Are Apothecaries USELESS? Apothecary explained - Stronghold Crusader

Do you think they deserve the worst spot in the tier list? Let me know in the comments!

The only reason for me to build it is because the building looks really beautiful with a lot of greens. I just love it so much, especially to compliment the look of the gardens

i really love the healign that was added with the patch. its like a medical station u can call your units back when they done a job.

Glad to see that there are still people who play this game and make such great videos about it.

We need those apothecaries in the real world today

[LynSain]

That ending tho.
So many patients, but only few doctors.
Even if they overworked themselves, they still can't save everyone.
Hard reality.

Thanks for noting their usefulness in UCP. I find that, depending on how many & what quality of troops you're using, they can become extremely useful.
Plus, they also heal the Lord, albeit extremely slowly. Can save your hide though, sometimes!

Love the fact that this Stronghold channel is well and very much alive.

I think disease should be heavily buffed. Make them spread from peasant to peasant, soldier to soldier, and everytime someone's killed by disease it should spread more rampantly, like virus sniper in Yuri's revenge

In stronghold 2, he heals lord and its amazing, fire fly knew that he most do something

[patrickvasconcelos]

Yeah it has always me a wish Apothecaries could either raise the quality of life of peasents or assist in healing.

if possible sir, this is also true for Stronghold 2 as well? I always found Apothecaries to be even stranger on 2

[hebonky]

I like how in future games, the apothecary can heal units, good if you have really expensive units you don't want to lose.

There's no such a thing as a useless information, when it comes to Stronghold 😤

[iordanchis]

Plague events should be a thing in skirmishes. Just like diseases being spread by gong and rats in Stronghold 2.

[fadhilyudistira]

I think you should extend the tier list from S to D into S to F. your arrangements are top heavy, maybe we can sort them out.

on the topic of disease, you got right on it. not many players would opt to build dairy farms just to throw the cows around.

[solitarysurreal]

I only recently discovered the benefits of starting plague in enemy castles. Seems to be a lot more prevalent in Stronghold, then Crusader! And only really seems to be effective if you have a lot of patience 🤔

[theoutsider]

Could you do a video about laddermen and tunnelers and whether they're useless or have some uses?

[niklas]

They heal units in the UCP patch. So they are not useless anymore

[smansab]

I used to build an area of Apothecaries and Cathedrals as a kind of wealthy district in Castle Builder. Lol. 😅

[The-AmericanPatriot]

too be honest i always forget about this building
