Story
Ah, Columbar, the beautiful coastal city. The people were so lovely and friendly, the view, charming. If it only wasn�t because of that credulous lord, it would�ve been a perfect city. Lad, I got up early today to make breakfast, so I�ll go and take a nap, while you take your time reading this letter the scout leader sent to me, after he had a talk with Edward, the lord of Columbar.
The parchment started:
- Greetings, Gregory, I hope you are fine and already on the way to visit Ithélâ. I must tell you that I have negotiated successfully with Edward. He has agreed to ship in from the docks of the city everything we need to win this war, from ale to weapons and supply. He has also given his consent with sending some men to the battlefront and sending some supplies.
But, this victory was not won easily. I�ll tell you from the beginning how everything happened:
- Before we arrived to Columbar, we passed through this small town that looked like punished by something. I thought this was strange because it was a fact that Dayon could�ve never reached this part of Léugìm. After studying the wreckages we went on to the city. We were at the top of a hill, when we saw something stunning: Columbar was being attacked. Have the Black Army passed our defenses without us noticing? We camped in a place I thought we could not be seen, and I went off to take a closer view.
-I noticed the attacking soldiers did not have Dayon�s insignia, which was something good� But now, I didn�t know who the attackers were. Were they from another kingdom? Were they taking advantage of our weakness and were attacking us to take Columbar?
I couldn�t do anything until the end of the siege. If I approached at this moment, the defenders would think I was an enemy and die. So I had to wait�
My men and I were a week in our camp waiting for some improvement on the battle. Until one day the besiegers left. We made a small white flag and approached the city. Though the guards thought twice before letting us in, the gates were opened and we entered the city...

Sorry if I confused you there Dougleass. But it was due to me confusing myself. I had not noticed I was logged into the Suicide Squad ID when I posted the comment.(I had previously been updating the DL pages for maps 4 and 6)
Oh. And now about this map.... Yes. 77 downloads already and it has only been up three days! Players clearly find your City of Columbar attractive, as do I. A beautifully landscaped map and well proportioned city :)

Thank you very much for the review! I had some playtesters, and they said it was too hard, so I made it easier. I'd rather make a too easy map, than too hard, (but normal difficulty is of course the best) but here I just went too far and it became too easy I suppose.
I hope you still enjoyed it! |
