| + | n level 6, the extremely difficult one where you have to fortify the Keanor city across the river as well as defend against the enemy on your shore, you can let Keanor fall, in which case Sartor will be captured. The next "secret" level then will be of you rescuing Sartor, after which the game will proceed as normal. Pretty nice. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The game was a big succes in Spain and Italy, multiple campaigns were released for these markets, this is the original site where you cand download the campaigns legally and free.

| + | . | ||
| + | |||
| + | Since these campaigns were only released in Spanish (and Italian?), I have provided an English translation of them. For three of the campaigns, the translations are incorporated into the campaign file already; since "Excalibur and King Arthur" is still for sale, I have only provided translated text files that must be manually imported into the mission files. (Instructions are in the README file in the zip archive.) The zip archives below for "El Cid and the Reconquista" also includes a translated fan mission written by the author of the campaign. I hope to translate some other fan missions later and post them here. (Many fan missions--in Spanish--can be found on FX Interactive's website here.) | ||

Mods
https://www.moddb.com/mods/tzar-and-the-legend-of-the-return-of-the-crown/downloads/early-access-campaign-release n level 6, the extremely difficult one where you have to fortify the Keanor city across the river as well as defend against the enemy on your shore, you can let Keanor fall, in which case Sartor will be captured. The next "secret" level then will be of you rescuing Sartor, after which the game will proceed as normal. Pretty nice.
The game was a big succes in Spain and Italy, multiple campaigns were released for these markets, this is the original site where you cand download the campaigns legally and free. The audio is in spanish. https://www-fxinteractive-com.translate.goog/p004/tzexgengis.htm?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=pt-PT
Alternatively, tou can download the campaigns transalted to english, only without voices. See here the post on gog https://www.gog.com/forum/tzar_the_burden_of_the_crown/expansion_campaigns_and_fan_missions_english_translations .
Since these campaigns were only released in Spanish (and Italian?), I have provided an English translation of them. For three of the campaigns, the translations are incorporated into the campaign file already; since "Excalibur and King Arthur" is still for sale, I have only provided translated text files that must be manually imported into the mission files. (Instructions are in the README file in the zip archive.) The zip archives below for "El Cid and the Reconquista" also includes a translated fan mission written by the author of the campaign. I hope to translate some other fan missions later and post them here. (Many fan missions--in Spanish--can be found on FX Interactive's website here.)
