Recommended Posts

Maybe other people will aggree to judge.

 

I did thought it would be better if maybe 3 - 4 people are judging for the reason to have several opinions.

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

 

Yes, @Floki is correct - there aren't enough staff members or entries for judges of that number.

 

Back to the challenge results for this week, both invasions were very well scripted, and they both had unique points that were good.

 

 

@Tokamaps

 

This was a good invasion, but there were some noticeable errors in the scripting. The first error I noticed was when the Viking boat was supposed to separate into the Viking boat, they stayed still for a while and di not move. I also noticed that the Trebuchet took a very long time to destroy the gatehouse (even on game speed 90) and because of the position it was in (very far away from the gatehouse) it resulted in very inaccurate firing. The other problem I noticed was that when Lord Barclay was killed, the game did not win and I was left on the map. It's a pity that these errors were present, because the map itself is fantastic and so is the invasion!

 

@Floki

 

The invasions here were very well scripted indeed, I was very impressed. There was just the correct number of troops to push through the lines and get to the keep. I also liked the unique touch that was added which made the player's troops arrive in a boat, and two invasions afterwards which also did so. The part which I liked the most was the twist where the player defended the castle along with Lord Barclay and you could move the troops where you liked, and the balancing was very good.

 

Congratulations @Floki, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Congrulations to your win floki.

 

 

 

The Problem which occurrs by sieging barclays castle is: the wooden Plattform Bridge causes the Bug that any Siege invasions will Not Start sieging the castle, none of the Siege equip would work. Its just realistic that a trebuchet is slow in destroying a castle because in medieval its function was to weaken down the defence before the charge on the castle.

 

And what You said about that viking Boat just standing there for 2 months is just because the troops need to get on the boat.

 

I had really big Problems getting that castle just attacked, because an Invasion will Not Start to Siege because of the wooden Plattform Bridge.

 

i understood this week as to have the player just watching the happenings.

 

My issues were mainly caused by bugs.

 

If you dont trust me, than just test this the invasion is not going to siege the astle through the wooden bridge, hope fully the atachment on this Post is going to show that this bug is unfixable, right now.

 

 

 

This map wasnt Made for function just for Design.

Iam able to view Attachments.

 

That Test is for showing You that Invasions that need to cross a wooden platformbridge will Not Start sieging.

 

Thats it.

 

And i think its, sorry but, a Bit unfair to rate my entry down because of a Bug on it.?

 

I would have told You this per pm, but theres a Problem with that: when i click on the pm Link ob the Main side, that it says: error 404, You dont have permission to Access this Page.

 

Thanks in advance.

    • A Brief Summary on Stronghold 4's Gameplay

      With the October Skirmish demo and two preceding ones released prior, we got a good taste of how SH4 will play out - so far. Despite the overwhelming similarity in the core, the game has quite a few quirks that might need explaining, and getting a feel for the early-game in particular. There is virtually no difference between Skirmish matches and scenario missions in terms of mechanics - save for random events, so if you haven't played the demo, or want a semi-comprehensive list, this post
