Week #15 - Stronghold 2

[Lord_Chris 283]

Your challenge is: Setup a script to move a ship from one corner of the map (your map from week #12) to another, taking with them an invasion. The invasion must then invade and destroy a castle for Lord Barclay built into the hills.

 

For this challenge, it would be best if you tried to leave as much of the original intact map as possible. You can alter the terrain, but it would be best if this was only altered slightly. Also, you will be marked on the scripting this week, not landscaping.

Good luck everyone!

One question: what is with those people who hadnt made a map in week 12?

 

im sure that im supposed to take my own.

[Lord_Chris 283]

If you haven't already entered then you can make a new map from scratch. But it's still scripting that we're focussing on.

[Tokamaps 27]

But i can use my own One from week 12?

 

It Not i have a Problem, because my scripting is ready finished.

[Tokamaps 27]

well you can make small edits in map, or just use ladder man or smth?

[Tokamaps 27]

Really, i can use ladderman, But they need to destroy it right?^^

 

And for the ship, its just Builded from a Viking boat + a trade ship.

 

I think it would be the best if i let the Screenshots doing the work. But Not this evening. Im Too Tired to turn on my Computer aggain.

Yes - you can use your castle from week 12.

Anything you like! As long as it complies with the criteria, you can have as many invasions, boat invasions, additional invasions .etc as you want! :)

You have to destroy it, but you could destroy it with a trebuchet, for example. It can be destroyed with anything.

 

And for the ship, its just Builded from a Viking boat + a trade ship.

 

You can use Trade Ships, Viking Ships, or even both together if you want. If you read the bottom article on the help list (first post) it gives you a guide as to how to move ships effectively, and some ideas that you may want to include.

[Tokamaps 27]

My Problem is just that a Trebuchet Or any other Siege equipment will Not be Used BY the Invasion because theres no suitable way for e.g. Trebuchet's.

 

So i would Like to ask wether its allowed to use a Pre-Bild Trebuchet for that?

Just to drop this one here... That week the challenge was to create "a non-functional, scenery based map with rivers, waterfalls, hills and cliffs", so seas were not mentioned. It's not an issue, sea can be easily added, but I wanted to note this one. :)

[Lord_Chris 283]

Yes, you could use a pre-built trebuchet if you need to.

[Tokamaps 27]

Thanks Lord_Chris!

[Lord_Chris 283]

There are only a few hours left to the deadline! Make sure to get your submission in!

[Tokamaps 27]

Heres my entry For this week.

 

The raid on Rocksspring Castle.

 

This is an installer exe and if it is being blocked by your antivirus, than simply turn the antivirus of or ask me for the map as file.

just updated and added the file as well :)

[Lord_Chris 283]

You can't upload .exe files as they are blocked by the forum. I'd just upload the map file instead in a .zip as usual.

[Tokamaps 27]

whats with the .exe in a zip? do that works?

[Lord_Chris 283]

Yes, that works - but I'd still recommend you just upload the map file. exe files do simplify things but personally I prefer to make changes needed by hand.

Well am kinda stuck, for some reason i just can't make enemy invasion spawn, maybe its bug because i made ruins, nor sure. if i won't find solution can i make player army to kill Barclay?

 

Edit: i think i solved this problem

I would really like to mention, that its quite unfar to say that e.g. a map wins the weeks contest because of the opinion of two persons.

 

I would like it more if more people would be able to decide ehos best.

[Lord_Chris 283]

Thanks for both of your entries! I will go and take a look now. :)

Do you mean you'd rather have two people judging the challenges rather than one?

[Tokamaps 27]

There should be at least 9 or 10 Persons judging that.

 

If 2 people just Like the Design of a map personally than maybe someone Else might has Labor

Another opinion.

 

This should only be for the creative and not for those with Gaming objectives.

Well first of all there isn't enough staff here, second contest should have more entries like 20-30 to have more judging people. Sadly we don't have both ?
