The Map: Quite big, with lots of activity such as animals, a battle already starting etc.
Author's Notes: I made some changes to this map, (see below) so it should be more difficult. I also updated the Word doc, which is on the download.
You are SEVERELY disadvantaged (economically) in this map.
Story: Continues from 'The Rat's Demise'. Story on map.

None really, but there are a few tips on a Word doc so, take a look at it.

You'll need to think hard, very hard on this one (I hope), and it might take you a while to complete.
Playability 3.5
I played this map on each difficut level twice. I enjoyed this mab but sometime it given me the impression that i'm almost ready to kill the lord and the map is too short. In rest, good playability.
Balance 3
Not too bad... At beggining, the troops are quite balanced. Indeed, first it took some time to complete the map. Because you let the map to have trebuchets, I managed to destroy the towers and then to kill the archers and crossbows with cows. Then invade with 40 macemen and you surely win. It's just easy...
Creativity 4
I like the prison, that little town down to the snake's castle and the troops position at the beginning, but the Creativity doesn't deserve a 5
Map design 3.5
The map design isn't very special but it has some unique things like the bridge over the river or the prison across the ford.
Story/Instructions 3.5
Sorry about this but the instructions are not enough detalied and I think you knew it.
Additional Comments:
Though the story/instructions are not good enough, I enjoyed this map.
