The 2nd Stronghold Historical Castle Competition
As designing a historical castle was the most requested contest idea in The Jousting Ground, Stronghold 2 Heaven is proud to present the 2nd Historical Castle Competition.
Unlike previous contests, entries in this contest may be submitted from the original Stronghold, Stronghold Crusader, or Stronghold 2 games. If sufficient entries are submitted from each game, then we may decide to have a winner for each.
We have selected 7 castles for you to choose from (including 3 Crusader castles), and to get you started have found some historical information and floor plans on each of them.
Carreg Cennon in Wales Crusader castles: Margat (Marqab) in Syria Your entry should be as close to your chosen castle as possible, but can be of any of the available mission types. We'd like you to base any scenario details on historical events, but we're open to some creative 'What if?' scenarios as well. So what exactly are we asking you to do? The map and castle should be based, as accurately as possible, on one of the 7 historical castles listed above. Other rules and notes: The closing date for entries is 30th November 2005. Entries should be sent to Good luck! [This message has been edited by Kester (edited 09-27-2005 @ 01:25 AM).]
Warkworth in England
Harlech in Wales
Conwy in Wales
Krak de Chevaliers in Syria
Mamure Kalesi in Turkey
The scenario should be based on a historical event involving that castle, or on a feasible What if?
All scenario categories can be used.
We will only accept scenarios that have not been uploaded before, but you can submit a scenario based on a castle already featured on Stronghold Heaven.
Entries will be judged by the SH Staff on accuracy, historical merit and (of course) playability.
Second prize: choice of HG t-shirt or hat
