Siege of Rock Fortress [The AI works on this one :)]

Several minutes ago, foreigner saboteurs managed to destroy the four gates of the city and blown up some of the walls and defensive towers. The defenders quickly tried to block the all the holes in the walls with some carts, when they saw an army in the horizon....

But thanks to our dwarf guests, the gates has been repared at an amazing speed. Also, they took some materials from the other walls to fix the broken ones, so there are no more holes, but the rest of the wall is weaker! Quick, we need to defend these walls!

While looking the enemy army coming to the city, the captain of the guard receive a message "The guards have found the rest of the explosives of the saboteurs and want to use them as ammo to shoot the cannons of the towers!". "Good," says the captain "Let's return this mercancy to the sender!".

"Siege of Rock Fortress" is a very big (good for 4 vs 4) Empire city map. The fortress is located between some giant rocks, which gives it natural protection from the south and partial protection from west and east (except against flying units). The city has 4 gates (one in the west, one in the north, one in the east and one in the souht-east). Every entrance zone has his good and bad things:
- West entrance: gives you access to the second level of the city directly, but to reach the gate you have to expose yourself to fire from both flanks.
- North entrance: is safer, but you are far from the center and you have to pass the river to reach the second level.
- East entrance: is closer to the center of the city than the north entrance, but the lack of bridges in that side makes you vulnerable to fire from the other side of the river.
- South-East entrance: is the closer one to the third level of the city, and has a forest nearby where you can make your units move without being seen, but once inside there is only one route (no streets, no flanking,...). If some units stops you before reaching the third level, you will have a problem.

Once downloaded, "Siege of Rock Fortress" will show up in both, Land battle and Siege battle modes. You can play it in Land Battle mode (easier to play in multiplayer) or in Siege Battle mode (everyone has to download the map first, but you can use battering rams and siege towers, and if you capture the victory point you can win the battle :) ).

For multiplayer, EVERYTHING WORKS. Yes, even siege towers works now. For vs AI,.... EVERYTHING WORKS TOO. The AI is finally fixed.

- The "Vanguard" deployment: the vanguard deployment zone of the attacker is a bit funky. You will see two vanguard deployment zones, one is generated automatically by the game, and is pretty much broken. The other one is the fixed one that I've put in the map, and is the one that works. So you can ignore the funky one. It's there because I don't know if you can disable it, but now is only visual, so you can ignore it.
- If you make full zoom in the water, you become the water, my friend: I don't know why you can do that, so don't make zoom in the water.
- Why the defender starts looking to a wall?: because that's the southern part of the deployment zone, and the camera starts there. Just press W for a second aaaaaand..... fixed.
- I've capture the victory point and the battle continues!!: you are playing it as a "Land battle". If you want to win by capping, play it as a "Siege Battle".
- Hey, I can move the camera inside the giant rocks!: It was that or to have very weird line of sight issues, so.... It's the lesser evil.

And with that over, I hope you enjoy the map! If you have any doubt of something or a suggestion, just leave a comment.

My maps are and will always be free but, if you are interested in supporting me with money, here is a donation button. I seriously doubt I get any donations, but if I do, all will go to buy me the DLCs I lack (currently, Wood Elfs and Beastman, and probably Norsca because I have yet to get money to reserve Warhammer 2....). Anyway, here's the button:
