Playability: 5
My friends and I play Stronghold about once a week. We always play this map. What more can be said?
Balance: 5
I think it's more balanced than this map was with 8 players. I also prefer the keep you have to capture not being on a hill that's choked off on each side, as is the case with the stock KotH map. The flanks that have occurred in our battles are pretty awesome.
Creativity: 1
It's not incredibly original and doesn't have any eye candy nonsense thrown in, but that sort of stuff is totally unnecessary for this map. I had to rate it low here, but really you shouldn't be judging this map on it's creativity.
Map Design: 5
A player in each corner, keep in the center. It's very balanced and fun to play. It's a stock Stronghold map changed for KotH play, and it's perfect for it.
Story/Instructions: 5
Just capture the keep already!
Additional Comments:
This is an excellent 4-player map, and the best KotH map I've played. Your main keep isn't safe and the battles for the center keep are always epic. Check it out!
