Playability: 4
Very playable, as its quite hard, it took some time but got there in the end ( but not impossible ! ) I like a challenge.
Balance: 4
too easy to defend, but then I prefer attacking anyway
Creativity: 5
quite creative, as you have to be careful how you attack as its quite well defended from a few angles and there are a few traps etc
Map Design: 4
Design is quite good, having to go round in circles to get to the keep, had to be careful I didnt disappear up my own ****
Story/Instructions: 1
sorry no story so low mark
Additional Comments:
Its been quite a while since I have played Stronghold,(about four years ) and I have to say I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed playing it before.
But also the seiges people are creating are not as challenging as they used to be.
I think I will have to try and make a seige map again, if I can find some time. The first time I made a seige,in 2003 it actually was immpossible, which went against me on a review I got I did about 3 others which were not immpossible but got what I thought were low sort of reviews for strange reasons, which I think put me off slightly.
I hope people read this, but with it being a 2005 map not sure if they will, so again, I will have to start making maps again
