PART I

We have received word that Sir Percival has been corrupted by Castle Carbonek's magic. Shortly after the discovery of the holy grail the knights that did not return to Camelot have been wandering the deadly land since. With the king dead and the knights disbanded, lost, or killed we are not sure who else could help us along the way. However even though some knights are dead that does not mean all of them are. And Merlin is surely still around conniving somewhere...

Perhaps if we build and develop a suitable base then Merlin will arrive along with an ally we have not seen since the grail was founded. Moreover if we can make enough bows and spears then we may attract the attention the loyal marshall of the king and slayer of giants: Sir Bedivere.

PART II

It is unfortunate that after the slaying of Mordred Percival has become corrupt. He was the proudest knight of the Round Table. Perhaps that pride got to his head after ruling Carbonek. His forces are rampant throughout this land and will surely attack us soon. We must slay him if we are to survive. I have given you access to some oil tippers as well as a siege camp to aid you in this mission. He was once a jester of the round table but always came through in the end... I will regret losing another one of my brothers...

 
 
AUTHOR'S NOTE: For mission 1 it is VERY important that you not only build a strong base but produce lots of troops and weapons. I made huge invasions that are very frequent and if your castle isn't strong it will fall. There's a LOT of catapult spam in mission 2 as well as the enemy AI attacking you with his own armies so be on the lookout and don't underestimate how many troops you need.
 
For mission 2 my advice is to not capture the estates with iron. Instead keep your ranged units near the carters to save time by stealing the iron. Note how each of the estates is heavily fortified with castle structures. The estates are the ONLY way you can make iron and are rather far so it would be inefficient to wait for carters-especially with Percival's continuous attacks.
 
It is imperative that you mass your troops and keep your defense strong. The attacks will NEVER stop so be prepared. Make your way to Percival and kill him in order to complete the mission. Be on guard and be ready for the chaotic forces of Sir Percival!
 
Keep in mind I also varied the amount of troops invading at different directions. Use this knowledge to punch a hole through the invaders and set up your own troops at each of the estates.
 
Anyways I hope you guys have fun with this mission. It took a couple of days to make but it truly was pleasing to make this map. My favorite part was building various bases within the estates and systematically sieging each one slowly making my way to Percival.
