This is another siege map that i've made. I recommend you play on Very Hard for a challenge but for easy play on Normal. The storyline is in the game. Read the readme file for more info about the map and things of that nature. Enjoy. =-)
Playability: 3
I'm a bit generous giving a 3 I think. There's not much to do. Its a small castle, and most of the time you just look on the battle. Its a very short map, and it gets even more boring quite frankly, because of the balance.
Balance: 3
Yes, because the balance is very poor. Firstly on very hard it becomes somewhat of a challenge. Atleast they break through the wall, but unfortunately only with a few soldiers left alive. They are easily killed. I played this both on very hard and normal. A map should be very, very hard... on the difficulty very hard. The map is too easy.
Creativity: 2
Not very much creative on this map. Its a small map, and there's not much space for something creative either. But its a very basic castle, with the only creative thing being the extra wall outside. Rather nice touch though.
Map Design: 3
Sorry, just too simple. A nice little city, but not much detail in castle design or terraining. Work on that. Look on other designers maps, like Warlord designs. I love their terraining.
Story/Instructions: 2
A very short story, but I like the spirit in it. Its not a story actually...rather instructions if anything. Too short anyways.
Additional Comments:
A very basic castle will poor balance. Practice, practice and practice. Read some of the articles here in Stronghold Heaven, and take inspiration in other maps. Choose a bigger maps size next time, it always works better.
