The conquest of Europe is rather 'grand' (OTT if you want).
Map 1: Looks simple, but tried it twice on normal difficulty and failed. On easy, I had to rush my spearmen up the keep and lost half of them.
Nothing new here, but I have no problems with that. Replicating, a historical castle, event or the original SH itself is in my opinion an aspect of creativity. The author has to work within tight parameters.
The terrain is interesting and one obviously needs to take advantage of heights.
Story is not very convincing. Perhaps the lord being attacked while on a hunting trip may have been better suited for the scenario.
Map2: A much easier map, I found it easy on normal level.
Not much to do, economy wise and one cannot erect walls or hovels, nor can one recruit troops. So occupy your eighteen peasants well and take care of your soldiers.
Terrain is simple; but still looks nice and giving height advantage. Played on a mini map, this is SH at its simplest, but it is still a pleasant, quick map.
Not much of a story, it is more of an intermezzo.
All in all, It was fun. Pity that fans of this version dwindled, we would have enjoyed the full campaign by another die-hard. Thanks AltherotCZ.

These are rather simple maps by way of mission and terrain, however they still manage to immerse the player. This is what is so outstanding about them. The terrain, for example is plain, but contours and heights are essential for playability and balance. Pity that there was no response when the demo was issued, we would have probably enjoyed the whole campaign.
