Stronghold Vocabulary Flashcards

[Brad Hanel]

Hello!

There are a lot of field elements and new terms in FIRST Stronghold, and all of it can be a little difficult to take in. Thus, I created a set of flashcards to help learn it all.

Feel free to let me know if anything should be added/changed.

Good luck and have fun

The cards for "challenge" and "scale" say that the tower has to be weakened to perform those actions, which is incorrect. You can challenge or scale a tower that is not weakened. Also, the it's "Sally Port," not just "Sally."

Otherwise, this is a nice resource. This year's game sure does have a lot of odd terminology to learn, doesn't it? Makes you wonder if someone on the GDC got a book called "Visual Encyclopedia of Castles" for their birthday, and liked it so much they based the game around it.

EDIT: Also, might I suggest adding a card for "DAMAGED," and editing "BREACHED" to say "when four of the five defenses are DAMAGED".

Upon first read, I thought that the challenge and scale points could only be scored once the tower was weakened. The challenge and scale points can be scored regardless of tower strength, and the tower weakening only counts towards the ranking points (during quals)?

Also, thanks for the input! I'll fix it.
