This is very likely the hardest fighting map ever made for KaM Remake (so far). I have posted replays on knightsandmerchants.net/forum/ of me beating this in the past. However, this video shows how I play (live), what I focus on, etc., throughout the entire game.

Basically this is a fighting map with 60 waves, where there is a 90 second break in between the waves. (But as the game progresses, that break seems shorter, because the waves get larger.) In order to win, you have to kill about 10,000 troops, but your given less than 1/10 of that (you're given recruits each wave). Therefore, you must find ways to have minimal casualties so that you can build up your army to keep up with the increasing AI army.

At the beginning, you're given a small army and you only have to fight small armies, but as the game goes on, you will be given more recruits and weapons (iron weapons are given later) and will be "expected" to fight larger armies. So the difficulty is clearly very easy at the start, and it remains easy just long enough for you to build up an army of 400-500 or so to face thousands and thousands of iron armored units . . . more than 40% of all of the AI troops you fight attack you in the last 15 minutes of the game (waves 51-60) !

Assuming you can eventually beat the game, it lasts at least an hour and a half as does this game.

I primarily uploaded this to show how it really is possible to beat this map without reloading saves or cheating, and the fact that the provided replay is NOT broken should be enough proof that I won it without any save reloads, because reloading even ONE save (in r5503 and r6720, at least) with this map will break the replay .

I literally practiced this map for over 2 months before I beat it. And I was the FIRST to beat it (with or without save reloads). In fact, there was/is a 4 player co-op version of this map, and the best result was that they lasted through wave 54, but started to lose at wave 55. By the time wave 60 arrived, 1/3 of the map was filled with undefeated AI troops!

And I made a 2 player version of this map, and explained how much weapons and recruits each player gets vs what players get in the 4P version and the SP version.

Lastly, I played this particular game in Remake version r5503 (which the team of 4 did as well), where the effectiveness/deadliness of the arrows from bowmen and crossbowmen were at a minimum against knights and sword fighters. I decided to play it in this (hard) version when thinking to record for this video (I already beat this map 4 times before with no save reloads before this win), because I show setups and tactics that, since they work so well in this version, will surely work well in later versions of the remake.
