The recomended difficulty is HARD.
You will be outnumbered so dont waste your men.
Hint:Boiling oil and pitch will be useful for heavily armoured units.
DEFENDING ONLY
This is my first map so please comment.
You are in charge of a small fort up north and the wolf has decided to invade! Defend it with the few men you have because it is a very important defensive position.
Playability: 3.5
I played as an defender on hard setting. basic strategy, get all my archers to gates and shoot hostile units, boiled oil and lighted those pitches when swordmen came. fun to play i always love to put enemies to fire, but there was a problem.. it was too easy, you have marked this an an "hard" map i didn't find it hard on anyway just lost 49% of my troops withouth a big challenge, if it was more challening i'd give a better score here, but it was still fun time to play it.
Balance: 2
Like i said i didn't have hard times beating this map at all, you should have marked this as an easy, saying this is hard makes no sense to me.
Creativity: 3
I like the shape of the little outpost castle, and the pitches, i could say it was well designed path to the keep.
Map Design: 2.5
Well basically it is fine, but needs really much more, bushes, stones, trees, elevated land more nature; make it more realistic.
Story/Instructions: 2.5
short instructions and short story in-game. better than nothing but could have been done better here too.
Additional Comments:
Good map for first one, just needs more balance and scenery, but as an conclusion: fun map to play, not for many times though (2 izi) :)
