Tides of Time - Act I: Horshoe Heights is the first scenario in the campaign. It has important economic goals in addition to the invasions.
In this chapter, you have been ordered to produce goods at your father's request. Since resources are scarce in your homeland, you venture into your enemy's territory looking for a suitable location rich with iron and stone.
Notes:
- The included text file contains Chapter 1 of the campaign story.
- This campaign was designed with the veteran Stronghold player in mind. Some scenarios may be quite challenging.
Playability: I found this a very testing challenge, it annoyed me enough to make me determined to beat it after several restarts.
Balance: Perfect balance, I never felt this was impossible,
just bloody hard!
Creativity: What struck me most was the apparently random events, noted because I played this several times, at first this puzzled me but I can now see how the author may have achieved this. For example only once in several plays did I receive reinforcements, dont know what conditions I met but they sure helped.
Map Design: Fairly realistic map, bit sparse but suits the gameplay.
Story: Good read.
