King Alaric has ordered me and my men to travel to Uisneach and protect it, because he expects Roman attacks. He has told me that the Romans have recently adopted a new faith, Christianity. This religion sees our way of life as heathen and particularly dislikes our worship of holy trees like Uisneach, which it views as idolatry. I myself can hardly believe any of this, the Romans surely know that the wrath of their old Gods will be terrible! Still, I am just a warlord and Alaric is King. He also told me that if we arrive too late to save the tree or nearby village, we are to slaughter every Roman and priest. If we find anything that has been build in the name of this new religion it is to be destroyed. It may not spread.
Read more of the story in the readme file, the map itself contains a kind of summary.
If you are a(very) experienced player I recommend playing this map at hard difficulty.
I hope you'll have fun, Lord_Ako.
Ancient Oak is a very classy map - so far i'm still playing it, and will post more afterwards. Just wanted to quickly say that I really liked the story, and also how you incorpourated it into the game play - 'Lose timer' for example. Anyway hopefully i'll have completed Ancient Oak by tonight. Nice one. Andy

Thanks for the fantastic review Andy Baz, I'm glad you enjoy a good challenge cause I feared I might have made this one too hard. It was also good to hear you think my maps keep improving, I'll try and do my best to keep this up. :)
