In the middle, some children played and by the wall stood a lazy guard.

Outside, a patrol of 4 grunts and one officer iddly patrolled the area. In the second mission, I had this problem: Officers are not such easily distracted and tend to shout on soldiers who fight, yet they have their weaknesses too. The underpayed low-rank soldiers are attracted to the glitter of gold and they can start fights which often result in all of them but one knocked off. You get the picture.Įvery man has his special abilities, for example, Robin can throw leather bags of gold, which spill as they hit the ground. The second, triggered a net which disposed of another pair of grunts. The first trap alerted a small team of archers which shot three of the sheriff's men. The horses run off, dragging some unlucky man as the soldiers started combing the forest. As the convoy proceeded, a trap triggered and smashed the carriage. The traps are triggered by shooting the bull's eye above them. My two men hid in the dead leaves by the bridge as Robin Hood prepared to unleash the deadly traps on the unsuspecting soldiers. My next mission was to attack a convoy so I chose a couple of men and proceeded. It seems the missions vary between defending a castle, attacking a castle, ambushing sheriff's convoys and other missions. After you leave the merry men to their duty, you open the map and prepare for a mission. Every man counts: they can train in Archery (if they have a bow), prepare food, harvest apples, treat wounded, fletch arrows, prepare nets, train in hand-to-hand. Untrained farmers join the charismatic hero if he knocks out guards instead of killing them, thus you're heavily rewarded by NOT using violence. I expected Robin Hood to be a nice alternative to Commandos, but I got a nice alternative of Jagged Alliance 2: after the first 2 missions, which serve as tutorials, I entered the Sherwood Forest Hideout. For those reasons, I didn't bother with it. The second commandos was rather easy and then most of Pyro's employees left before the 3rd one was finished.Commandos: Destination Berlin had more action than stealth and had more rush tactics than careful planning. I remember playing the demo a while ago and took this game as an alternative to Commandos. None of the ones who are shooting has red hair.Today, I entered a newly oppened EBGames and my father bought me this game for 8 CND.

Some landed on the target, but none came close to the center. One by one, each young man shot his best arrow. The round target was so far away it was almost impossible to see its black and red circles.

On the day of the contest, ten fine bowmen lined up. “Can't you see this is a trap? When they see you, they will grab you.” Of all the Merry Men, Robin Hood trusted Little John the most. “Robin Hood, don’t go to the contest!” said Little John. The Sheriff said in a low voice, “If I know Robin Hood, he will not be able to stay away from such a contest. The winner will go home with a Golden Arrow.” “I will call for a great contest,” he said, “to find out who is the best in the land with a bow and arrow. His Merry Men would warn him each time they saw the Sheriff of Nottingham or one of his guards in the woods, and Robin Hood would escape or hide.
