This map is probably best played in multiplayer online, but it can be done in all AI mode, but their castles may not work right given the tight quarters for some of the larger castles. It is a challenge to obtain iron because it all resides in the middle and there are 6 people trying to fit on the small rock, If you find this to difficult let me know and i will make a revised version with more iron. There are many different layers that you will have to fight through to get to the enemy castle giving both sides great advantage for archers, balistas and anything else that can kill over great range. You will have to travel to obtain all of your resources, there looks like there will be alot of oasis to farm but i designed it to look that way.. acturly it is very limited on the top and bottom layer because i purposly made it smaller with more scrub grass.
If anyone has any problems besides the fact the AI castles may not function properly, let me know. I am working on a way to give the castle building area more space without taking to much away from the oasis.
Good Luck, have Fun!

P.S.- Comments and Ratings always appreciated, please dont hold anything back on how you feel about it because i am still learning. Thanks-
---Update:Added some more space to build castle and fixed some of the farmland
Try being more specific? "It needs alot of work" dosent tell me anything

Well what I can see is that this map would be played often thru the internet, as the players like the ressources pretty much out in the open for them to get, and the design is simple, not too many obstacles to go around (i guess they just like playing like that). I just think that this map wouldnt score high here because it doesnt look more 'natural' (?). When I didnt know how to make my maps better, I would just find the best rated skirmish maps and see what they did (the best would be in the 2.8 and below, personally).
But I like your map, and I think its a shame that the review would not reason his comments.

Comment appreciated PDK, this was one of my early maps when i was very unexperienced, now i have made other maps since and i dont think that i will work much with this map only because i have made better and more exciting maps.
