Ahhhhh. Good ol' Minus Tirith. A magnificent castle in the peak of it's glory (until it got almost wiped out if it weren't for the army of the dead).
So now that you've gained control of the magnificently huge Minus Tirith, after its caretaker..em..threw himself off the peak (while he was still burning), you got to somehow manage a castle that is way too big for its own good. So what do you do in this situation? You take the stuff you need from your neighbors of course. Those lil estates that are scattered all around your castle's front gates are yours for the taking.
Take up your sword, don your armor and ride out with your white horse and slaughter everyone that comes your way!
Hints/Tips
-Do not fight 4 vs 1 if you can't take the heat
-Try to keep your estates, I mean no body likes losing their stuff. But in this case the estates are very important.
No Estates = No Resources = DEATH = >:(
-build a TON of CARTER POSTS to transport your resources. They're cheap to build so spam them like crazy! ;)
-Personally I don't recommend gathering resources from your own estate. Its not very economical considering getting to the stockpile is a trip and a half around the world. So just build all your sawpits, farms,stone and iron mines on your neighboring estates and send them to your castle in bulks
-You'll have plenty of HONOR from the statues in the city so consider hiring monks and an occasional knight or two. The knights are very useful on horseback to quickly take out enemy siege weapons, archers, and well basically everything. I had enormous fun storming the opponent with 50 knights
Looks good! You might want to try making this into a war scenario! With this map it would be awesome!

haha yes war scenario is what immediately comes to people's minds when they think Minus Tirith. I guess that's the reason why I wanted to do Minus Tirith as something that's not war scenario, but something different. Kingmaker can do this by offering a lot more variety in how you play the map.

I found no problems in gameplay just sometimes they outrun you and we have no chance to an attack to stop them or to flee. I found every AI castle working well.
Balance: 3.5
Altrough its unbalanced... what to say? We have a pre-built castle BUT the huga castle need huge defenses. Huge defenses need many resources and pepole to feed. But Somewhy I cant get the requied resources.

The most important parts from the movie is perfectly worked out. Congratulations!

Maybe some more obstaces beetween the castles. Like forests and Randmly thrown rocks cause the AI uses a straight way again and again. They cant even suprise me sadly. Othervise youi did the castle well and the other parts are awesome too.

The story gives itself :D
Additional Comments:
Good work.. The castle is good. Maybe some more work around the other estates and castles. I bet you can make even better. Just keep up the good work. :)
