Driven out of your home by the harsh winter, you arrive by sea at the Pig's manor. You decide to take refuge in some nearby ruins while waiting for reports of the surrounding terrain.
After some scouts return, they report that the Pig's forces are not strong here. Also, they report some friendly, oppressed monks are in the area. Liberate them before moving in and enlist their help in taking the castle, or just settle matters yourself.
After capturing the castle, prepare to go farther inland. You need to obtain some swords and sets of armor. Obviously, it will take some time to gather your forces, so you cannot immediately continue inlead after obtaining the required goods. Don't just stand there; move! The Wolf has been sending scouts, and will be sure to amass an enormous army to attack you if you delay.
I hope you have as much fun playing as I did creating!
Thanks for the review puppets. I will get around to reviewing yours soon (I'm playing it right now and so far enjoying it).
I'm glad you enjoyed the playability, though I probably have just the simple joy of Stronghold to thank for that. ;) This is one of my earlier maps that I never invested too much time in, and, as a result, is only slightly above average. I hope to put more time and effort into my maps in the future (as you suggested), hopefully improving the quality of my maps.
