A straightforward, 1on1 map to be played against a AI or a friend online.
I made this map so that you guys can enjoy Stronghold 2 in it's most "basic" form; You and your opponent rules one castle each, and the objective is to take your oppponents castle by force. Use the Estates located all over the map to increase your income and the bridges to move swiftly across the land.
Divide and Conquer!
Please, rate and comment so I know if I should continue this or go back to Age of Empires 2 mapmaking ;)
Playability: 5
Map is easy to navigate, and the AI as usual builds much quicker. I played with Edwin as an oppoonent just to test the map, knowing I'd beat Edwin. If Olaf, or the Queen comes at you in this one, it might prove difficult.
Balance: 2
The AI builds a lot faster than one can as a live player. I don't know how to correct that. Resources granted at the beginning was possibly a little too much which made winning very easy.

What story? It's a King Maker map.
Additional Comments:
A well done map, albeit, we all know a few trees wouldn't stop a bunch of troops, and in fact, might make them more dangerous. It was perhaps a little too easy to build defenses before the AI came calling.
