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!

thanks :-)

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.

nice map, but crash when i kill IA lord

THANK YOU FOR YOU EXPLANATİON.

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.

Thanks. I'm a fan of the books too, thats why I came up with the castle. Time for Cornwell to finally finish the series though... Uthred is getting too old for all the fighting. In the last one at least he actually attempts an attack on his beloved Bebbanburg, and well we know that on some point he finally will reclaim it for real...
So much about my inspiration, because that is exactly that you do on this map!

A very impressive castle. I only had a first go at it so far, but there seems to be a lot to discover on that map.

Also nice that you chose a historical castle, which has also been mentioned in one of Bernard Cornwell's best sellers. I have his Saxon Series in my shelves and picked the book up again :)
