A new colony is to be founded nearby to Tingis, space is limited but the farmland is good. Create a small, efficient city to supply the nearby settlements with pottery and vegetables. The area is well defended by the local legions, so you will be free to tweak and puzzle over the space limitations in your settlement to your heart's content. |

Good map if you REALLY want to squeeze out an efficient city.
Completed it with some very tiny spots unused, you need to not only plan ahead in advance but also measure it so you got enough space for those palaces and hippo.
A good change of pace for those who are used to big maps and building ultra cities. |

No problems playing this map, inexperienced players will encounter at least some problems laying out their cities in such tight spaces - but this was the point all along, no?
Balance: 4
I gave it a 4 because some resources needed were not available in good quantities, making the whole process extra long. It IS manageable though, even with the slower flow.
Creativity: 5
Nice idea! Rarely seen so, something new! Kudos!
Map Design: 5
Excellent design, you CAN fit everything but you need to plan ahead.
Story/Instructions: 5
I always give this section a 5, this game is not about a great story. It helps if you have one, but it is not about the story...
Additional Comments:
New players will find this a bit difficult. Experienced players will test their "metal". True masters will have a nice walk in the park! ;-) |

Beautiful little map. Jon. You gotta upload the little lamb map for everyone to play (same concept): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A87PcJd0Rpg)

Perfectly sufficient.
Additional Comments:
Not necessarily a map for beginners, great for intermediates and experts though. |

It plays just fine.
Balance: 3
A couple of things ...
-Ceasar requests are too infrequent and yield too few favor points. Good thing I caught that on relatively early, but at least on very hard victory requires sending gifts every other year. That would be fine for a higher-scale challenge, but this here is supposedly only about efficiency.
-Rome raises wages, and only raises them. I got lucky with only 2 raises, but considering that this is random, it can get very ugly.
Creativity: 5
Just the right amount to keep it above bland, but not unnecessarily contrived.
Map Design: 5
Farmland is maybe a bit too plentiful, but that's likely necessary for a tight fit challenge. The same sentiment as for creativity.
Story/Instructions: 3
Literally don't care about the story and would give a 5, but the instructions don't prepare you for that damn favor rating issue. I expected an entirely architectural challenge, felt like false advertising, and I'm way too salty about that.
Additional Comments:
Despite my criticisms above, this is one of the most enjoyable maps around here. 90% of the uploads seem to be extra sadistic military challenges, whereas I love a map where I can just build. More of this please! |
