Robin Hood - Prince of Sherwood

1190 A.D.

After the failure of the Third Crusade to recapture Jerusalem, can Robin Hood escape the city, sail back to England and reach his father's estate? Or will the England he returns to be a completely changed realm, ruled by unjust ursurpers? And what can one man do to ensure the return of the rightful king, Richard Lionheart?

This is a six scenario campaign narrating the life and glorious deeds of Robin Hood and his band of merry men loosely based on the 1991 movie "Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves", as well as the 2002 video game "Robin Hood - Legend of Sherwood".

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Britons have always been my favorite civilization in Age of Empires II. Yet for some reason, the developers never allowed us to play a campaign *as* them, even though Medieval England has many heroic tales to tell. One such tale that almost every child knows, is of Robin Hood. I came across him as a hero unit (along with Friar Tuck) in the scenario editor and always wondered why they never found their way into a campaign. Thus, at the tender age of 12 and only owning a German version of the Age of Kings, I decided to create my own campaign (this is why you will find German text in the scenario images). I created 5 of the 6 scenarios this way back in the mid 2000s, including map layout and major objectives, but the trigger work was still in its infancy, just like my skills in making maps pretty with "decorations". I recently returned to Age of Empires II (thanks to the HD edition) at the ripe old age of 28, and thus decided to spend the summer improving on this campaign I had created as a kid, including translating everything into English and adding one additional scenario set in the heart of winter, exploiting the additional map tools of The Conquerors expansion. Devising a map, and making all the triggers work are two completely different things, and so I spent most of the summer 2019 editing and testing until I felt like the campaign was working well enough for me to publish it for the first time.

cheers and have fun playing,
