I really can't be bothered to slog through this bottleneck again and again just so I can access a few later missions and wring some more fun out of this old title. They're an intermission at best, cause the real fun for me are the defense and economics aspects. Point is, I don't even like the assault missions much. Frustratingly, I can't even seem to manage it with the suggested strategies, even on easy. Being finnicky with arrow range (which doesn't even appear to work post-patch) or tunnelling in past the NE corner of the moat, without ever actually using the ram as the game itself suggests. The leap in difficulty seems pretty game-breaking to me, frankly, and reading the various walkthroughs suggests that the only way to win is through exploits. 1.2 which, unfortunately, means the crazy-hard version of mission 15 (Carve a Path). I only played the demo of the original Stronghold but loved it, so I jumped at the chance to pick up the whole collection on Steam sale recently. I would like some help too though, if possible. That's fine, direct your scorn at me as you see fit. I hesitate to bring up the subject of cheats because a glance at some of the other threads indicates that a lot of you are hardcore strategists that frown on such cowardly shenanigans.

Any chance of a working cheat to get around it and back to the fun?** **Bored of getting smashed by the broken mission 15 in version 1.2. Hey all, sorry for the wall of text as a first post, here's a TL DR:
