Will try it out thanks :)

Edit:Took me nearly 3 hours,but it worked.Made 2 groups of 60 rattan archers backed by monks and trebuchets.

Make a castle on the left side and send half the Elephants there, mass Rattans and place Stables in front of the castle so that their trebs don't start working ot your castle instead of wooden buildings. Use light cav to take out siege and heal up in the Castle with Herbal Medicine. With 50 Rattans and 5+ trebs you can set out and steamroll the left side, just keep sending more rattans, trebs and light cav to replace losses.

It is actually on you.
Make sure you secure both side in the first few stages.
When I played I focused little bit more on left. Cuz it is teal is ez to be fallen apart. You are required to keep build military buildings when rushing. Then you can easily sack teal. Once teal abdicates, the game become less tricky.
I prefer imp skirms, ratans and bbc with the support of bombard towers and castles.

Ty all for the suggestions :) i managed to defeat them.

1) Immediately attack the cyan player on the right, destroy as much as possible.
2) Build a castle on that side, garrison a few melee cav units to destory rams or trebs that may attack it.
3) build lots of units to defend the left side until you can build 2 castles, skirmishers counter their chu ko nu, pikemen/halbs counter their cav, so trash units are actually a good option.

Easy from there. Your starting army is large enough that you can seriously slow them down, to make sure you arent defending on 2 fronts

I finished this on hard on AOE HD. Now that was hard. Endless unit spam. I had to check If I got the gold medal at the end on this one. I couldn't believe how easy it was. Attack first and destroy the eastern base, then make a detour through north and destroy everything in your path. Don't go yet for the main base, just castles close to the hills. Destroy them, destroy his monastery and steal his relic, the one on the hill. Get about 10-15 trebs. If you can't handle the unit flow, make castle drops where the battle is tightest to relieve it. Get endless unit spam of light cav+Imp skirms. They won't be able to hold forever. Also get as many rattans as possible.
