Description
Aedile Ordeal - User-created War Scenario made by aedile (http://stronghold2.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=858)

Story:

A fun fantasy Ordeal with six missions to make good as you progress from a small lake island through the tasks of fun and skill to finally conquer the castle on the coastal island.

A curse upon you! You are have been put on a small island in a lake with a keep and little else. Your first task would be to rid your boxed in land of wolves, and continually control the wolves. Then you must move through Bear Valley. Lots and lots of bears to get rid of in any fun way you can conceive.

Moving on through the missions, you must get through the realms of hostel enemies and get to some estates with more supplies as you build enough arms and forces to take on the well fortified castle on a island off the coast. Like Dantes Inferno, you make your way through six (not seven) stages to complete your tasks and win your way to succeed.

Passing the start requires some thought.

1. There are no Walls. So place the Barracks near the valley towards Olaf. This will allow your archers at height to fire as the bears, wolves and enemy approach you.
2. Build Barracks/Prison/Armoury. No need for a Treasurer as you can sell wood.
3. Place as many woodcutters on your island to remove vegetation, then when cleared build as many spears/xbow/bow makers/hides
4, There are 5 spawn points for the wolves, place archers&spears near them to eliminate wolves as they appear(continuous).
5. Build hunters/cattle/apples where you can for food and honour.

The map breaks if you kill William before eliminating the wolves. No way to progress, you're literally just stuck.

This is a nice mission, it flows pretty well.
But there's problems: Firstly, you start with enough stone to build barracks, armory and courthouse (which you all need) but not the treasury, and you can't trade stone at all. So if you build the treasury early, or lose/delete a building and try to rebuild it, the mission effectively breaks since you can't make units.
In general this mission is not too easy, the wolves ,Olaf and Edwin keep you on your toes.
But sometimes, wolves would wander further into the map, only eventually returning. I'm pretty sure this made the first objective (to remove them) take ten times longer.

So if you don't fall into the stone trap, you have a great-looking map that starts out tough, but gets quite easy after dealing with Olaf. It's really rough around the edges though, something I did not expect from a mission curated by Firefly.

Very well done. A great challenging, fun game! Thanks! I got the victory after killing William.

good looking map, but really bad missions. Just a waste of Time.

where is the stone? at the start I am forced to deal with criminals even though I have 100 popularity. using stone for the courthouse takes it from my armory and treasury. I literally can't make anything more than armed peasants. Can't buy stone either from market. what am I missing ;-;

Too many bugs. First i killed all the opponents, and then decided to finish with the wolves. The map is broken. William's castle can be stormed even without siege weapons.
