Presenting the Winner of the 2009 1 vs 1 mapmaking competition!!!
The map is primarily designed for 1 vs 1 PBEM play. Online multiplayer should be possible but it hasn't been tested (there are a couple of areas/events which could be tricky).
This is the version that was submitted to the 1vs1 mapmaking competition. I will be uploading a modified version with some balance tweaks and extra options later (in a week or so)
It would greatly help me fine tune this map (and future creations, if any) if I can get some comments and feedback from those who play this map! Thanks! |

The map is not meant to engage the player in any of the usual single-player stuff (conquering ruins for artifacts, indie battles, etc) - at least not to the extent as in some of the other maps. The basic premise is to get the players engaged with each other quickly, while providing a simple story and atmosphere to go with it.
Played by 2 slow-to-expand or cautious players, this can lead to boring games (and I don't mean anything bad against said players). The map was primarily designed for quick player-vs-player interaction by 2 fast and skilled players. I expect the balance of the map to shine only in pvp army maneuverings - deciding when, where and how to engage.
So, no - there aren't any late game surprises :) |

Ibobs, I probably should have mentioned '2 fast and equally-skilled players'. Please don't take what I posted earlier in a bad way! |

I would rate this map highly, because:
* Some small events are generating interest in the beginning;
* You can either go for your opponant early or choose to strengthen yourself by capturing things in your vicinity: multiple options here;
* Non-symmetrical map design, with different areas that have their own atmosphere.
I played this in single player from the underground position. I think I went for my opponant too quickly; when I reached him he had lots of knights, and then I regretted I hadn't built up more. I think there must have been AI support in this map, because I could never have built up something like that in the same period (that's by no means criticism, of course). |
