Get the Castle Strike demo off worthplaying (160mb)

1) Tutorial 2 will demonstrate the basics of the construction of both a castle and the neighboring village. Castle Strike does not allow to build infinite walls, instead the game tries to create a more historical picture with the main military buildings inside the castle and and the economical buildings in the village. So there is the extra task of protecting the village and the serfs. Another change which might need some getting used to is the fact, that in Castle Strike only a limited number of units are able to damage buildings, not to mention tear down castle walls. Except for the siege weapons only the following units are able to harm buildings:

• Shortbow or longbow men, if the fire arrow upgrade was researched, including one hero, the - English Branwyn. Damage to buildings and siege engines, but no walls.
• Zee German arsonist, carrying a torch to set fire to buildings, including one German Hero, Alrich von Drachenfels (a bad guy... of course). Damage to
  buildings only.
• Saboteur, a guy who plants bombs on buildings or siege engines.

2) A mission based on the last mission of the German campaign. It was slightly changed, the movies (game engine) telling parts of the story were removed, instead a short 'flight' over the scenario is displayed. The deadly harquebus shooter and some of the larger siege engines are not available and: !!!!!!!!!!
the mission is playable in this demo with the easy difficulty only !!!!!!!!!! Although larger numbers of enemy units might appear, they will harm your units not as much as in the normal mode (HINT: the multi barreled gun does barely harm buildings or machines, but is deadly against 'soft' targets) To win the scenario you have to damage the enemy keep down to 1600 points and then send one unit into it.

If you wonder why all the units except for Thorwald von Rabenhorst speak German... this scenario plays in Germany, so the regular units and serfs speak their respective language. Thorwald and his sister, the siblings of an old German noble family get involved into the quarrels of the conflict between the French and the British during the 100 Years War, so later on there will be more units of those two nationalities. Only the Heroes and the narrator of the story will be localized.

So enjoy playing this demo of Castle Strike and we hope we caught your interest to play more...
