STR03: Swamp (Stronghold: On the Edge of Chaos)

STR03: Swamp is the third map of Stronghold: On the Edge of Chaos. It was designed by Daniel Gimmer (Tormentor667) and uses a custom music track.

This level uses the "Deadline" mode, where the objective is to prevent any demons crossing the deadline.

Essentials
You start in a building at the south end of the map, which contains the deadline and all the item pads. This level contains a large cross-shaped bridge over an acid pit - falling into the acid is instantly lethal and will cost you a life.

Monsters initially spawn across the north bridge and head due south to reach the deadline; on wave four monsters will start spawning across the west bridge as well, and on wave seven they will also start spawning across the east bridge.

Blood demons should be prioritized whenever they spawn; they are just as fast as regular demons but have twice as much health. When rocket zombies spawn, watch out for them but note that they will often kill themselves and other monsters with their attacks.

A shotgun can be found on a rock in the center of the level.

Completing this level awards 200 bonus credits.
