To celebrate the upcoming early access release anniversary of Medieval Engineers, I decided to release my first Castle Siege map: Ulf's Bastion.

----------

This map features elevated structures interconnected by multiple bridges, and is designed to be balanced around attackers as well as defenders.

The defender's base features a drawbridge and wooden gate to cover the main entrance, and is surrounded by a dry moat and a relatively thin perimeter wall of stone and wood, rather than a tall and thick layer of stone cubes that can be tedious to breach or bypass. The attackers can benefit by having some means of traversing the moat to reach the wall or drawbridge, or even by having a device that can scale the outer wall. There is no natural cover to shelter the attackers from the defenders' moderate supply of crossbow ammunition, so it is recommended that the attackers bring some form of cover to close distance as well as ranged weapons and ammunition.

The central structure of the inner base features a ramp that the defenders can raise to prevent attackers from accessing the upper levels of the base. If the attackers manage to breach the outer wall, they have the option of collapsing a structure by targeting the supporting pillars underneath. However, the defenders have multiple firing angles from above on all pillars that support the base. The supporting pillars also present opportune targets for siege weapons, although the defenders have four separate catapults to return fire.

The king statue is not directly attached to the structure it is housed in, which means that it cannot be destroyed by collateral structure damage and has a chance of surviving a structural collapse. The inner base also features a warehouse, well, and stables for aesthetics.

----------

The main respawn building features enough supplies for 30 respawning defenders to each equip themselves with a sword, a crossbow, 10 quivers, and 30 herbs.

The central respawn building features enough supplies for 15 respawning defenders to each equip themselves with a sword, a crossbow, 10 quivers, and 30 herbs.

Each catapult is equipped with two small chests containing 5 projectiles each, as well as having 21 spare projectiles in nearby barrels for a total of 31 ammunition per catapult.
