1st Campaign - Mission 10 - Playing with fire
Mission briefing:
Lichtenstein Castle, February 1276. Though you struggled to fight off the attacks of the Snake at the fort near Schongau, significant numbers of peasants from the surrounding country keep joining you in support of your cause. Despite your advisors having advised you against it, you feel encouraged to push further north towards the central territory of the Snake. You will take up position in Lichtenstein Castle whose Lord welcomes help as his castle has recently been ravaged by the Snake. However, on the way there you first wish to meet with a monk who has promised to give you insights into the plans of the Snake. The meeting is supposed to take place at a small chapel in the woods. Meanwhile, your main troop will be moving into the castle to get started with the work there. Unfortunately, you do not yet have the architectural skills to rebuild the castle in grand style. But you may use the debris of the castle as building material.
Comments:
Stronghold is not just a game. It is one of the best and most popular strategy games of all time. I appreciate the depth of strategic thinking Stronghold requires from the player, and even more, the world editor, which allows you to design a map to the greatest level of detail and reflect nature's beauty in it.
Acknowledging the great work many authors have contributed to the Stronghold Community here, I created a set of 70 missions to conquer medieval Germany. My aim is to give you a Stronghold experience that reflects the beauty of my home country Germany and the diversity of its castles.
The complexity of this project increased with time. Initially wanting to build 20 missions, I continued to receive more ideas and felt the need to express them in the campaign. Work on this project took me a few years, with breaks included.
The missions have been grouped into five campaigns and feature dozens of real-life maps, including many original German castles that are based on their original footprint/construction plan. The missions also include fictional maps reflecting Germany's scenery.
At 'very hard' settings, most of my missions are tough but feasible. Like in the Middle Ages, you will need to build and defend your castle wisely.
I am using Stronghold 1.41. |

This one was also doable for me on very hard and just 2 tries, being able to sell/buy wood at any point and so many trees makes everything really easy, then just buying wheat for food.
the height helps too, the castle is in somehow a mountain and enemy archers go to the valley part, so I was able to take control of the whole place without losing any of my archers.
The design is perfect, perhaps for each player the experience is different but for me I was waiting to be crushed :P
Again I changed the position of the granary for a better economy. I didn't use ale at all, and I appreciate to need to grind the stone (not be able to buy it) so that added a little challenge there.
Keep going with the maps! |

Just finished this mission.
I have to say your maps are the best custom maps, that I have ever played!
The landscape looks very realistic and the difficulty is perfect. I have to admit, I play the missions on hard. Very hard is a bit too stressfull, but normal is too easy for me.
I am looking forward, playing Mission 11!
Greetings from Fulda in Hesse, Prince of Hesse ;)
