I have a few strategies I use myself when playing this map, but I'll leave it to everyone to find out for themselves what they think are the smartest moves.

I hope you enjoy it, as always. This map has been finished for overa year! It was first intended for the Crusader Campaign, which is now dead.

I think you've missed out an end 'a' tag after 'The Lost Estate' :)
This map should do brilliantly! :D |

My playing experience was exactly opposite of Sulis'. Instead of a nerve-bending siege, I got a movie to watch. I followed Vauban's advice in defending in a siege, which was to pull back from open, indefensble land (outer walls) to more defensive land (inner citadel), taking every soldier with me. So I did just that. The Ai lost all its power, as soon as the first gatehouse fell, every enemy charged in - to meet a human wall bristling with pikes. Once my pikes were dead, the enemy were burnt to a crisp by the pitch ditches, and the crossbowmen were shredded immediately.
I suspect that when you guys play, you try to hold on to every last bit of fortification you have - the siege might have worked well like that, but fell to proper strategy. My crossbowmen were too numerous, and their army lacked siege equipment.
I don't have time to make a full rating, here's my ideas:
Playability: 3.5
Balance: 2.0
Creativity: 4.5
Map design: 4.5
Story: 5.0
Average: 3.9
Sorry, but it really was too easy...

Actually I am aware of that you can do, what you describe here, and there was no way I could think of to remove it. But if you decide not to retreat, the map is much more enyojable. |

Dude, I frickin' love this map!!! I love the levels on the castle, they were awesome! The attacks were brilliant too, they were numerous amounts of troops, not too many, but enough to pose a threat and give me a good challenge. I must of played this map about 10 times already, using different tactics each time!
The map design was truely awesome, but I have to ask, how long did it take to get the entire area Hymalayan level!? Must of taken ages!! I love the valley and everything else! Awesomee!
The story to this too is Brilliant! Absolutely fantastic!
And I have to thank you for inspiring me on my map 'The Final Stand'. Thanks!
And i'd love for you to review it for me. >.<
Bloody hell, I might as well have reviewed this map, if I ever did, i'd give it 5. |

I did like Artofmath, only I took it one step further.
And indeed after carefully placing every crossbowman and pikeman on the keep, you only have to lose the knights, one or two oil engineers and maybe a couple of pikeman (literally). Playing at very hard.
If not for the persistent but still-standing companies of crossbowmen you have to get rid off to be victorius I would have lost only those.
Indeed it's easy, some may call it cheating, but it's a fun movie to watch!
