This is a single scenario. Gwernach is located on a cliff overlooking a small seaside village. It's an old place where the old gods compete with the new god, Christ. The local bishop has noticed this lapse of faith and called upon you to set it right. As a pennance you'll have to offer money and supplies to the church to build a new cathedral. With your masons of working elsewhere, you'll have to face the local raiders face to face, as you can not add protection to the village and face them from the security of your walls.
As usual, this map has some very strong economic goals.
Tips:
- Be careful of the local wild life.
- Be careful with your wood supplies.
Warning
The end of the green 'invasion bar' does not necessarily mean there won't be any more invasions. |

Balance: This is the only problem I had with Gwernach. Part of the victory requirements is an 80% Blessed Population. At last count I had built over 20 (!!!) churches for a population of 78 people. That seemed out of balance to me.
Creativity/Map Design: This is a very beautiful map with great sign location(s). I really like how the castle sits on the cliff, and the sparse amounts of iron and stone make for a challenge.
Story: It was a nice story, but after playing Gwernach I felt like I had just completed an economic map rather than a Invasion. |

Seems I need to keep sticking in the warning that my "Invasion" Maps, might need to be termed "Economic maps that get invaded" :)
As for the churches, 80% is a high rating, but you should have been able to reach that with less than 20 of them... |

Playability = A really great map, and very easy to play, the enemy attack from different places so troop positioning is very important.
Balance = The Balance is good although, the tree fungus does make the map tedious towards the end, when you have got enough troops to fight off the attack, only to find you wood supply is dwindling, and you have to wait until more trees have grown to make wood cutting a feasible choice again.
Creativity = A new idea, genius!! I really like the scripting, except for the amount of tree fungus - I hate tree fungus!!!
Map design = On the whole a very nice map, I found the land in places horrible to build on (this was for wheat farms mind you) other then that it was a really well made map, with just enough eye candy. The goals of the map were reachable after much thinking (I had to move the armoury to make enough space for all the armour)
Story = The story line was good and original, although im beginning to see some sort of pattern in all your scenarios, they all include churches :P!!;)

Playability: 4 It seemed like there was always something to do on this map. The pace of the invasions and events worked well. And the recurring thought I had while playing was "how do I defend it all". And even when I thought I had a plan, it was hard to get it all done.
Balance: 4 It took several tries to win it. Again the timing, size and composition of the invasions was well done. However, it seemed like that I had to build all the churches in large groupings. I found it hard/impossible to gradually build a church one at a time and then defend it from the invasions.
Creative: 4 Just a well designed scenario. The different victory requirements were well thought out and again kept me busy. The protection of the irreplaceable farms was a really nice touch. I dont really know where to mention this but the lack of trees did hurt the flow of the game. At one point I had to shut down all the woodcutters and waited out a few invasions. Its ok but it really did not contribute much to the fun of the game. I'll give you this it was surprising to see all that land with NO trees
Map Design: 5 I dont like giving out 5's but this map really deserves one. It's just pretty to look at. The castle on the cliff overlooking the sea is superb. I just love a map with restrictive terrain. You can't just build anything you want anywhere you want. Putting the iron way out from the castle is really nice placement. By the way the placement of the stone was interesting too. It seemed the stone was relatively close to the keep and somewhat easy to defend but looks were deceiving. It seemed I was always either trying to protect the iron mines and stone quarries or rebuilding them. The signpost placement was perfect for this map it provided for complex defensive angles and it forced some difficult decisions.
Story: 4 Overall it was a good story with details and it supported the mission objectives well.
By the way did I say that I liked this map? I meant I loved this map. I highly recommend it.

The challenge, is trying to finish them before the invasions run out. So in a way they should be considered speed missions to get the most fun out of them, but I'd feel sorry if someone just couldn't finish it with in the time limit, so I don't put one in the scenario (or rarely). |
