Take Over

Description
Take Over - User-created War Scenario made by Sir_Vet (http://stronghold2.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=2364)

Story:

In the beginning there was only 1 Castle standing over these grounds, owned by Sir William for many peaceful years and with 2 villages loyal to his castle heavily guarded by his men.

The normal peaceful sounds coming from Sir Williams bedroom window had a different tone, almost like the sound of troops marching mixed with the sounds of building, not quite close enough to really be made out.

When Sir William entered the great hall he was instantly hit with a barrage of voices both excited and scared, he held his hand up and the room fell silent, alright what's with the commotion he asked his right hand man Sir Fredrick. Fredrick said that to the south east a new castle is being built as we speak, large amounts of troops are moving into the area they look to belong to Sir Grey and I doubt if they're here for a picnic, if that's not enough there's another new castle being built on the other side of the lake to the south.

As he gathered all of the information, he learned of Sir Grey coming into the valley and setting up a castle on his side of the lake, he also learned of Sir Greys plan of owning both sides of the lake. William new of Sir Greys exploits from past battles and did not think too much of Sir Greys chances of defeating the new Lord across the lake, even though he knew nothing of the new Lord.

William and Fredrick were in the main hall talking about the new war that came to their land, only a few weeks since Sir Grey arrived and already 2 large towers and a gate closing the only entrance to Sir Grey and units attacking across the bridge, the new Lord had already set range units into the only tower across the bridge along with melee units on his side, the scouts had reported that Sir Grey had not been successful in getting across the bridge, as Sir Grey stepped up the invasions time would tell.

This is quite an easy map if you get your tactics right , i lost about 60 troops during whole scenario , use your head not your troops

Quite frankly unplayable and leaves little to no room for customization or fun. As others have said, it's a min/max turtling game and it's not fun at all. Also. the sheer amount of enemies just gets glitchy and just ruins it. Wave size and/or times inbetween waves need to be reduced.

Okay, but why no Fletcher huts so you can make more archers???

The guys crying about how hard it is to deal with waves are noobs or people who do NOT enjoy putting their brain to work to get advantages. Strategy:
=> Build lots of catapults, and crossbow men
=> Time them(catapults) to attack at one place during different times( select 2-4 catapults, make them attack at one place, wait for some time(1-2 seconds), select 2-4 other catapults, do the same thing, and repeat)
=> Catapults are going to continiously attack the place or the zone, and the enemy's army is going to run in there( crossbow men are just in case some troop goes near the catapults somehow by having 999% luck )
=> Once the raid is finished, get more high-ground
=> Get estates, build on them to get an economy boost, like produce mass cheese on them or mass meat, to later sell it.
==> Repeat

EASY.

Once you have enough high ground, make sure to attack the enemy's archers that are in the towers or walls etc with ballista, and slowly but surely you will overwhelm the AI's defences, that are going to be weak enough for you to absolutely murder him. Build a lot of macemen since economy isn't going to be a problem at this point. Once you feel like it, attack the king. ALSO, USE THE " SAVE " button to test if something works or not before doing it.

Yo Pstuder12321, its stronghold 2. its fun to try to fight the endless waves. 7/10 map, didnt have enough difficulty.

For everyone that doesn't know how to, start with collecting the 200 chees when you finished that objective you'll get more building options. After that, hold on and create a slugfest.

Very Fun and quite Difficult, hope to see more from you

I think the overwhelming invasions are part of a bug I found: Large invasions ignore the set repeat count and dump them all at once.

That said, this was a fun and challenging scenario. I watched many an army melt away before final victory. But then, on the way to the fridge, I realized there was a huge strategic hole you could march a thousand pikemen through. I won't spoil it for y'all by telling.
