I was thinking to submit this map long time ago and I worked little by little for it since summer 2008. It does not have anything to do with my series of battles, “First Line in Defensive”.
I think you already guess that’s about the invasion of Troy. Indeed I made an invasion reflecting the siege of Troy. I’ve seen that are already in site some scenarios just like this but I didn’t see one made by an ‘original’ plan so I decided to try to make one by myself.
The story of Troy, including history of the heroes fighting in the Trojan War, is in the archive.
Here are some Hints/Tips:
- At beginning, watch out at the counter-attack enemy waves, coming from Troy.
- Protect your engineers and siege weapons with any cost.
- After the waves of enemy stop attacking you, you can use your engineers to build shields.
- Used with many archers as possible, the shields will help you to conquer the southern wall of troy.
- Conquer the second wall of southern side of troy, in the same way.
- Watch out at enemy pitch and traps. You can sacrifice the slaves to destroy them.
- Dig the moat with some engineers.
- Invade the king with all troops you have at your didiposal.
- The end.
Additional comments:
- Please download, comment and review. I worked hard finishing this map.
- And as usual, if there’s any problem / bug in the map, please comment.
- And finally, Special Thanks to Peter2008 who helped me a lot playtesting this scenario.
Many thanks for this review, Peter. Hope that it will not be the last recreation of Troy in Crusader.

Took me some time to write this kind of sequel to the Troy story, you know. Expresses the fun I had playing your map again & again.

You mean my map-series 'First line in Defensive'?
If the map can be LOADED, then load it and SAVE it again with the same name WITHOUT modding anything to it. After this the respective map should be able to be played.
(There's a weird bug wich i don't understand but like that can be corrected^^)
If the map CAN'T be loaded then it means it occured a mistake when you put it to maps folder. Put it again.
PS: Luckily I have a laptop otherwise I couldn't write you these.
