I remember when I first made my way between the vast and conquering peaks of ice-cruel, unyielding. I was young then, innocent. But innocence never lasts, not in this cruel world. I knew not of sorrow, nor pain but that of grazed knees or scraped elbows. Nestled amongst the hay bundles and pelts that crowded my fathers old cart-rickety, aged. Too young was I to remember as the life slipped away from my mother’s warm face, like the sun melting behind the hills into shadows-unheard, unseen.
War’s bitter tears of hardy salt had not parched my mouth. I knew not of it but that it had driven us from our home, like starved wolves stalking a flock-relentless in its resolve…
It was on a bitter winter’s morn that we left behind our thatched roofed home in which we had sheltered, the sun still cowering in the shadows. The frost clung to the ground like a newborn to its mother’s breast, and the air struck at you like a cold dagger in ones soul. Not a whisper was heard as we made our way down through a craggy ravine, earth spilling under the weight of the loathsome cart-aged stones echoing down into the abyss. Nestled amongst the pelts and straw I felt myself drift away…
I awoke to the sound of ravenous birds overhead. Others perched themselves amongst bent tree limbs-their eyes a piercing green. But soon their deathly calls became less common until only the occasional cry could be heard. As we made our way down a slight gully, we turned to follow a stream-frozen underfoot. Descending like water over cliff, we made our way down though a narrow in the mount-it was then for the first time that the great valley was upon me…
See Zipfile for the rest of the story.

Hey WL_D. When did you submit your last map?
How did you make invisible signposts? |

Quite a while between releases.
To create invisible sign posts you simply use the magic eraser.

This map by WL_D is extremely excellent, a must download by all players of freebuild maps.
You have perfect resources and the landscape is truly stunning!
I built a massive stronghold and then sieged it to death (as I always do on freebuild maps). The AI were pretty good, but they neglected building siege weapons on most of their attacks. |

Truely spectacular! Your mountains give the impression of being huge, which is quite an achievment in the Stronghold editor.
Everything about this map is perfect, I spend 10-20 minutes just exploring every nook, cranny, gorge and mountian on this map. I can't wait to build a huge castle and settlement. |

Thanks guys,
Glad you all like it. We also just realised we forgot to change the troop restrictions, feel free to alter this if you wish.

Wow..........THIS was the breath of fresh air I've been waiting for. I'm glad to see that not all the greats have left this site. |

Oh yes, I noticed that myself, the troop restrictions I mean. They didn't bother me much though. In freebuild I much prefer archers over crossbowmen and swordsmen or pikemen over macemen. |

Hey don't say that! I've felt like that too, and then found myself bored like hell and after a while made some maps anyways. I hope the same will happen to you too, heh. |
