Aquitaine, Home of the Lace Tower (Walled)

Description
The Lore
Aquitaine is a bretonnian city, and the ducal capital of Aquitaine. It is famous for the Lace Tower, a tall spire built with so many windows that it looks as though it is made from stone lace. Dwarfs who see it mutter darkly about unsafe structures and future consequences, but the tower has stood for over a century.

The fact that the city is small doesn't mean it's defendless: in the last years the duke has reinforced the city to resist beastman attacks coming from the surrounding forest, including a full wall with moat all around the city, and a complete reform of the Lace Tower, to be used as a defensive position.

The Map
Aquitaine, Home of the Lace Tower is a medium-small bretonnian map, with the city of Aquitaine in the middle surrounded by forest and agricultural land. There are four entrances to the town, one on each cardinal direction.

The city itself is in a slightly elevated position, with strong walls in each side (two of them cavalry-approved) and surrounded by open fields, perfect for cavalry. The "Lace Tower" in the middle of the town will shoot rotten corpses (that poison whoever they touch) to the enemy in an almost 360º arc, as long as you control it.

How to play
Select the map from the "Siege Battles" maps in custom battle (It's called "Aquitaine, Home of the Lace Tower", with a CA logo). A bit harder to play it in multiplayer because the other guys need to download the map first.

The FAQ
  • The tower is too stronk/weak!: The tower is a very nerfed version of the level 4 bretonnian tower, with A LOT LESS health (down in three/four salvos of a trebuchet), less damage, a bit more ROF and a 360º arc. Also, it causes poison.
  • There are horses on my walls!!!!!: The western and southern walls are "cavalry-approved", which means EVERYTHING can go up there, including cavalry.
  • Too.. many... plants!: Press space.

The Credits
  • Frodo45127: I did the map.
  • Kazad: He did most of the buildings you can see inside the town.

Then it is weird that I got that issue in the first place.

None that I know.

Then I have no idea why sallying out on this particular map doesn't work for me. What mod could hinder that?

I just tried this weekend, and it worked as it should, and this map has received 0 updated since it was released.

I am sure, unless you have fixed it in a new update. Because when I tried it a few months ago this year, I couldn't get outside the city until the enemy got inside the gatehouses and the walls opened and I could at last get out but when the walls closed again I couldn't get outside again. It was very frustrating.

The gates should belong to the defenders at the start of the battle, and should open when the defender tries to get out. You sure they don't work?

Well when I try to sally out with any units at all, even flying units like pegasus knights, there is no way to get out of the city. They can't get out because the walls are preventing you from getting out and the gates can't be opened unless the enemy is at the gates. It's a bit hampering of what one can do.

I hope that made more sense.

What do you mean with "stuck inside the city"?
stofffe92 Sep 10, 2019 @ 2:43pm 
It is indeed an amazing map. However, your units are basically stuck inside the city. Can you fix that?

It looks great!
