You'll have to gather gold but only through taxes and you have been given every mean to raise taxes, but in a limited time. When you'll be close reaching the objectives, an additional defeat timer of 12 months will appear. It means you'll have to quickly finish the remaining objectives in 12 months.
As you know better how to raise taxes, I may not discuss much. However, if your castle is running well, good events will come by. If much food stock is gathered, theives may attract towards your town. As there are no invasions, get ready for bad events. It is a PYOK map, so choose your location carefully.
Now, make this map, your first download of 2013, enjoy and test your skills for taxes...
(upload of more maps will depend upon the success of this one)
Well, I really enjoyed playing this! I thought it was going to be easy, but it took me 3 attempts to finally succeed on Apr 1411. I think I would classify it as med-hard to hard & I would rate it 4 - 4.5 overall.
Bad things come frequently, including having your granary emptied. I was fortunate at the end that religion & gold both met their objectives within a month of each other. It's frustrating when the 'blessings' stay low no matter how many churches you have.
Give it a try...

Thank you for your comments:
riderwinz: "I would rate it 4 - 4.5 overall." Waiting for what?
"Bad things come frequently, including having your granary emptied." The reason of this is included in Readme file.
"It's frustrating when the 'blessings' stay low no matter how many churches you have." Why not have less population to acheive religion easily?
Again thanks for comment and playing. :)
Lord_of_Hell: Thanks for comment and hope you'll play.

"Waiting for what?" I don't understand your question.
Do you understand that 5 is the highest rating?
"Bad things come frequently, including having your granary emptied." This is not a criticism, but a general comment.
"It's frustrating when the 'blessings' stay low no matter how many churches you have." This is a general observation about Stronghold Crusader, not your map.
I won't bother commenting on your maps any more!

- He is waiting for you to post a review rather than a comment.
"'Bad things come frequently, including having your granary emptied.' This is not a criticism, but a general comment."
- He did not say that it was a criticism, he was simply stating the reason why the events occurred.
"'It's frustrating when the blessings stay low no matter how many churches you have.' This is a general observation about Stronghold Crusader, not your map."
- He is suggesting you to keep your population low to maintain a higher blessing percentage more easily.

Here's an peaceful eco time. Almost: beware the lions.
Concentration turns to food and population. Which places shall be assigned for wheat, which ones for hops farms? A matter of distance-related productivity. What to do next for people fluently arriving at the campfire? As there is an order in which they occupy the buildings.
Raising the "stocks" for the requests steadily ...
With blessings 40% I had no problems with a population of 178. Called back woodcutters and hunters to do other jobs closer to the centre.
