Following a dispute with his son Gruffudd in 1221, Llywelyn Fawr took over his
territories of Meirionnydd and Ardudwy in southern Gwynedd and began to build
Castell y Bere. The castle was built on an elongated plateau of rock in the upper
Dysynni valley. On the 25th April 1283, Castell y Bere was surrendered to King
Edward's forces. Castell y Bere was the last of the Welsh castles to fall to
Edward. But despite the King's attempt to quell forcibly any resistance by his
ambitious castle building scheme, the Welsh rebelled in 1294, and the self-
proclaimed Prince of Wales, Madog ap Llywelyn led the North Wales mob. By the time
they were stamped out in the following year, Castell y Bere was a gutted shell.
All that remains today is a few pieces of rock and the outline of the huge keep.

Angers, the Capital of the historic province of Anjou, is considered one of the
most beautiful cities in France. Foremost among its many notable structures is the
magnificent twin-spiraled cathedral of Saint Maurice. The castle of Angers is an
extensive complex of fortifications. At the base of the towers are slopes, which
would have functioned as a typical medieval way to stop battering rams. Originally
the semicircular towers around the castle perimeter were much taller.

>>3 briefing_03-------------
Guadamur was built in the latter half of the 15th century by D. Pedro Lopez de
Ayala and is located approximately 12 Kilometers West of Toledo. Often referred to
as one of the most aesthetic castles in Spain, Guadamur castles lies on a flat
plain of land, unlike most Spanish castles which are built on large hills, while
the fortifications are not as substantial as most castles of its period. The
castle was burned by French invaders in 1809 and remained in ruins until its
restoration in the late 19th century.

>>4 briefing_04-------------
Coucy Castle started as a small wooden tower on a stone base back in 920 by Herve,
Archbishop of Rheims who was eager to protect his territory of Coucy against
invasion. Over the years it was then expanded into the fortress it is today.
First, Enguerrand II had the courtyard chapel erected in the 11th century. Next it
was Enguerrand III that had the current castle placed in the 13th century but he
died in 1242. But it was Enguerrand V who did the majority of the work,
transforming the small fortress into a giant palace. In 1540 the castle had new
fortifications placed on it to reflect the period. Then there was a small siege
lasting 3 months in 1652, after the governor of the Duke of Orleans refused to give
the castle to the royal troops, but this ended when the castle surrendered. At
this point Mazarin decided to dismantle the fortress since it had become too much
of a threat to the King's power. The castle was later bought by Louis-Philippe for
6000 Francs.

Gluecksburg castle is completely surrounded by a natural lake and is considered to
be the most important example of renaissance architecture in Schleswig-Holstein.
Nikel Karies, a master builder from nearby Flensburg, built the castle between 1583
and 1587. In 1848, during the Schleswig-Holstein uprising, the Danish devastated
the castle but King Friedrich VII chose it as his summer residence some years later
and had it refitted.

Harlech castle can be found half a mile from Tremadoc bay in Wales. Harlech was
created by King Edward I as part of an iron ring of castles surrounding the coastal
fringes of Snowdonia. The ring of castles intended to prevent the region ever
again becoming a focal point of insurrection and a last bastion of resistance. The
defenses of Harlech castle were first tested in 1294 when a 37 strong garrison
fought off Welsh besiegers. In the following century the castle was neglected but
was repaired before being besieged again by Owain Glyndwr and was captured in 1404.

The German castle of Wartburg sits on a hill looking over the town of Eisenach,
Thuringia. The castle, which started construction in around 1067 by Ludwig the
Leaper, sits on top of a mountain crest 1300 feet above sea level. During ten
months between 1521 and 1522, Wartburg Castle provided refuge for Martin Luther.
During this time Luther translated the Old Testament into German. Other famous
people known to have stayed at the castle over the centuries includes the saint,
Elizabeth of Hungary who was the wife of Ludwig IV.

>>11 briefing_07-------------
Haut-Koeninsbourg Castle is located in Alsace, France. This castle is the last of
several to be built on the Staufenberg overlooking the Rhine plain. The view from
the highest tower over looks the small town of Colomar. Standing an impressive 757
meters (2498ft) up in the mountains the castle is in a very obvious defensive
position, but still came under a lot of struggles until in 1899 it was left in a
ruin. It was later that Guillaume II bought the castle in this state and had it
restored.

>>12 briefing_08-------------
The Normans commonly used this standard design of Motte and Bailey castle as a
quick means of fortifying lands without spending too much time, manpower or
resources. They could easily invade a country, erect a Motte and Bailey style
castle, before leaving a few men to guard it and continue with the invasion. The
Motte (Hill with the keep on top of it) was a man-made mound of earth where
anything important to the castle was kept, while the Bailey, kept other not so
important things safe. Some Motte and Bailey castles had more than one Bailey.

>>13 briefing_09-------------
On the summit of Jettenbühl, which dominates the Eastern portion of the city of
Heidelberg, is Heidelberg castle, also known as the red walled castle and is
thought to have been built over several slow, small steps between the 14th and 17th
century. The castle is noted for not having any uniform constructional plan and no
common building line. It was neglected after being occupied during the thirty
years' war (1618-1648) but was repaired after being turned over to Bavaria before
being reduced to ruins by French troops in 1689. The castle was then damaged some
more by a lightning storm in 1764 before being partly restored during the Romantic
Movement.

>>14 briefing_10-------------
The castle of Javier is located in the province of Navarra, Spain, and is
approximately 30 Kilometers Southeast of Pamplona. Javier is thought to be a fine
example of Spanish military architecture and was originally constructed in the 10th
century as an Arab Fortress. The Arab contributions to the castle, however, have
since been replaced or were heavily modified during subsequent centuries. The
tower of homage (or Keep), which can be seen through the main gate of Javier, is
the oldest known fortification tower in Navarra and built during the latter part of
the 10th century. The rest of the castle was then built around this tower in the
11th century. By the early 16th century the castle was very well renown for its
fortifications.

Leeds castle is a Norman castle that was first built 900 years ago by Henry I
(William the Conqueror's son). The castle is named after the village of Leeds in
Kent, of which the Saxon name would have been 'Esledes'. Leeds castle has had
quite an extensive history including being home to at least six Queens during the
medieval period and the main residence of Henry VIII who spent a lot of money and
time updating the castle while still retaining its defenses. Once, during the 17th
century, Leeds was used as a prison for 600 captured French and Dutch sailors.
During this time the prisoners managed to set fire to the castle and the entire
Eastern wall fell into the moat and was not repaired until 1822, Nowadays, Leeds is
still standing amongst 500 acres of beautiful parkland. The river Len feeds the
moat of Leeds.

Monteriggioni is without doubt one of the most classical and best-known Italian
walled towns. The walls, which are still nearly intact today, cover a length of
570 meters and are alternated by 14 towers and two gates. The Senese gate rises at
the base of a tower while the gate facing towards Florence is defended from one of
the towers of the fortified perimeter wall. The hill where Monteriggioni rises is
natural, even though it does seem to resemble the artificial hills used for the
Normans mighty Motte and Bailey castles. The walls are circular and were placed by
following the ground's natural curves. The town itself was built by the Senesis in
the years 1213-1219 on a hillock at Dominion and overlooks the Cassia road.

Arnold Von Isenburg, Archbishop of Trier built the fortress of Stolzenfels around
1250 on a rocky spur overlooking the Rhine, upstream from Koblenz, to secure the
surrounding terrain. In 1688 the troops of Louis XIV of France destroyed
Stolzenfels during the war of the Palatinate Succession. In 1802 the ruins came
into the possession of the city of Koblenz, which presented them to the Prince of
Prussia, later King Friedrich Wilhelm IV in 1823. The castle was then rebuilt in
the years afterwards as a way to celebrate German chivalry, culture and history and
promote the Rhine as a symbol of national freedom.

William the Conqueror chose the site for Windsor, England's largest castle, 900
years ago in 1070 and was designed with the intention of guarding the western
approaches to London. Starting life as a simple wooden stockade, it was to be the
first of a chain of fortifications built around London by the Normans to control
the South-East of England. Each castle in the chain would be no more than a days
march on foot in case of invasion. Windsor's commanding position, on a hill
overlooking the Thames, was the natural place for the principle building in the
area at the time. Windsor has only ever been the scene of military action twice -
in both cases a siege, and within only 22 years of each other, in 1193 and 1215.

Carisbrooke Castle is situated on the small island of the Isle of Wight and covers
a huge seven-acre site. The castle, which was built on Saxon fortifications, has
features of Saxon culture dating back to the 8th century, which can clearly be seen
running below the Norman Keep. The Saxon burhs were originally designed to defend
England against the Vikings. Back when Carisbrooke was a Saxon castle, William the
Conqueror thought that it was such an important structure that he gave it to his
Kinsman, William FitzOsbern, who began the daunting task of turning the old Saxon
burh into the Norman castle by building a campaign fort in one corner. During the
hundred-years war, King Stephen laid siege to Carisbrooke, which at that time, was
in the possession of Baldwin de Redvers. Baldwin held fast for a while but had to
surrender when the castles water supply ran out. Later in 1377, the French
attacked the castle but retreated when the French commander was killed. The
remaining French troops were then made to pay gold to finance the rebuilding of
Yarmouth, which they had burned earlier. At its peak Carisbrooke had over 3000
soldiers garrisoned in its grounds at one time.

The site that Dunnottar is built on is an impressive site. Even if there were no
castle there, the site would still not fail to impress. An enormous flat-topped
rock standing 160 feet above the North sea with sheer cliffs on three sides and the
sea smashing at the base, the castle could have possible been one of the hardest
castles to siege in the UK. The site was chosen in Pictish by Saint Ninian as a
place of strength and as somewhere to retreat in times of need. Dunnottar castle
is in such a good tactical position on the cliffs that there once a siege against
the castle where only 70 men held out for an astounding 8 months. Dunnottar has
seen many famous people over the centuries, some of which included William Wallace,
Mary Queen of Scots and the Marquis of Montrose. More famously though was the time
that the castle held out against the might of Cromwell's army for eight months and
saved the Scottish Crown Jewels (also known as the honors of Scotland). Afterwards
they managed to keep the Jewels hidden for nine years while the English army
searched in vain.

When William the Conqueror (at the time known as William of Normandy) defeated
Harold (Edward, King of England's brother) at Hastings on October 14, 1066, he was
crowned King of England and immediately started to build small forts around the
face of England. One such fort, situated in the Southeast of London, near an old
Roman wall on the North bank of the river Thames, was chosen by William to be
removed and replaced with a mighty stone Stronghold. This new tower was to be a
symbol of power and a place of defense as well as a prison for his enemies. He
named this new fort the Tower of London. The finished tower was, impressively,
over a hundred feet tall and its walls almost 15 feet thick in places and took
twenty years to finish. From that moment on the tower became the center of many
historical events. One such important incidence happened on May 19th, 1536, when
Anne Boleyn was executed under Henry VIII's orders after she gave birth to a girl
(Queen Elizabeth I) instead of a boy (although King Henry's reason for her
beheading was that she had committed misconduct). Elizabeth herself was then
thrown into the tower dungeons after her half sister Queen Mary felt she was
threatening her throne. The public, who knew Elizabeth to be innocent, went into
an outcry and eventually, on May 19th 1554, she was released. Three years later,
in 1558, Elizabeth was coroneted and became the Queen of England. Today the Tower
of London covers 18 acres of land and is an important site both historically and as
a tourist attraction and landmark. The tower, due to its impressive defensive
capabilities, also held (and still holds) the crown jewels.

Edinburgh castle sits on top of an old volcano top, a staggering 437 feet from sea
level. It has been used as a fortified point in Scotland for at least 2000 years
by many different armies, ranging from the Romans to the Scots and then the
English. The castle also has had several royal residents in its time, the first of
which occurred in the 11th century when Margaret, wife of Malcolm III was present
there. Due to the fact that a lot of Scottish treasure, records and artefacts were
kept in the castle, many Kings also spent their reign there. When William the Lion
was captured at Alnwick in 1174 Edinburgh was one of a number of castles handed
back to the Scottish shortly afterwards in 1186 due to a marriage between Scottish
and English nobles. In 1291, Edward I took over the castle for the English again
and removed all records and treasures, most of which were never returned. Several
attempts to retake the castle failed (William Wallace had some partially successive
attempts) even though there was only a garrison of 350 English soldiers at the time
and so the castle stayed in English hands until 1313. Later that year, the Earl of
Moray led a party of 30 men who scaled the cliffs and climbed over the walls into
the castle. Afterwards, King Robert the Bruce ordered the entire castle to be
destroyed (with the exception of St Margaret's chapel which was spared) so that the
English could not use the castle or the surrounding area again. In 1333 Edinburgh
was again occupied by the English and partially rebuilt although in 1341, Sir
William Douglas, disguised as a merchant, stopped his horse and cart under the
portcullis and allowed a band of Scots to rush in and retake the castle again.
Sometime in the early 1400s Henry IV of England besieged the castle, but had to
withdraw when bad weather fell in and his supplies ran short. By the end of the
15th century the castle was not used much as a royal residence any more. Nowadays
the castle is probably where most tourists visit during their stay in the area.

than planned. Make haste to the blasted heath to the south where you will find a
small castle. Bolster its defenses and hold off the enemy as best you can.

>>168 briefing_40-------------
In readiness for his forthcoming crusade, the King has ordered that the royal
armory be restocked. Forthwith, your fiefdom is to supply His Majesty's steward
with a quantity of weapons. You are to have the shipment of weapons ready for
dispatch before the King and his army set forth. A local trader here sells iron,
which you can buy to produce some of the weapons needed.

>>169 briefing_41-------------
Maintain a maximum fear factor for the given duration to prove you are the cruelest

Camelot, the legendary castle of King Arthur is a beacon for love, honor, and
nobility. Arthur established the round table for his knights as an example for man
to follow. How long will it take you to destroy it?! Or could you, as the fabled
Arthur, hold the castle currently under siege from Mordred's evil legions.

>>174 briefing_46-------------

conquest? Of course this time you won't have Merlin to help you!

>>176 briefing_48-------------
An evil witch has placed a fiery curse on the castle. Build up enough resources to
start another settlement elsewhere before the entire city is engulfed in flames.

>>177 briefing_49-------------
One attempt at constructing a settlement on this ancient druidic holy site has
failed. For some reason all attempts at producing food have proven fruitless. The
locals are up in arms saying that you are tampering with powers beyond your
control. Nevertheless the King demands that a large settlement should be built on
this strategically important site.

>>178 briefing_50-------------
You have to make and store the required amount of ale in your stockpile. Be
warned. You can build spearmen to defend yourself from the wolves constant attacks
but it will not be too long before they completely over-run you. Gather the hops
you need quickly then produce and store ale before concentrating on production of
spearmen.

>>179 briefing_51-------------
You took an army to kill the Wolf as a revenge attack for killing your father.
After a long and bloody fight your army was defeated. You managed to escape the
Wolf's clutches. Battered and bruised you return with a small band of men to find
your castle and the surrounding resources overtaken by the greedy Pig. With the
Wolf's army hot on your tail you better move fast. The Pig has also been busy
fortifying his castle and the situation is looking desperate. Capture back the
resources and destroy the Pig and his men and this will make the Wolf think twice
before sending his entire army in.

>>180 briefing_52-------------
The Pig and The Wolf have declared war on each other and you are caught in the
middle. The Pig wants to gain control of one of the Wolf's castles but has to get
through you first. Defend yourself from the Pig's attacks and take control of the
Wolf's castle yourself. The further you progress the lower the enemies moral will
become and the more food and resources you will get access to.

>>181 briefing_53-------------
This is the most important piece of land between the King and the largest army of
the Wolf you have ever seen. The loss of this land would allow the Wolf to send
huge armies into the King's land, so the King has sent you to lend aid to his
General, but you arrive to find the General slain, most of the ground troops
slaughtered and remaining army scattered. You are wondering how they pushed back
the last assault when one of the survivors tells you that the last of the Wolf's
troops were defeated by a few brave archers who stood their ground while others
ran. In order to survive, you will have to take over and hold back the Wolf
yourself. Knowing that you will never be able to hold him off indefinitely, you
decide to negotiate with the Wolf. You ride out to the Wolf who agrees to retreat
in exchange for an amount of gold, sufficient enough to 'compensate' him for the
war. The Wolf, not feeling very patient, refuses to stop attacking until he is
happy with the amount of gold that he has received. You will have to take
desperate measures in order to win the upcoming battle and collect the gold.
Surveying the surrounding lands, you notice the Wolf's men marching towards you so
you quickly construct a wooden wall, which you man with every archer you can find.
Demoralized, the archers line up knowing they are preparing for the hardest battle
of their lives. Defend what is left of the castle against the Wolf's men and
gather enough gold to force the Wolf to retreat. Be warned, we have no resources
available to rebuild the castle.

User Created Map (Théoden). Firefly Difficulty Rating - Quite Easy. The world was
quiet for many years after the Battle of Asgard. Peace was disturbed only by a few
isolated raids. No one posed a threat to Bengladar. Relations between Asgard and
Bengladar remained strained, but they finally ceased to attack one another. Then,
54 years after Laday's death, the news of a new enemy in the far north spread fast:
A king by the name of Gelor, whom people called "Wolf". Little was known of his
realm, the place called Nardon, the Kingdom of the Wolf. His men descended from
the mountains in a wild rush and overran the neighboring lands. Before you know
where you are, he is standing before your own lands. Faced with the overwhelming
power of his forces, you reach an agreement with Bengladar. But you are too late.
No sooner has the treaty been signed than Bengladar himself is overrun and
destroyed, and you find yourself fighting for survival.

>>184 briefing_56-------------
User Created Map (Théoden). Firefly Difficulty Rating - Very Hard. Having
repelled the Wolf in a long, hard battle, you make up your mind to attack him. You
dispatch your troops to the far north to build a castle, but you are waylaid before
you get there, and your people are scattered. Your horsemen are forced to make a
long detour, while the rest of your troops have already erected a keep. But they
are helpless without the horsemen. You must lead your horsemen back to the others,
but the Wolf's castle looms between you. You have no choice but to pass through
the cursed valley, a place that not many have ever proved able to find. The path
that leads to it is concealed, and yet it is your only hope. If you succeed, you
must then set up an army strong enough to defeat the Wolf. But beware! The Wolf is
gathering his forces around him. You must be prepared to face countless attacks.
Good luck! You'll need it...

We have made it.

>>219 DE_DLC0_9-------------
Just in time!

>>220 DE_DLC1_M1_0-------------
There's the old fort up ahead, sir. Almost there!

>>221 DE_DLC1_M2_0-------------
Longarm's troops have started their advance. They will drive the Rat's men towards
us. Hold onto your helmets!

>>222 DE_DLC1_M2_1-------------
The Rat's besiegers are starting to throw down their weapons. It's over! The plan
worked!

>>223 DE_DLC1_M3_0-------------
The villagers reckon we have about half the goods stored, sir!

That's all the winter supplies gathered, sir. The headman is proper pleased.

They seem to be retaliating, sir!

>>238 DE_DLC1_M5_7-------------

There's no end of them.

More of the enemy.

>>253 DE_DLC2_M3_0-------------
The fort is ours; now we just have to hold it!

>>254 DE_DLC2_M3_1-------------
There's so little space here, sir; it's going to be tricky.

>>255 DE_DLC2_M3_2-------------
We've bought ourselves some breathing room; shall I make the men ready to head into
the gorge, sir?

>>256 DE_DLC2_M4_0-------------
Bandits!

Sir Longarm's ships have been sighted; they will be here soon.

>>266 DE_DLC2_M7_1-------------
The ships are dropping anchor, sir. It looks like we are getting off this rotten

>>267 DE_DLC3_M1_0-------------
Captain, judging from those clouds of dust, there seems to be large numbers of the
enemy heading our way.
>>268 DE_DLC3_M1_1-------------
There are just too many of them; we will never hold.

>>269 DE_DLC3_M1_2-------------
The Captain has ordered a retreat. Fall back to the boats, men; we are getting out
of here.

>>270 DE_DLC3_M2_0-------------
The fort has few defenders, sir, but it's still not an easy prospect.

>>271 DE_DLC3_M2_1-------------
We should make haste, sir. It won't be long before the garrison realize that we
have tricked them.

>>272 DE_DLC3_M2_2-------------
The garrison have returned, sir. They are at the end of the beach.

>>273 DE_DLC3_M3_0-------------
We need to make use of this pitch, Captain. We will never hold otherwise.

>>274 DE_DLC3_M3_1-------------
I almost feel sorry for them.

>>275 DE_DLC3_M3_2-------------
Unless I'm mistaken there were fewer of them in that last attack, sir?

>>276 DE_DLC3_M3_3-------------
I think they have had enough, sir!

>>277 DE_DLC3_M3_4-------------
We've done it!

>>278 DE_DLC3_M4_0-------------
An enemy patrol, sir.

>>279 DE_DLC3_M4_1-------------
Another patrol; we best take care.

>>280 DE_DLC3_M4_2-------------
The area is swarming with them.

>>281 DE_DLC3_M4_3-------------
More of the enemy, sir, are arriving on our flank.

>>282 DE_DLC3_M4_4-------------
We should take our time crossing the plain, Captain; the place is riddled with
enemy troops.

>>283 DE_DLC3_M4_5-------------
The foothills of the mountains. Proper cover at last!

>>284 DE_DLC3_M5_0-------------
Wolves, sir, and lots of them...

>>285 DE_DLC3_M5_1-------------
That's all the goods collected, sir.

>>286 DE_DLC3_M6_0-------------
Here come Hogsfoot's men, sir.
>>287 DE_DLC3_M6_1-------------
More of them, sir. There can't be too many left holding his castle now.

>>288 DE_DLC3_M6_2-------------
We've done it, sir. Hogsfoot's men are retreating back to his stronghold.

>>289 DE_DLC3_M7_0-------------
Sir, the partisans have come to aid us as promised.

>>290 DE_DLC4_M1_0-------------
Captain, there's no way we can take out those flanking towers. We'll just have to
get past them as fast as we can.

>>291 DE_DLC4_M1_1-------------
Well we made it, sir. I guess we should be pleased! But judging by the speed those
scouts set off down the road, it won't be long before we have company.

>>292 DE_DLC4_M2_0-------------
Over half the slaves have stayed with us, sir. We should put them to good use
immediately.

>>293 DE_DLC4_M2_1-------------
Not sure how long we can hold here, sir, but I've been talking to one of the miners
and it seems there is a mine that leads almost out into the next valley. With a
little time, he feels a few of them can break through and give us an escape route.

>>294 DE_DLC4_M2_2-------------
The miners report that they have finished the tunnel. Now would be a good time to
leave, sir.

>>295 DE_DLC4_M3_0-------------
These woods are teeming with the Wolf's men, sir; we need to move carefully.

>>296 DE_DLC4_M3_1-------------
There's some of the slaves we freed, sir. They seem eager to join us now.

>>297 DE_DLC4_M3_2-------------
We've found some more miners, sir.

>>298 DE_DLC4_M3_3-------------
More escaped slaves, sir.

>>299 DE_DLC4_M3_4-------------
We are almost at the island, sir. Hopefully we can rest the men there.

>>300 DE_DLC4_M4_0-------------
The island is riddled with disease, sir. We will need to counter it somehow.

>>301 DE_DLC4_M4_1-------------
They have found us, sir. Our pickets report the enemy starting to arrive on the
river bank.

>>302 DE_DLC4_M4_2-------------
The island cannot hold, sir; we need to escape.

>>303 DE_DLC4_M4_3-------------
Into the river, boys! The current will carry us down stream.
>>304 DE_DLC4_M5_0-------------
Good riddance! With the town rid of its problem, I suggest that we make tracks,
sir. News of our 'tidying up' here will spread quickly.

>>305 DE_DLC4_M6_0-------------
I see why they call it the Eagle's Nest.

>>306 DE_DLC4_M6_1-------------
The Wolf's forces are spent, sir.

>>307 DE_DLC4_M7_0-------------
We are in, sir! We captured one of the Wolf's guards; the Jewel is indeed here!
She's held in the keep.

>>308 DE_DLC4_M7_1-------------
Just a little further, sir. The keep is up ahead.

>>309 DE_DLC4_M7_2-------------
Congratulations, sir! The castle is ours and if I may, please let me introduce you
to a certain lady, known to us as 'The Jewel of the North'.

>>310 DE_DLC4_M5_1-------------
The Wolf's henchmen are well protected in their fortified manor houses, sir. We
should take out the weakest one first; hopefully by then some more of our men will
have recovered.

>>311 DE_DLC4_M5_2-------------
One down, sir; and the priest reports that a group of our men are now back on their
feet.

>>312 DE_DLC4_M5_3-------------
That's another of the Wolf's thugs that won't be bothering the town again. We
should head to the church and collect the last of our troops.
