2nd Campaign - Mission 30 - The bewitched path
Mission briefing:
Northern Rhoen mountains, October 1282. With a lot of effort, you managed to seize a part of this region from the Pig's and the Snake's hands. You now move further to the north and enter a rugged area of rocky valleys which holds a joint fortress of the Snake and the Pig. Further in the north, there is a monastery which has been threatened and oppressed by the Lords of the two castles for a considerable period of time and has recently been blocked from all trade. It is slowly running out of food, and only a few smuggling routes for certain goods are still available. It is said that the monastery might be attacked soon, to wipe it off the face of the earth. Rush to the monastery to aid its chief in defending it. However, it is not clear how you can get there. Keep as many of your soldiers alive as possible, especially archers and crossbowmen, you will need them. Finally, ensure that this area is cleansed from all enemies.
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. |

Given 70 spearmen spells a rush and cannon fodder. One avoids this if possible.
Better to work on the keep. Space is very limited here.
Snake’s 1st. attack, and subsequent (Sake/Pig ) were met hands down. Now to strike at the stronghold first, then move my army, without being under constant fire.
The abbey was upgraded to a stronghold. I managed five dairy farms, but cows were used for leather armour and biological warfare. However, moral was kept high, and the subjects survived on spiritual, ale and pleasant factors, while my troops had keener strikes.
I took the proxy wooden stronghold, and then the two towers, using catapults, shields and a team of ranged soldiers.
Eventually my army could rejoin the abbey at zero casualties.
There were several attack by tandem Pig/Snake. My army finished off the rest.
I suffered 6% casualties from the abbey army.
Took me a week to beat this one, but hell, it was fun!
