The year is Anno Domini 1296. Long have you gathered resources and prepared your troops. You have sent letters to Pope Boniface and finally you have received the answer you have been hoping for. Boniface accepts your claim to your ancestral home of Felsburgh and has given you his blessing to retake it from the grasp of your step-father. As your troops arrive on the plain below the castle, you feel a touch of fear, but also a sense of pride: Felsburgh, the castle which defenses your father perfected lies before you. A hard battle lies ahead of you, but you know that God is on your side.
The map is to be played offensive, a defensive version will follow.
Tips:
- You may need to change your troops around.
- The playtesters have managed to complete the siege, but agree that it's a hard one. Be careful, and be patient.

Note: Something went wrong when I initially uploaded this map. If you have any problems, such as the map being too easy because half the defenders disappeared, pleas contact me? |

Playability: 5
Attacking this castle is a challenge. You have to overcom every kind of defense possible, and annoying towers on the top of the cliffes firing at your men when you still can't reach them. Reminds me of the last mission.
Balance: 5
This map was intentionally hard, and managing to get a good balance when talking about such HUGE number of soldiers makes this scenario deserve a 5.
Creativity: 4
To surpass the castle you need to pass trought many obstacles and finally break on the final keep, that looks very sturdy and strong.
Map Design: 4
Good on most aspects, not forgeting the eye candy that includes the huts far from the castle. A gorgeous waterfall and a town hidden on the back are things that always improve.
Story/Instructions: 4
Good and immersive, however more would be nice.
Overall: Great Challenge
Not for newbies, but once you get there play this map to test yourself. You'll like it. Great job, Jayhawk! |

All you have to do is reduce the game speed to minimum, and pack all the crossbowmen and archers into the towers and gatehouse at the first layer of defense.
The macemen and pikemen get mowed down everytime they advance, and then the knights and swordsmen are left stranded, because there is nobody left to fill in the moat. Then you just need to send out the crossbowmen and hunt them down/mop them up.
Overall a very good map, and the terrain is excellent. I can see you spent a very long time making this map. The rivers and hills are espescially good, and I like the little monastery to the south west.
