Iron Hill
On the hill you will find your keep, around the hill you won't find much but there is just enough, your economy will be slow, food hard to get, trees are few and far between, lots of stone only half if you want the iron.
The water that once flowed here left behind a few uncovered rocks and some iron, but now only the wind blows the sand around trying to cover that which once was, and of course the Infidals and Arabians who will do what ever it takes to rid this land of you and your Crusaders, your task will not be easy.
The ease of setting up your defense will be balanced by the lack of resources, your defense will be tested by ever increasing sets of invading forces, and of course there's all of the other little problems that can crop up haha!
So take to the hill and build your castle, it's a tight spot but you can do it, defending won't be to hard at first, but don't waste to much gold on frivolous things, you will need the gold for troops if you hope to get enough iron so you can leave this cursed place.

Here's a technical problem with the name of the file. Crusader allows a dot only before the ending "map" (abcd.map), otherwise the system cannot recognize where the map is meant to appear. So I had to rename the file from (Iron..Hill.map) to (Iron,,Hill.map) or something like that.
Hey Sir_Vet, I played it and it's great fun - suffering and successes. A a really good job, good landscape and scripting. 1) I DID manage to place a cathedral in that corner of the desert, 2) in between it was a real torture to see all the iron on the stockpile without the possibility to trade it away ...

Hey Peter, Thanks for the heads up on the tech problem. When I uploaded the map it would not go, after a few changes to the name it finely uploaded, I always download my map on the second day to check every thing, Thanks again.
I'm glad you enjoyed my scenario, it makes weeks of testing and tweeking worth it, I have to agree, working with a tight economy and seeing all that iron just sitting there is torture.:-)

I can confirm that the map file is now properly named and can just be unpacked straight into the maps folder :) |

Another great review by Lord Dredde Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed my map,I am looking forward to making my next map, not to sure what it will be yet, maybe a lush island with the same sort of goals and problems to challenge you. |

Hi Peter thank you for the great rating, I put a good effort to get this map to play the way it does, this is only the second invasion map I have made for Crusader so I still have a lot to learn about using the editor and scripting for invasion maps, but I do enjoy it.I appreciate the time you spent on getting your response just the way you wanted.
I said my next map might be a lush island, well it's done and you will be on an island but it's not lush and it will be a challenge. I will have the story finished soon and will post the map.
Thank you all for giving my maps a try, and if you have Stronghold 2 you might want to try some of my war scenarios. |
