In game 3404281 (Age of Realms 1) I conquered all castles, but the game has not ended. Is that normal?

You must hold the castles for a full turn.

Really? Oh darn! Then I suppose I just lost the game. Why isn't it explained in the instructions? :-(

It does say 'Hold the castles', like in the log it says 'Receives _ troops for holding _'

I suppose that in the eyes of a lawyer you are right. It does say it. But I also suppose that you will agree that it is not very clearly explained :-( It would be much better to say "hold for one turn".

By the way, thanks for your answer :-)

It is in the instructions...
Instructions wrote:Some maps have objectives which you must conquer and hold for one round to win the game.

I agree, it requires some thought ;)

And you are welcome, any time :)

Problem is in scarcity of room, which is quite usual on maps. That's the reason why first objective maps didn't have a proper explanation. Later, map makers even stopped to try, since that rule became common...

Ok just checked. It is in the Gameplay Notes page. And I searched in the Game Options page. Again, a lawyer would say I am wrong. But not so sure about common sense. By the way, the instructions section could use a little revamp, just my 2 cents.

I know it could use a revamp, I'm just pointing out to you, it IS in the instructions. I think lack is planning on a revamp of the instructions too, though...

as with all the maps, you have to lose a little to learn how to win anyways...
