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 of my maps became some of the most popular on the site with tens of thousands of downloads. 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
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.
Years later after I made this map, someone said it looked like the city of Constantinople. I agree it looks like illustrations of Constantinople, though this was just a funny coincidence. What's even more funny is that Constantinople was at one point called New Rome.
Troy
This map was largely based on the 2004 Troy movie.
Andora Chapter 1 The Prologue
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.
Andora Chapter 2 The Fortress of Nador
Andora Chapter 3 The Pass of Cauros
Andora Chapter 4 The City of Stars

Garathir and Cargaras
Ghost
Ghost won a user-submitted fantasy map competition hosted by Stronghold Heaven, earning a perfect 5/5 rating. To create its ghostly atmosphere, I used a hex editor to alter the appearance of enemy soldiers. This effect no longer seems to function in modern versions of the game.

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.
