For my 10th Skirmish i wanted to do an unusual map with a freaky design and a nice gameplay.
So I decided for this one.
First i wanted to do this without the fords so that you have to fight from the middle to the outward. But this didnt work because the enemy wouldnt attack you (the units dont walk ways longer than one map (400) but the way is even longer (about 3-4 maps)) So finally i put some fords into and it worked. I tested it with most of the AIs and all castles (excluding the big ones from Wolf and Wazir) worked well maybe some opponents wouldnt build up a tower or one building but their economy and troop building works fine. Theres enough stone and enough iron I placed so, that the AIs use it.
I think farmland wouldnt be the problem ;P
Sorry that i had no time for a story but in that way im not creativ enough :D
Good luck and have fun
