For years there is no contact to the harbour in the north of Midland. Bandits have settled across the area. The king instructed Knight Jonathan to re-establish and secure the trade route. Times are tough so there will be no fresh supply and Jonathan has to hope for the help of the locals.

This is the translation of my first own map. Feel free to tell me about any serious mistakes I made. I hope I didn’t forget any passages.


Addendum: The game is crashing for some (many?) players shortly before or after the release of the hostages. I thought I solved the cause therefor. This obviously isn't the case. Unfortunately I have no explanation and can't solve this at the moment.

At least there are some players who got through, if only after multiple tries. I'm sorry if you can't continue there. Comfort yourselves with the thought that the time I wasted with this map exceeds yours many times over.



A few hints:

Thordal is the default knight.

Actually normal in the absence of modern communication devices, but unusual for the Settlers world: In order to set interactions in motion personal contact is required. So if you have to talk to someone you need to ride to him. In the majority of cases this is demanded via quest anyway.

The action is rather a storyline than the construction of a settlement, combined with few intense fights. Therefore there is little scope in handling the quests. All quests have to be completed. An incompleted quest leads to defeat or delays the game progress. So keep your eyes and ears open and read the quest texts exactly, especially when it is about to not do something. Before critical situations there will be a message that encourages you to save.

The castle and cathedral upgrades are gradually enabled, to match the city development with the game progress. So don’t start building like crazy.

I have built in some camera scenes. The first one at the beginning of the game unfortunately jerks a bit. If it gets too much in the course of the game you can disable (and enable again as well) them by riding to the western signal fire.

Be curious. There is everything you need and you need everything there is.

Be careful at the beginning when claiming territories. Don’t mess with the bandits.

Attacking the bandits premature is pointless. Better wait until you are instructed.

Battalions can be replenished at your barracks.

All start and end points of paths and roads that have to be built are displayed exactly with the loupe.

The game duration is above average (at least for my playing style).

According to one of my test players this map is not suited for beginners.



Happy settling.
