Ghiel's Ridge
By Lord_Chris
This map is played in a siege mode. There is no castle building, simply organizing your army and attacking--or defending--an ancient fort on Ghiel's Ridge.Alfred the Great is marching an army to Ghiel's Ridge. This ancient rise overlooks the Norweigan Sea from the west side of England's coasts. An old fort stands by the edge of the cliffs, overgrown with trees, bushes, and grasses. All up and down the rise are wild plants, rocks, grasses, and fungi, undisturbed for centuries. But now Sir Lancelot and his army is here, but not to enjoy the scenery.
For Alfred the Great is near, and he has slain every knight of the Round Table except for Sir Lancelot. Sir Lancelot's army forms up in front of the old fort, pouring pitch at places on the hillside, and setting up rolling logs on the slope. Alfred will ask no quarter, and neither will Lancelot.
You may either take the place of Lancelot (Defending) or Alfred (Attacking) and try to win the battle for either side. This short siege mission will set the stage for a future Legends campaign which I will begin working on in the coming summer.
