Saint Brigid's Falls: The Cathedral is the fifth of a series of five linked scenarios following the history and growth of the hamlet of Saint Brigid's Falls. In this fifth chapter, thirty odd years after your father was given lordship over Saint Brigid's Count Robert asks you to supply him with weapons for the Crusade. The Abbot also has a task for you.
NOTE: Even though these games are labelled as Invasion maps, they concentrate at least as much, if not more on the Economic challenges.
Tips:
- the northern barons are restless and might want some of that ale.
- This is probably the hardest one economics wise.
This is a tricky map with an arsonist on the loose! Top notch map design that in my opinion is also beautiful and well thought out. The only reason I don't give it a perfect 5 is because the final attack seems to be a little mistimed with the course of completing the victory requirements.

There is one thing I would like to see fixed with this invasion. You start with some pitch but can't sell it or biuld pitch ditches with it. There is no way to get rid of it in the stock pile except but deleting the section of the stock pile where the pitch is stored.
It would be better if you can either sell of build pitch ditches.

The pitch unit is a relic from when I still believed fire arrows did more damage than regular arrow.
It's mostly useless, but still allowes you to have firey arrows (and I love the sound the make) so I'll leave it in.

This is defiently my favourite Saint Brigid's map - I found it hard but perfectly balanced. On normal took two attempts but even when I did complete it it was close and a hard fought vicory. Very playable - more than the other Saint Brigid's maps. I think it is Revenge where it is so hard to build up your economy while it is easier and more satisfying here. Creativity and map design I marked together and 9/10 is a fair score as some of the map design is quite crude. The same old castle in hte centre - very nice and the whole map is very creative. A very good storyline and instructions. plenty for the map to be awarded with a 5. Overall very nice work - I have been meaning to review this map since I first started reviewing but now I have finally done so. Very good work - Satisfying epic stuff!
