Fletcher's Castle, set in Norman England, requires you to build a castle in 10 days or less, using soldiers and workers. How you, as the knight, do this depends on your strategy. You have a choice of sites, each with some advantage and problem. You must obtain food, guard from attack and prevent your workers from escaping. Your progress may be recorded on the worksheet provided. Once you have decided on your strategy, it is implemented by allocating the necessary combinations of people to tasks to ensure they are successfully completed so the project may viably continue. Very dull you may think, but combined with poor graphics and a lab-ourious way of entering your options does anyone ever get to filling in the record sheet - let alone build a castle. |
