At the height of its power the Roman Empire was vast, stretching from the deserts of Africa to the borders of northern England.
Over one quarter of the world's population lived and died under the rule of the Caesars.
In the winter of 180 A.D., emperor Marcus Aurelius' twelve-year campaign against the barbarian tribes in Germania was drawing to an end.
Just one final stronghold stands in the way of Roman victory and the promise of peace throughout the Empire.
I created this map based on the movie 'Gladiator'. It is the first fight you will see and I recreated it on stronghold. You can see everthing, the knights who enter the front in the beginning. The general Maximus and his knights running tru the fire (but in the movie they dont die >.< ). You can see the forest burning and the archers behind the wooden walls. You also can see emperor Marcus on the hill watching the fight.
This map has been created to get a 'interactive movie' you can control the kata's, order the pikeman and try to let Maximus NOT ride tru the fire. The story tells us this fight was easy to win so I made it easy to win. Actualy you dont have to do anything just sit back and watch.
You have to play this map at easy couse if you take normal of hard some of youre troops just disapear and some of youre kata's don't work, Marcus is gone and Maximus dont wonna fight.
If you didn't see the movie you can see the first fight here:

If you just sit back and watch you wil have 21% of your troops lost. Try to do at least better as 15% troops lost.
