Castle Conquerors

Basically, this is a custom melee game inspired by Age of Empires 2: the Age of Kings and some other strategy games. There's no background story for this map. It's just a whole bunch of humans fighting each other in a medieval setting. Each player would start with a wisp (the starting loation is randomized), and he or she would move the wisp to the desired Castle or just a nearest one. The game functions pretty much like a melee game, except everyone uses the same race here. All Castles are pre-built in the sense that walls and gates are already there. The objective is build your base in your Castle, muster an army, and go conquer other players' Castles. The game can support up to 10 players. Below are some more specific details on some aspects of the game:

Resources - Gold can be collected by having Peasants work on the Farms. Farms here are essentially mini gold mines that can be built. You can also have Peasants kill livestocks you found to further collect more gold in early games. Gold also comes in every 60 seconds, and of course the amount depends on how many Towns and Castles you own. You can also trade to get gold (more details on this are in the game). Lumber, obviously, comes from trees. Population cap is initially 80, and you get 10 more for each Castle and Town you own. This is to prevent mindless massing.

Battle - Just like in melee games, every unit can counter certain others and vise versa. For example, Footmen can demolish a squad of Archers without much difficulty thanks to their Defend ability. Mounted units, likewise, would fall before a sturdy line of defense full of Pikemen, and so on. Units also do bonus damage when they're attack the enemy from the side or from behind. This encourages more strategies in addition to unit countering. Ships also play a role in this game.

Heroes - there are 6 heroes in the game. The General (Pally) focuses mainly on defense and aiding the troops. The Knight Commander is a tank that can take some punishments and dish out even more on the front line. The Blademaster, like in melee game, is expert in killing specific targets and whatnot. The other three heroes are the Ranger, Pyromancer, and Archmage. Their purposes are just like that of their counter parts in melee game.
