This is my version of Fiery (spelled correctly) Maze. Its completely new. I put Sir Steele's name on the map somewhere like he wanted me to. Look for it in the landscape. His "firery" maze map enlightened me, and then I made this. So, I thought I would put a religious themed goal on this map - to represent the discovery (inspired) of the maze/fire idea. Enjoy
You are a native lord, who has made settlement in a deep Valley - named Grass Valley by the ancients. Exotic plants, bubbling jet-black pools of oil, and a narrow but deep meandering river are some of the features of your new homeland. The people grow and harvest apples, hunt native deer, and of course scoop out as much flammable pitch out of the bog to use in defense of their lordship (You)! (lord death: lose condition) The other native peoples will attack your home, "Grass Valley" and attempt to take your pitch resource and then also control the only access to the other side of the valley. This access is the steep path in the corner by the oil pool. The market is available, but the selection is quite small. This reflects the markets isolated starting location. Check out the unique work on some of the river. Some people dressed in black have been spotted around the maypole. You must investigate this rumor. This is reachable and please enjoy my version of Fiery Maze - Grass Valley Edition.
Playability: 4.5
The map is very playable, I really enjoyed playing it with the ancient tribal theme in mind. Great fun! :) Only problem is its a tiny bit too slow to get going, but that doesnt detract much from the gameplay, as the scenery alone is enough to keep you playing.
Balance: 4.5
This map is possibly a tad too easy. It may be just me, but I found it easy to win, due to the large amount of time you have to build up your economy and army at the start.
