!!!MADE WITH AUGUSTUS v3.2.0.659-b14f7be1 and requires such or higher!!!
Your next mission is to settle down in Lesontium. Lesontium lays over the shore of france and is critical for the empire. The Region was once controlled by the romans but got overrun by enemy forces in a fight over the wealth bringing trade routes. Ruins of the old and rich Metropol still lay on the cliffs of Lesontium waiting to be reconquered. Looters have small camps there and sell the remaining materials of what is left. Few water sources by the old deep wells of the lost Metropol are points of interest since the stony and windy landscape cant hold big amounts of sweet water in the upper layers of earth. The terrain is heavily patrolled by the enemy. It needs a strong and clever hand to get control over the region again. A succesful outcome will get you out of exile.
The coastal Highway is critical infrastructure used for transportation and trade. You are not the only party that wants to benefit of the rich trading route.
The bay of Lensontium is easy to defend and makes a good start for a settlement.
There are rumors about a tree and an old ritual which needed water

Playability: 5
Everything works. Nothing is unusually cruel.
Balance: 5
Good balance of military and economic challenges. Local resources for monuments are available. As usual 10k pop is more than you would need but is not insanely high.
Creativity: 5
Good water restrictions and high ground on most of the map, entry point placement as well.
Map Design: 5
Restrictions make it interesting, otherwise central climate and space around water are key elements.
Story/Instructions: 5
As always good to have but should not impact ratings.
Additional Comments:
I enjoyed playing the map. Its unique enough to make it play again map.

All work well, nothing unusual.

The price drop provides additional challenge but not too much. Grand temple of Neptune help to establish another settlement. Military is at right amounts.

I feel like the bay area is not as important as it looks, only used it for fishing. Land trading is enough for money need. Military is not strong enough to establish 1st settlement there.
