Death Grounds, sequel to Greatwar. You first have to deal with loads of defensive catapults before you can take up the settlements. The ongoing attacks give this one a rating of extreme difficulty...

THE GREAT WAR 2: DEATH GROUNDS!
By Paul O'Keefe (again)
DARZAG was the first person to beat The Great War!
Hello all. It's been a while since I uploaded "The Great War," and
since then I've gotten quite a bit of e-mail. Somepeople beat it and sent
me their file, others asked me for help,and still others just wanted to
thank me for giving them a challenge. The download count of "The Great War"
is like 189 (!). I wasn't expecting so many people to notice it.
Anyway, you probably already know that I've made the sequel, and
since you're reading this you must have already downloaded it. I HAVE NOT
BEAT THIS LEVEL YET, but then again, I haven'tried to yet. I'm sure it's
possible, but I haven't done it yet.
This time around, you control the noble Humans. Personally, I like
the Humans better. Your base has 5 farms, a town hall, barracks, lumber
mill, stable, blacksmith, church, and a tower. You have 4 knights, 4
archers, 4 peasents, 2 conjurors, and 2 clerics. Once again you do not
have any technology. If you want it, you research it.
There are multiple enemy bases, and more parts where you can walk
across water and trees. I had a LOT OF FUN WITH CATAPULTS (hint, hint) but
you'll just have to see it for yourself.
For some reason, the Orcs peons act really weird. They will like walk
around the entire map. I saw a peon walk INTO a raider, and then come out
again without the sack of gold. I have no idea what causes this, but I
don't think it will affect gameplay. There are still five peons working
correctly. This is only a custom game, so the enemy doesn't use any cool
magic spells. My next level will be copied over on of the last levels, so
the enemy will use major summoning, etc.
Well, I know this file is much shorter than my first one, but I
don't give any hints in this one. One last thing:
Sorry, :( :( :( :( :( but I lost the names of
everyone who beat The Great War. The only name I remember is DARZAG, because
he was the FIRST ONE TO BEAT IT, AND SEND ME THE FILE! But I still had
a lot of fun looking at everyone's saved games. If you want to send me your
saved games for Death Grounds, name the saved game after YOUR SCREEN NAME!
Example: Great War- OrcRaider2
Okay? Good luck with THE GREAT WAR 2: DEATH GROUNDS!!
P.S. I already have an idea for my next level! DO you want to be Orcs or
Humans? Do you want to fight against the Orcs or Humans? E-mail me with the
answers! Give an answer for both questions, because I can do a Orcs vs.
Orc level, or Human vs. Human. Whichever gets more votes is the winner!
