In short: If you want to have tougher AI-opponents, then this pack is for you! Try the original and the Warchest trails with these castles, and you are guaranteed a tougher experience. There are two machines on each of the three towers, and there are also stationed 3 fire-ballistas just outside the castle.

The picture used as illustration to this download show one of the Rats castles. There are no nonsense castles in this pack like the ones you find in the original game. As an example of their improved ability to defend themselves, they now ALL use big towers with machinery (mangonels/ballistas), and they also use fire-ballistas stationed outside their castles. My mission was to have the AI's fight better, and the only way to do that (if you don't go the unofficial patch route) is to improve the characters castles. So this pack contains 128 brand new and unique castles. There are 16 different characters in the game and they each have 8 different castles. This is a modification of all castles built by the AI.

Note - I am not nor do I claim to be the original author of the above content. This map is replica of the region of Mordor in Middle Earth from The Lord of the Rings and intended as a 1 vs 4 AI skirmish. Wahoo! You are now in the SCE custom scenario selection area.To speed things up for future times, keep saving the file under the name of "autowin" until you win.Your save file is now prepared (in other words, you don't have to do any of the steps from 1-10 again on your computer) Go up 1 folder and find the ExtremeSaves folder (or something along those lines).Right-cluck and press copy on the save you saved early (cut works too).
