This is an arena type battle where Blue and Orange Lords both select 15 of their finest knights for a jousting tournament. each lines up one knight at a time and sends them hurtling down the jousting run. Winner is the Lord with most knights remaining after 15 rounds. Great training for your Knights. A different variation on Stronghold. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to post comments with suggestions for any improvements you might think of. Look out for the burning bush.
Thanks for the comments, this new version includes trees, stone and iron essential to the multiplayer experience. Can kinda be played as a regular game too so enjoy.
This is great fun map. if you like arena then you will enjoy this one. There`s some really wierd stuff too like hte Purple Lord inside a strange walled enclosure. You basically fight with Knights on horseback in front of a crowd. If you got a good connection put the speed up. It is not a good idea to make any archers as they start firing off all over. Not a castle build. Very interesting variation. We managed to play 4 tournaments in half an hour.

Good fun game. We really enjoyed a session jousting. The crowd violence was great. A few suggestions are maybe there should be some resources on this map like at least some wood maybe some stone and iron too. Also Green lord is easy to kill which makes the stands and arena dissapear. Maybe he should be indestructable like the purple Lord behind a magic wall. However a lot of fun can be had on this map as long as you build a market cos theres no wood. We played a variation where we filled the stands with archers and the jousters had to run the gauntlet. that was fun. Good map. Recommended.

Thanks for your suggestions Raider. I will include them in a version 2 of this map. Trees are useful. I didn`t think of it as a regular stronghold game. Any more ideas most welcome. Look out for my new map The Great Ram Race, testing now.
