Welcome to the 2005 Historical Campaign Contest. The aim of this contest is to design a historically accurate campaign based on a real-life historical event.The campaign should have a minimum of three, maximum four playable scenarios. Cut-scene scenarios, maximum three, allowed. The historical theme is free, but limited to the period of AoEII, a history section mandatory. The campaign can be about historical characters like the ES campaigns, like the historical Harold fair-hair in Gyda’s Challenge. It can be about historical facts but a fictitious character like the templar in ‘Revenge of the Templar’. Important is the historical background of the campaign.
