My Fortress Faced Its Deadliest Raid Yet... | Going Medieval

They brought siege weapons... and my mountain fortress on Going Medieval's hardest difficulty is about to face its biggest test yet. In Part 3 of my Going Medieval Lone Wolf survival series, our colony has grown significantly — but so have the threats. Larger and more dangerous raids are now arriving with onagers, ballistas and heavily armed raiders, putting our carefully designed hillside fortress to the ultimate test. This episode continues my Going Medieval hardest difficulty survival challenge, where I explain the strategies, mechanics and decisions behind building a successful colony on Lone Wolf difficulty. Alongside the action, I share plenty of practical Going Medieval tips and tricks to help you survive larger raids, manage settlers and build a stronger defensive settlement. In this episode: 🏰 Expand our hillside fortress with new buildings and defensive structures ⚔️ Fight increasingly dangerous raids on Lone Wolf difficulty 💥 Defend against onagers and ballistas for the first time 🏹 Use our elevated walls, towers and defensive choke point to rain arrows and crossbow bolts onto attackers 👥 Welcome more settlers and expand our growing colony 💀 Deal with the devastating consequences when some of our settlers don't survive the battle ⛪ Build a much larger church for our growing settlement ⚒️ Expand our blacksmith and improve our production capabilities 📚 Learn useful Going Medieval tips, strategies and mechanics throughout the episode Our fortress is designed around a simple defensive principle: force raiders along a single narrow approach toward the main gate, with deep pits on either side and defenders positioned high above them. But as the raids become stronger and siege weapons enter the battlefield, we'll find out whether this strategy can actually survive the hardest difficulty.
