A huge waterfall divides the countryside East from West with a very long bridge across it.
This 4 player map requires control of the local estates to bring much needed resources under your Lord's command. Lots of places to ambush your opponent, no matter where you start. A nice diversion from the norm!

Maybe it's just the style I play, but I found that Edwin always managed to rush in before I had really established myself. Had to restart numerous times. Good though because it means it was challenging.
Balance: 4
Once I had figured out how to establish myself before getting smacked it turned out to be well balanced.

Very creative. I haven't seen one that utilized the terrain like this before (although I am still checking the archives).

Beautiful map. I particularly loved the water effects.

King maker so doesn't need one and I will not allow this category to bring down the rating of a good map.
Additional Comments:
Love this map. Took several attempts to figure out the best placements for buildings to provide the best efficiency.

It worked well. No problems. Challenging as well. For some reason, Edwin is really tough on this map. Very cool!
Balance: 4
It can be pretty challenging form any position, and each castle has its ups and downs.

Not really an original map style or anything, however, the waterfall was great and could be the first of its kind, so just for that inspiration...
