LotR Helm's Deep

Description
Can you defend the Hornburg until the Rohirrim arrive?

The Sun was already westering as they rode from Edoras, and the light was in their eyes, turning all the rolling fields of Rohan to a golden haze. The host rode on - need drove them. The midnight sky was utterly dark when the exodus ended at Helm's Deep , and the stillness of the heavy air foreboded a storm. Indeed, a host of 10,000 foul Uruk-Hai were marching for the Deep and the grim news swept over the people of Rohan, so that they felt that their doom was already sealed. But hope arrived in the form of the Elves of Rivendell, who came to honor the pact forged centuries ago, to stand against all evil on Middle Earth. Even as they manned the walls with renewed vigour, the clouds were seared by a blinding flash of lightning. For a staring moment, the watchers on the walls saw all of the valley before them lit with white light - it was boiling and crawling with foul Orcs. The dark tide charged the Deepening wall - and was met by a hail of arrows. The assault on Helm's Deep had begun... - J.R.R Tolkien

This is a very hard map to win, I can recommend to abandon the Deeping Wall and just focusing on holding the keep.
There is also a "remastered" version available The Hornburg if you are interested :)

Different versions of this map and many more where and are available on Strongholdheaven - check them out!

There is no skirmish in Stronghold Definitive Edition, you'll have to wait for the Crusader DE

I get my butt wiped by the orcs each and everytime. Maybe one day I find victory and perish this pesky attackers. Until than another round of restart the map and watch the walls crumble as the world of man falls, yet again and again.
