The Historical Castle Competition
These are the results of the The Historical Castle Competition held in December 2003 through to January 2004
Stronghold Heaven is proud to present the Historical Castle
competition. We are asking all you designers out there to put on
your thinking caps, dust off your keyboards and get down to
designing yourself a castle.
Using the original Stronghold, so no Stronghold: Crusader
submissions please, we'd like you to design a Stronghold version
of a castle from the annals of history. 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.
For the winners we can offer a HG t-shirt and every one will get
a spot on the Hall of Fame. Depending on the circumstances, your
entry may also feature in a future issue of Castle of the
Week.
So what exactly are we asking you to do?
- The map and castle should be based, as accurately as possible, on a real historical castle.
- The scenario should be based on a historical event involving that castle, or on a feasible What if?
- A link to a site with information about the Real Castle™ should be provided so we can check the castle's accuracy or, if not available, enough information for us to check out the historicity of it.
- The closing date for entries is 31st January 2004.
- 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.
Good luck!
