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.
Rome

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.

Valley of Valhorn

Uploaded to Stronghold Heaven 12/03/2006
This map was the second chapter in the Reign Of Fire campaign, a Stronghold Heaven community campaign.
The map seemed to work at release, but you can't place a granary, making it unplayable. Below is a modern, fixed version of the map.
