Week #32 - Stronghold Crusader

[Lord_Chris 251]

With numerous things to do this this week, unfortunately I forgot to post this challenge. You'll get until next Saturday to completely his challenge for that reason. I do apologise.

 

Your challenge is: Create a Skirmish map with 3-4 castle sites on high ground with bridges and stairs in the Stronghold Crusader editor. Make it exciting to play and hard to defeat at least two AI positions!

Note: Your entry must be attached to this topic by Midnight on Saturday to be counted in this challenge (20/8/16 23:59). If no entry is attached (via .zip. then your entry will not be counted! The results will be revealed on Sunday.

 

Good luck everyone!

This is going to be a lovely challenge, I hope we will try some if these maps in multiplayer as well, that would be awesome. I'm only not sure about those bridges, I hope that those bridges don't have to be the only way from one lord to another. Otherwise, AI lords would be destroying them as far as I know.

[Lord_Chris 251]

They don't have to be the only way, but try to vary it as much as you can.

You can place rocks on those bridges, then delete them so that they retain their altitude should they become destroyed as long as the bridge is 3 squares or larger by width. However, there's a bit of a glitch where if you attempt to cross between wall and land diagonally, many units may become stuck. Sometimes, their path-finding will allow them to circumvent this, but if too many units are on that square, your game will probably start to lag.
