2nd Campaign - Mission 34 - The Snake's nest
Mission briefing:
Kriebstein Castle, May 1285. Erfurt was kept but heavy losses on both sides were the price. In planning to take a deadly stroke against Beauregard, you call for reinforcements and pursue the remnants of Beauregard's troops eastwards to his home castle, Kriebstein Castle, which is situated high on the cliffs over a serpentine river. You fail to catch up with the enemy and see them move into the castle only from a distance. Circumvent the castle and siege it. Use a new siege tool, the trebuchet, to raze the towers and gatehouses to the ground. The conflict with the Snake must come to an end here for good. Ensure that your archers and crossbowmen survive the siege unharmed, should Duke Truffe come to the Snake's aid. In that case, you must defend yourselves from the ruins as you would not survive the open conflict with Truffe in the fields.
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. |

Haha thanks. I'm working on it and have already uploaded the next 4 or so maps. But there's usually a delay until they are visible online.
I do this as a hobby but it actually takes quite a bit of time. Therefore, I can't guarantee when the final 66th mission will be online. [Edited on 07/05/22 @ 09:49 PM]

Hi @Forum Admins
There seems to be a problem with uploading new maps as my new maps (missions 35-39) haven't been unlocked for a few weeks. Could someone look into it?
@Ericgolf, are you able to unlock them? Thanks :) :) |

Update: Map in the German language added to the download file (for those that prefer to play in German). |

Did not manage this one on normal level, too hard for me. Pitty that the easy level does not look any different. Well, one can't win them all. Thanks, it was fun trying. |

Thanks for commenting, not sure why it does not remove troops on easy level. Did you struggle with capturing the castle or the following invasion? |

It’s all about my skill. The map is good. I never managed capturing the castle. It would have been nice to beat it on easy, just for the sake of completion. |

Ah I see - no problem! You can edit the map in the editor and remove some enemy troops to make it easier! |
