This was done to satisfy the agreement made between Firefly Studios and HeavenGames to include 300 fan-made maps in the next edition of the original Stronghold. The lists below consist of maps with exceptional design and engaging gameplay. I really enjoyed this map.Home » Community » Summary Table of the Stronghold Map Bundle Summary Table of the Stronghold Map Bundle Introduction And in terms of the backstory, that too was phenomenal, because it was so detailed and very well written. The gold you got for destroying them, etc was brilliant too. I loved the way that each castle was unique and had a different challenge you had to overcome before you could defeat it. It was only then, once I had a full army, did I manage to get further in the scenario. So eventually I had to double click to select all the units and that selected them all. Partly, this is because of some weird glitch where I couldn't drag and select my troops at the start because some of them were off-screen. It took me so many attempts before I managed to get anywhere with it. Similarly talking about the build designs, I particularly loved the first Wolf castle the player comes across and the fact you have to rush it right at the start before the troops arrive. The whole idea of having to invade the map with your army and take the castles was incredible and really well thought out. I loved the whole theme of the scenario, the difficulty levels were amazing and I thought a really neat addition to the map. Honestly I was in complete awe when I first opened this map as to how detailed the submission was and the amount of effort that had been put into it. This map is made as a contest entry to the Strongholdnation Summer Contest. The map is not balanced for exploits, so keep your unshootable units, your double workers, your fire canals, your teleporting resources, your fast workers and all the other c**p in the big red box with the 'do not touch' sign in the corner! IF you beat this without any exploits, I will grant you a cookie! ![]() It's really meant as a challenge for those that can never get it difficult enough. You will find yourself fiddling around with single units on the slowest speed to squeeze the slightest advantage out of every situation. In this difficulty you will have to fight with the intended map limitations to your hearts content!Įxpert - In Expert difficulty, you will have no fun with the fights, as every single move counts. The map was originally balanced for this difficulty and it will even challenge veteran players for the game. You will have to micro your army well and watch it every step of the way to score a victory in this mode. Hard - This difficulty poses a true challenge and is meant to be the hardest difficulty to be still playable without falling back on long lasting battle techniques. ![]() You need to also be able to adapt to different situations quickly. You will have a nice little challenge and you need to know how to siege and conquer fortified positions, hold strategic points and know what each of the units can do. Normal - It's the recommended setting if you play this map for the first time. ![]() This should yield no trouble even for newer players whatsoever and is more a preview of the map as it is.Įasy - This difficulty is catering those that have played Stronghold Crusader here and there but haven't really invested much time in optimizing their strategies. Have fun playing it in Full HD in v1.41 steam edition, as i would recommend that for the best experience! Please keep it vanilla though, as otherwise you might destroy the balance.Ĭasual - meant to be played for Stronghold casual players, that just like to have fun by running over enemies. The map is made with version v1.1 of the game, hence compatible with all other game versions. Place the maps from the download into the maps folder of your game and you'll be good to go! Also a little instruction document comes with the download, which includes some important notes to read and some hidden hints, which are initially hidden. The download also comes with a preview image giving you an overview prior to the battle, so you won't need to pause the game and check everything out but can play right away. This is a custom Skirmish Scenario, which means it is played by using the 'play a map' feature in the editor section of the game.
