This is a New Campign I'm working on, you'll find the story in the mission but i can't reveal anymore as you'll learn about it later in the campiagn. The only thing i can tell you is that you'll be facing four enemy lords and there is eyecandy on the map. This is my second map and it is beatable on very hard.
Should be played on hard or very hard for the real experience.
I think I fixed the problem of the workers getting stuck in the corner and I know i have fixed the problem of the spearmen stuck in the cave.
I've decided not to postpone the second chapter and it should be coming out soon. |

I'll review later, but here's a quick report :p
I noticed that workers got stuck in the corner of the stockpile making them not being able to do there jobs which therefore brings you food to -8 popularity which made it extremely hard to make any new troops. But that wasn't really nesscesary as you get enough troops and the way that I made my troops positioning all the eneny done was take down 1 tower :p
But, if this is your first map I am bloody amazed at the work you put into this! My first map was a few trebuchets and about 10 spearmen.. no scenery what-so-ever!
But the pavements and various eye-candy tricks used were just excellent for a first try!
Review coming soon! :p |

Playability: 3
There was no problems with invasions just staying at the signposts.. but there were problems with the pavements and the quarry with the siege tower.
The pavements needed to be lowered 5 or 6 times for workers to cross them and not get stuck in the corners or such.
And the problem with the quarry is that some spearmen destroyed the siege tower and then the spearmen just stood where they were and also a group of knights were running around the quarry hole and it required some people to move towards them and kill them :p
Apart from that it was all good, easy to navigate :)
Balance: 3
I thought that you got abit too much troops to begin with and all aranged nicely, spread around and easyily moveable. You got a bit of stone to repair your towers/gatehouses, but not an option to re-build any walls or anything really :p
The invasion forces (on normal mode) were too easy, unfortunately :p
Creativity: 5
You used some stronghold editor tricks to create some things that I haven't seen before, and that nets a 5 for me.
Map Design: 4
A very nice looking town and alot of great eye-candy used around it, also the terraining outside of the castle such as the mountains were really good, but maybe you should remove the beach terrain and replace it with normal land, and the sea was abit plain. Maybe look at mission 1 or the last mission and study the sea and try to get some ideas from it :p
Story/Instructions: 4
The story itself was great, nice storyline for the beginning of a campaign. Only thing though, you need to use speech marks ("Hello," Bob said. "who are you?") just a bad example :p
Anyway, keep up the good story work ;)
Additional Comments:
Remember about the pavements expecially. Just keep on working and you will be an extremely great designer, I'm sure! |

First you go to utilitys or misseclenious files and look for stronghold map downloader, once you download the map that you want, unzip it and drag the map icon to the map downloader. |
