Hello!Well this map is one of the better maps that i have ever played and realy like your ideas of making a little invasion.Now lets start with my review.
Playability: 4.5
I had lot of fun while playing it and i like especialy when i have to make my own keep soo this map was realy good,but it was little bit too easy but its ok.The invasions were little bit weak cuz i made moat around my castle and they had no chace to get to the lord.The funny part was the arabian slaves who made a lot of damage while making fires.I was little bit angry at the 1 and 2 atack and after i placed some troops so.. thats great:D
Balance: 3.5 The balance was not accurate cuz the map was realy easy to beat and the stone quarrys were little bit too cole to the keep.The invasions were good but the only thing that bad was were ability to make dig moat around castle.
Creativity: 4.5
I like when i can make my own keep and that was great by this map.But it was too near to the stone quarrys which has given my a huge advantage to make money while selling stones.
Map Design: 4.5
I like your map realy much,especialy the hills and the nature whos looking so real.I like the idea of making little sand hills around the castle,but the only thing was that i gived a 4.5 is that u didnt work around the ground details around the map soo.. take more time and make some more details.
Story/Instructions: 3
The story was ... little bit too short but i understand it that it is boring to write a story and it is ok...And im sorry that i cant give more than 3.
