2nd Campaign - Mission 32 - The castles of Drei Gleichen
Mission briefing:
Township of Gotha, March 1284. By capturing Wartburg Castle you have taken an important base from the Snake and now have a considerable arsenal of weapons. You are well placed to seek open confrontation with the Snake in his core territory. Hence, you march further to the east. Not far from the township of Gotha, your way is blocked by three enemy castles which have been built on three adjacent hills. In the dead of night, your troops manage to seize the smallest one of the three, however, the buildings within it almost completely burn down to the ground. At dawn, the flats are teeming with enemy troops that have been ordered to take the castle back. You prefer wiping them out in the fields instead of going through another siege. Once the dust has settled, capture the other castles.
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. |

JB opted to fight behind the walls, and let the hunters take care of the looming army. Attacks kept coming way beyond ‘time for the last battle’. In the interim, he was reinforcing, rebuilding and gnawing at the two enemy castles. Victory came after the eight attack at only 3% casualties, and not before using every advantage in the book: favourable structures, bribes, ballistae, catapults, shields, double gates, pitch… and becoming stinking rich in the process.
This was another long one, and another 10/10.

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you liked it. Yes, sometimes the mission timeline does not indicate correctly and attacks keep coming.
Interesting - where did you see the 302 downloads? |

Oops, my bad. 302 downloads for mission 34 (now 305). Mission 43 shows 12 correctly, sorry.
However, it is still sad. Malris seems to be having the same problem. Are the current uploads being blocked :(
Can anything be done so that your hard labour be enjoyed by so many enthusiasts?

Thanks - no, I haven't done any uploads since mission 43 but will get onto it! Most of the missions have been designed and are ready for my testing. I started uploading the first missions last year, it's been a long journey! :D |
