After you kill all the enemy armies in the forest, cross the lake and attack the heavily guarded enemy fortress. This scenario is for beginner and mid-level players. I hope you like it.

Battlefield (116 K) by Jurgen van Eck, 1 player (98/03/11)

This scenario only requires your skills as a field general, as no resources and build-up is involved. Make your way past a hostile defending army to get a gift to your King. Good use of the natural coverage and elevation of the terrain should help you out.
The scenario needs the Battlefield.scn file as well as the battlefield.per file.

The Return of Jason (72 K) by Stephen, 1 player (98/03/10)

This scenario was inspired by the excellent "Let my people go". It's a puzzle solving journey back to your own people to regain your homeland. I have tried to make the puzzles as original as possible. It is quite difficult in spots and does require a lot of thought but each puzzle is solvable. I've thrown in some battles on land and sea just to round out the scenario. I have tested it extensively and found no problems but please email me (stephen.ryan@doi.vic.gov.au).

Eye of the Storm (30 K) by David Lindhe, 1 player (98/02/08)

A basic build-and-destroy map, with plenty of resources if you can find the right places. The key for survival is exploration to find a more strategic stronghold to keep your enemys of your back.

Escape of the Tribe (10 K) by Arthur the Great, 1 player (98/02/04)

In this scenario, you start out just leaving your transport from your old country, your mission is to reach your new city at the bottom of the map. The only catch is that you will have to make the venture through the enemies' city. This is a hard scenario that definetlely requires more brains than brawn. Its definitely beatable, but make sure you take your time.

Tang Invasion (21 K) by Luis, 1 player (98/01/27)

This is a continuation of the Tang Invasion scenario. The last time the Tang atacked you were able to stop the attack (if you didn't play my last scenario you should play it first). However, the Yamato suffered heavy losses and another Tang army took the capital. There wasn't even a battle, the army walked into the city, which didn't have defenses, fought a few soldiers and destroyed the emperor's palace.

Hectors Return (62 K) by Paul Ridout, 1 player (98/01/26)

The Ancient Ring of Wisdom (25 K) by K., 1 player 3cp (98/01/11)

This scenario, The Ancient Ring of Wisdom, is a single player mission in which you face 3 computer opponents. You have to destroy the one that betrayed you, and retrieve The Ancient Ring of Wisdom, an important artifact.
It's a challenging scenario, with which you'll have lots of fun. You are advised NOT TO CHANGE THE SETTINGS, 'cause you'll probably ruin the challenge.

Navig uprising (41 K) by Paul Ridout, 1 player (98/01/11)

You the Navig start at the north end of the lake. Resources are plentiful, but you will need them to win the battle. The AVE and LAUP tribes are advancing through the ages quickly. You must do the same and claim the lake and the surrounding area for yourself. This is my first upload, I have a campaign in the making and need constructive criticism, as to how easy\hard you experts out there find this scenario.
This is pure fantasy and not based on any historical location or time.

Lord of the land (31 K) by Neil Rodgers, 1 player (98/01/05)

You are the lord of this island and your castle occupies the top of the island. There are three other small villages on the island, but they have become tired of being ruled by you and have allied together to try to over throw you. You must defeat the traitorous villagers.

Intruder (50 K) by Brian Chau, 1 player (97/12/25)

This is a nice single player scenario. You have two allies and three enimies. All computer players will make massive attacks with 20 or 30 units and are licensed to kill. I have made your allies fight with fewer units than the enemy so you will have to help them out of you wanna win :)

Deathmatch Axeman (18 K) by Brian Chau, 1 player (97/12/23)

This scenario is a demonstation of the Deathmatch axeman rush the way the computer does it. I've tried to make it as hard as I can. Anyone who beats this the scenario without cheating have to be excellent players.

Tang Invasion (20 K) by Luis, 1 player (97/12/18)

The Tang emperor has ordered an inmediate destruction of the Yamato clan. Some Yamato scouts have recently reported a huge Tang army headed straight to the Yamato capital. The Yamato, now weakened by all their battles against the Tang, recruited almost every men in town to serve the army. The Tang have penetrated the city defenses. Its up to you to save the Yamato clan.

The Summit (286 K) by Hamlet, 1 player (97/12/07)

"The Summit" is a 1 vs 5 CP game with custom AI's and PER's. It's pretty safe to say, that it's quite tough. It is specifically designed to be a singleplayer scenario and can not be used for anything else. STORY : Basically the story is that 2 Phoenician high priest's are summoned to a decisive meeting in a temple behind enemy lines. One priest is in the colony Carthage to the far West - and the other is in your "hometown" Tyre in the East. The player has to guide the priest's to this meeting - if you do you win.

Ohlove's World (58 K) by ohlove, 1 player (97/11/27)

This is a nice not too tough map. You start with 2 opponents. There are some rumors that there is a strong culture called XENEN. Itīs better not to disturb their sleep but you have to. The legend said if you disturb their sleep they will wake up and become strong again.
Winning: Catch all 5 Artefacts and 7 ruins of the XENEN and you will be the master of the continent.

The Siege (36 K) by Chris Cameron, 1 player (97/11/20)

You take control of a newly constructed castle that is about to fall under siege. You start with limited resources (you did just buy a castle after all), but have a developed community with a small village and quarry. Make sure and set the difficulty on Hardest to help simulate te feel of an invasion and siege. The computer set-up has been tuned for this. While you may feel overwhelmed at first, remember to keep your eyes open and use the castle effectively. Please email any suggestions/ideas to ferret@clipper.net. Oh yeah, and have fun!

Death Rider (15 K) by Mike Edwards, 1 player (97/11/09)

On this map, you start off with 4 soldiers and a towncenter and three servants. The computer has a huge base but is put in defensive mode so it won't attack. This seems like a very fun map; when I played it, it lasted for 3 hours.
