Attacks in sandbox mode? Possible?

[ScruffyBamboo]

Is it possible to have enemies attack (on demand) in sandbox mode? I'm pretty sure I remember that being an option at some point, either in the SH series or maybe even in the Castles series (yeah, I'm that old).

I looked around, and altough I was encouraged to see a big shield at the top, it doesn't seem to allow you to trigger attacks - only random events and setting of money.

Wouldn't that be really cool though? I mean sandbox is fun, and it's nice to have all the time in the world to build your castle... but once you've build your ultimate fortress, what's the point unless you can throw some troops at it, and see how it fares?

I'd love to be able to send say 10 catapults, 100 archers, 100 sowrdsmen (or whatever), and have arrive from the direction I choose. Have multiple waves. Possiblty at intervals, possibly random (there should be options).

I personally think it would turn sandbox into one of the coolest modes in the game - that's where I'd be playing.

Thoughts? Is this already in there and I just missed it?

Not at the moment, no.

Seems like something a game like Stronghold should have.

Well guys I have good news for you, Im Lord Vetka at strongholdnation and have posted a free play map there called "Free Falls", on this map you will find 6 trigger points to get the desired invasions, 4 markers in the North and 2 sign posts in the South West, theses are scripted invasions including siege equipment and will test your castle! And your PC!

That is very, very cool... I'll check that out, thanks!

But I did hear from the devs that a "launch invasion" button is, indeed, coming to sandbox. Can't wait! But this might do very nicely in the meantime!

It is cool, you will be tested, it's not hard to add in some invasion triggers to a free play map, I used near a marker to trigger the invasions, walk a soldier up to a marker and the invasion or invasions will come!
