Well, here it goes. This is my first scenario in stronghold that I have shared with the people on the internet, 2nd in all. This scenario is based on the Siege of Tenochtitlan were Cortez besieged the city in 1521. This was also the last recorded use of a trebuche in combat. I placed some map candy and stuff. Also I must tell you that actualy I realy made it loosely based on the siege because I didnt know the size of the garrison, the number of the attacking forces, or the desing of the city of Tenochtitlan. I just made stuff and sections that looked kind of fancy. So I am expecting to get much critisism on this map. While playing this map you will notice that the city has some wooden walls blocking some sections. I do not know if it was true but some places were barricated in the city, but I am not sure. Over rall, I do not expect to get a good rating on this game, although, maybe I can bribe you raters with choclate :P.
Special thanks goes to:
Jayhawk-for telling me how to solve my attacker problem.
I haven't downloaded this yet, but I was wondering, how would you create a huge Aztec city With a European Castle-building set?:{

Stupidity, insanity, daringness, and more insanity. Well, in a way it is. I substituted Javalin Aztec guys with macemen, build some fountains, although it is kind of strange to see bakeries and hovels in European style. But anyways, I also build some Mayan Piramids from the map making 101 section.

For if you like to improve this siege map: the attacking force of Cortèz counted 1050 men and 18.000 natives. The garrison of the Aztecs whas counting 30.000 men. If you could size them on a small scale, and on Cortèz site more x-bows (counts as gunpowder or something) and place a boat with a mangonel in the lake (if you hide him, it looks like he's firing cannon balls)
BTW: Tenoctitlan whas in a great lake and had 3 bridges: one to the north, one to the west and one to the south.
