Story:
After 20 years of grueling war against the French, German, and English armies, the once great empire known as the Akalong empire has been reduced to a dot on a map just for believing in the new book(the New Testament). The Pope of Christian Europe and the Holy Roman Emperor agree, the Akalongeans are heretics of the cross. They have launched a new crusade against us. Before our great architects and engineers from the city of Rolinbon have designed a new cargo ship/warship, the size of an island. Able to hold hundreds, even thousands of people. Even capable of holding tons and tons of supplies. It is truly a great ship by theory. Nicknamed by the local lord, the floating city. We currently have those designs, and our builders have built that ship. Now we must load up the ship with supplies and depart for new lands. But we can't just do that, English, French, and German armies are approaching. We need a castle. Luckily the king has already made a castle here. It is magnificent and powerful. It has a 2 layer paramented wall with lookout towers, and a second 1 layer paramented wall with square towers. Unluckily, we do not have much soldiers. Most were killed in the last battle, the battle for the 3 rivers. We were only capable to ration 5 archers and 1 crossbowmen to each square tower and 3 archers to each lookout tower. We were also lucky enough to have built 4 towers to guard the far away deposit of stone. But unluckily, the only deposits, although massive, amounts of iron is to the far corner of the map. Also the king has ordered you not to build any towers or walls to conserve stone for the next castle in which he will build in the new land. Time is at the essence as you must gather enough supplies to start a empire by yourself is a daunting task but must be done. Good luck, and god speed.
Hints&Tips:
Religion is the main focus of the events that will take place in the game. If you do not achieve the required amount of blessed people, the people will convert back to catholicism, and revolt.
Please don't remove stone from the docks and ship because then it won't look good and you will miss the point of it.
You MUST gather the required materials by 1210 unless you want to face 500 troops every month.
Not for the slowest computers, at one point over 1000 enemies appear instantly.
Author's notes:
This is the result of 5 hours of non stop map making. This is also the finest(in my opinion) map I have ever created. Although it is still an defense map like most of my other maps, I have taken the advice of many reviewers and commenters. This is by far the LARGEST in file size single map I have ever created( 950 KB or close to 1 MB!) Enjoy, and comment and review!
