Title: Serpent Castle Type: Stronghold Invasion Size: 400x400 Difficulty: Hard Version: 1.0 Author: Derek Jordan (MacemanDerek)
Story:
After coming home from his afternoon walk, King Coppertoe shrugged and rested his arms on his desk. *CRASH* *SLAM* the door comes tumbling off the wall and a village peasant runs in shouting. "Sire! Sire! The springs have gone wild! Sire!". Coppertoe jumps up with a surprised frighten look on his face "What!? What’s wrong with the springs???". The peasant trying to catch his breath quickly exclaimed "The springs where we gather water from have flooded! Our mills can't handle the force of the water, soon it will stream against the castle walls, we can't afford to have the walls collapse!". The king in terror replied "Ok, get the men out there! Do what ever is possible to hold the water back. Hurry! We must be ready for when Duke Volpe attacks".
Down at the campfire peasants were rushing everywhere as a head knight gave them orders. “Start mining men! We need to gather 500 stone to stop the raging springs, get to work!” Hours past of building quarries as every peasant in the kingdom is helping out. Still with little stone, King Coppertoe almost assures it’s a defeat. Practically the water was on the enemy’s team, nothing but a miracle could help them now.
"My liege! Urgent message from Earl Baroom, Duke Volpe’s men have destroyed our outlying war camp, a few of the soldiers retreated back to the castle in time, however hundreds of our men’s bodies lay at the foot of the enemy!” Coppertoe barely believing this pouts with a horrified voice “We have underestimated them, within hours we will all be dead.” He suddenly has a boost of confidence. In a loud deep voice to all of Serpent’s army, king Coppertoe announces. “Duke Bourbon’s army is within a mile from were we stand. Every man, woman, and child will stay with us until the end, we fight for honor! No one will turn back! For Serpent Castle comrades! Victory or Death!!!”

Game play Level:
Beginners/Intermediates - I highly recommend choosing an easier map.
Advanced - Play at ‘Easy’ setting.
Elite - Play at ‘Normal’ setting.
Note: ‘Hard‘ and ‘Very Hard’ are impossible to beat from what I know, but I would like to see someone beat it on these. :)
Tip:
The moat is made of sea, so the only way in is through the front gatehouse. Keep this spot extra protected and you’ll have a better chance at achieving victory.

Note:
This map took me over 150 hours to construct, write the story, and create everything for it, so I hope you download it and play it a least once. Also please! Please! Please! Rate it and give me comments. Good or bad, they both I would like to hear.
