This is a single scenario set in Holland during the crusades. While your father is off fighting in the Holy Land you are ruling the castle. The Count of Holland has requested food and weapons from you to aid in his war efforts.
Tips:
- Be careful with your wood supplies.
- Remember you can build moats, but you won't be able to rebuild dairy or apple farms.
Somewhat harder than I though it would be.Or am I that bad? ;)
This is a good map with a lot of things happening, never boring.

A bit a hard map. Took me several starts till I found the trick. In my opinion some bandits too much. But a great triumph for me, when managed to finish. Quiete a challenge

Great fun abit tricky but fun. Didn't have a problem with wood at all but wabbits could be a problem if you don't know how to handle them.

A very enjoyable map. Oddly enough, after a point, the
bandits ignored my apple farms, even when they were unprotected.
But otherwise,I enjoyed it immensely.

Had a good time playing this map. There was enough negative events to make it exciting and challenging. Only being able to build certain things was a bit difference from other maps. Overall, I thought that it was a good map.

A funny map around the idea of strategically placed moats. You can create choke points and place your few xbows into edges. This works pretty well and may lead the bandits on a long journey. Works like the (unfair) trick of luring the AIs into a hole in a wall.

You can also make an invasion map out o it since Brederode was besieged
Read this from Wiki: During the Hook and Cod wars, the Brederode family stayed loyal to Margaret of Bavaria. In 1351 the castle was besieged by Gijsbrecht van Nijenrode, who supported the opposing Cod faction. After the surrender of the castle, it was so badly damaged that it was demolished.
