Stronghold

Stronghold is a real-time strategy game from 2001.

As a teenager I was an active member of Stronghold Heaven where I shared custom maps for the game. A few even became some of the most popular on the site. Thanks to that community, my old maps from the mid-2000s are still preserved online today.

I shared these maps on the Stronghold subreddit in 2025, where it quickly became one of the most upvoted posts of all time on that subreddit.

You can download my maps and try them out yourself.

This page covers work from 2005 to 2008

Rome

Rome was a huge project I worked on when I was 16 years old, with some help from other Stronghold fans. It got a perfect 5/5 rating and is one of the most downloaded maps on Stronghold Heaven.

The Andora series was a five-chapter campaign I created, inspired by a fantasy world and novel I was developing at the time. The map scenario descriptions feature quotes in an original Elvish language I invented for the setting.

Ghost

Uploaded to Stronghold Heaven 09/12/2007

Ghost won a Fantasy competition held by Stronghold Heaven, it got a 5/5 rating. I used a hex editor on this map to change the appearance of the enemy soldiers, making them look ghostly. This effect doesn't seem to work on modern versions of Stronghold.
