Above the castle there is a small strain of rock dividing the water and blocking access to the west. In DK2 there was a barrier too but one could open up a small passage, so one could take over the citadel, gain 10 (?) skeletons, build up a second base and attack the castle from the west, taking out every room and killing/converting every foe... (In the meantime I attacked in another way and was able to take over nearly all room even in the citadel and get a higher score.)

What passage are you refering too? I havn't played this map in a while.

Why didn't you open up the tiny passage to the west as in DK2? Takes a lot of fun (playing for a high score) out of this map.
