Pretty basic, large, asymmetrical and unbalanced 2 player map - opposing starting points, four villages. A river seperating the two sides with three crossings in the north, middle and south.
Playability: 4
The playability is good here given that there is lots of space to build and lots of nicely placed resources to use.
Balance: 3
Balance here is decent. Besides the marshes closer to one player than the other it's good. Each player has the same amount of space and resources. Although, resources being placed randomly gives a bonus to realism.
Creativity: 3
You can see the designers creativity here by just viewing his landscape. He presents it nicely by naturally placing it. Natural is always good.
Map Design: 4
With picturesque mountains and a viewtiful river, this rating soars. The authors design in this map is very eye catching that will feed your eyes the whole game. Nicely done!
Story/Instructions: 2
While there is limited instructions, it is without a story. 2.0 :(
Additional Comments: You have some very nice landscaping skills. I look forward to seeing more of this in the future! Do more!
