This continent looks like Europe. Also you can choose a country of your choice. May be you choose Spain - place "the Queen" in UK, "Olaf" in Scandinavia; and so on ...
But try all countrys one by one , so you can test your skill vom soft to hard.
Playability: 1
Too many birds, but all else works well.
Balance: 2
Didn't get too far because of LAG from birds.
Creativity: 3
good re-attempt.
Map Design: 3
average as far as a map goes, but not as good as original game landscape.
Story/Instructions: 1
not there at all.
Additional Comments:
Could be a fun variation if you had play-tested through and removed some wildlife.
Review retracted, but left for demonstrative reasons. While this map may not be all that great, the reviewer needs to give some specifics to backup their grading on each subcategory. Be sure to read the Review Guidelines and write more to support your scores.

This map looks good, something I was looking forward to playing. I have a rather good computer and graphics card.
3.20 GHZ AMD Athlon II 650 quad core processor with 8 gigs of ram and a 1gb ATI Radeon HD 6850, my system runs GTA 4 on max settings 99% flawlessly.
However, this map lags my computer with all of the birds. I tried to edit the map and found and removed a lot of the birds but must not have removed them all because a ton of birds still appeared. I like the setup and look of the map. The pre-built estate was nice except for the non-aggressive troops like the assassins that didn't attack unless attacked and when the estate is purchased the crossbow men just kill the peasants... The iron/stone islands also puzzled me a little. The map looks cool and fun to play but it's still rough around the edges. If you could update the map I would gladly add it to my collection of kingmaker maps.
In short, remove the birds and the prebuilt estate (atleast the troops, I do like the estate setup) and this would be a sweet map.
