1st Campaign - Mission 19 - Staring death in the face
Mission briefing:
Ockenheim in Rhine-Hesse, June 1278. The Rat's main army has suffered a humiliating defeat in the swamplands around your fort. Now the time has come to march against the Rat's fortress. However, spies have disclosed to you that the Rat is planning to combat you in the open fields on the way to his castle. You need more men to prepare for this case. Therefore, you send the following message to your provinces: "Storming of the Rat's castle! Meet in seven days at the ruined tower near Ockenheim!" Ockenheim is a small settlement of the enemy in a mostly treeless area, about an hour's march away from the Rat's castle. You leave the Kühkopf on time. As you arrive, you are delighted to see a large number of allies moving towards the ruin. Meet them there and await the Rat's attack from the hill to defeat them resoundingly.
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. |

The start of this mission was quite weird... when trying to meet up with my allied troops in the central hill, I first noticed "oh, those same-colored troops are not mine... must really be allies instead", and then "oh wait a minute, they are shooting at me, they are enemies, actually?!". This didn't really fit with the story.
Did you intend this to happen, sort of a betrayal of your allies that then switch back sides to you after you decimate some of them, or is there a bug with the script?
Edit: Ahh, okay... the next mission clears up the confusion... a planned trap. [Edited on 07/10/22 @ 07:01 PM]

You guys keep coming up with yet another original scenario, magic!
Phase 1: Open field battle against troops flying one’s colours. (Not unlike the current Ukrainian invasion). Tainted glory in the victory.
Phase 2: Massive attack. One breaks whatever is required to build a barricade. Realistic, I am sure that JB shall rebuild.
