Content Highlight - Lord Farckuath's Skirmish Pack

[Asophix 152]

Oi, Good Folk! 🙂 

It's with pleasure that I can announce the arrival of new maps to our humble repository, from the pen of @ Lord Farckuath , to whom hereby we are thankful!

His pack consists of three skirmish maps for Stronghold Legends over the last month, summoning familiar locations with a touch of atmospheric landscape design. These maps are mainly aimed for less serious multiplayer matches, where human players can fight for control from their safe main areas, or roleplay their story of choice.

Due to the complex main estates and large number of pre-built buildings, it is not recommended to play against AI players on these maps, unless the starting position allows them to construct their economies in order to them fully function. But let's tarry no longer, here are ye maps:

Trails of Transylvania

With a winding river that eventually ends up in a freezing estuary, this coastal swath of Transylvania features a large territory of varying flora and fauna. While the mainland is predominantly flat and lush green, offering lots of villages for the taking, an icy canyon with narrow ridges surgically infiltrates the western lands with some crumbling fortifications that can be used for overwatch. 

On an island further to the northeast sits an Evil Lord on his perch, on an elevated peninsula armed to the teeth, which is nigh impossible to approach. From his seat of power, this player is bound to send the legions of hell, looming over a central city that has been taken over by growth and the elements of nature. Will his corruption spread to the lands?

Siege of Camelot

Upon one of the rugged hills in a distant region of green pastures stands one of the defenses protecting the estates of the mythical Camelot, 'the jewel of the crown'. Protected by towering spires and an advantageous high ground, Camelot thrives thanks to its vast resources and its noble people.

However, war has arrived. With resources strategically scattered, victory will not depend on brute force, but on clever strategy. Can Camelot withstand the onslaught? Will you defended the throne to the last man, or will you coordinate a relentless assault to see the myth fall?

The Little Hill

An unparalleled struggle for the dominion of these ancestral lands. Monstrous beings and immense creatures station themselves in the distance, lurking in the shadows to hunt down and destroy those who safeguard these realms. The little hill's vast and numerous spires hedge the horizon, which is loomed by an Evil and Ice domain in the distance, their endless legions assembling and waiting for their masters' marks.

Defend the walls of the great bastion, forge unbreakable alliances, or descend with fury from the cold, hidden mountain passes and tenebrous crags to claim these lands.

The SHN staff wishes you a great deal of fun and immersion with these maps!

Guau muchas gracias Asofix me siento muy honrado de poder aportar a la comunidad de Stronghold Nation. 

Es de destacar el trabajo de los administradores y moderadores que dirigen esta comunidad. Mi aporte es pequeño comparado con el esfuerzo tan grande y notorio que ustedes hacen a lo largo del tiempo para mantener este espacio vivo y ordenado. Sin su dedicación, no seria posible. 

Crear estos escenarios ha sido genial gracias al editor de Stronghold Legends. Es una herramienta increíblemente intuitiva con posibilidades casi infinitas para plasmar cualquier idea.

Por eso, quiero animar a los demás jugadores a crear y sigan aportando mapas y demás as contenido tanto en Legends como en los demás títulos de la saga, incluido Stronghold 4. Me daría mucho gusto verlos jugar en mis mapas y, sobre todo, probar las creaciones de ustedes.

¡Muchas gracias a todos por el espacio y por jugar!

Wow, thank you so much Asophix! I feel very honored to be able to contribute to the Stronghold Nation community. The work of the administrators and moderators who run this community is truly remarkable. My contribution is small compared to the enormous and noticeable effort you all make over time to keep this space alive and organized. Without your dedication, it wouldn't be possible.

Creating these scenarios has been fantastic thanks to the Stronghold Legends editor. It's an incredibly intuitive tool with almost endless possibilities for bringing any idea to life.

That's why I want to encourage other players to create and continue contributing maps and other content, both in Legends and in the other titles of the series, including Stronghold 4. I would love to see you play on my maps and, above all, try out your creations. Thank you all so much for the space and for playing!
