Siege of Bebbanburg

Description
Lay siege on Bamburgh Castle, one of the mightiest strongholds in the history of England. In literature, Bamburgh, under its Saxon name Bebbanburg, is the (lost) home of Uhtred, the main character in Bernard Cornwell's best selling The Saxon Stories. It also has been identified with Joyous Gard, the mythical castle home of Sir Lancelot.

There are 3 ways (one is an easteregg) to win this map, in any case the lord of the castle has to die. Try the direct approach through the main gateway and get some reinforcements while doing so, or test the other end of the fortress and maybe destroy the food production on your way. Conquer the castle and anticipate heavy counterattacks. Select a powerfull AI-Lord for a even stronger opponent.

The Map has been tested a lot, mainly against the wolf, but should of course work for all AI-Lords. They have enough space to add their specific buildings. You will face an opponent much stronger than normally, additional there are a lot of triggers for reinforcements on both sides. Establish a base of your own and build up an army big enough to storm the walls of your enemy.

Notice: Do not use a peace-time! Select high starting goods. Also you can only play the attacker.
The map is too unbalanced for a fair multiplayer-match.

Furthermore a little hint: If you're looking for a shortcut raising your troops: After getting the population over 150, you can claim special reinforcements by finding and then going to the hidden well within your perimeter. Of course there is also another - much bigger - gimmick in the map, but I guess thats for you to find out...

Took me a lot of hours to get this finally finished!

Leave a comment if you have a question

Edit: If you kill the KI-Lord the game is seemingly not able to handle the deleting of the castle due to its size (which always happens in Skirmish-maps if you kill a lord). You possible will hear a short part of the usual victory-song, but it definitly happens before you can see the game-stats. I don´t think I can fix this problem, if it is indeed in the general gamescript.
But it only happens because you did WIN. Otherwise bebbanburg runs very stable on my pc, a lot better than other maps, even offical ones.

fair play i got over 1k hours in this game and i enjoyed your map thank you

Thanks. Yeah it is not meant to play the defender... Siegemaps cannot be programmed to work both ways, sadly.
I guess I forgot those stairs, but since you don´t have to defend the village, you don´t really need them either.

I've try to play the defense. The moment I start there are like 200 enemy's units in the fortification. I lost in a blink of an eye. I suppose it's how the map work. Could be fun to defend against a powerfull enemy.

Oh and something else. Maybe put some stair for the wall in the village you can capture. ;)

Great map! Good job!

Finally played thru this one, thanks, this was a great map and your work is outstanding, loved it.

Yeah, as I explained, I don´t think I can fix that. It happens because the game can not handle the deletion of the castle. I rebuild the entire castle and integrated the easter egg (a quick way to kill the lord) to run tests, but since it is a skirmish-map, I cannot stop the process of deleting.
I hope I doesn´t matter much, because the match is over anyway, as soon as you kill the lord.

THANK YOU FOR YOU EXPLANATİON.
bartelbi  [author] 1 Jul, 2015 @ 8:46am 
well, the problem is not that you can not kill him - you definitly can, but in the moment you win the game tries to delete all the buildings of your enemy - the whole castle. this is seemingly what cause this problem. I was not able find a solution, because the problem is in the game itself, not in the map I think. I tried to reprogramm it as a community-map, but then the KI does absolutely nothing on their own, you cannot build anything and get no peasants and so the whole szenario doesn´t work at all. If there is a solution I couldn´t find it.

BUT: If this happens to you it means you actually WON the game, you just don´t get the stats at the end... so I hope it does not really matter, the map is still playable. I am sorry I don´t think I could even fix this. I really hoped it was just my pc, because crusaders2 is crashing a lot lately, I can´t even test my new multiplayer-map...

the map and story is very nice, but there is a problem. you cannot kill the AI LORD.When you try to do so the game stops.
