How to use Richard the Lionheart with Hermann von Salza?

Army Camp: 3 Halberdiers, 8 Champions, 6 Crossbowmen (Arquebusers), 15 Bowmen, 6 Laddermen, 6 Teutonic Knights, 8 Grenadiers, 1 Mamluk. (69 Army Camp space)

First, what is most important:

1) Keep Richard alive for all four uses of his ability (His priority are towers, so you need to be careful);

2) You only need to control Grenadiers by yourself. Let others troop be ran by AI.

For taking the Keep down, direct a group of Teutonic Knights towards the Keep. Teutonic Knights crush the walls easily and won't die before taking the Keep down (assist them with some Bowmen if you want). Use your Grenadiers to take down the towers one by one.

Have some units in hand to do remaining clean-ups in the castle. In most cases, you won't miss your second star.
