I'm not as concerned about the turns, though the map does get busy
fast, if we're talking about axis versus allies in warlords.
I was going to email and talk about what I've noticed so far, though
I've barely gotten into the map after starting over once. grins
My own horror story, I had a diplomat, who I thought was not
AI-controled, go on a suicidal rampage on his way to the centaurs. He
attacked a watchtower, and then moved back into the waiting clutches
of some orcs who were just peacefully attacking a hamlet. Alas! His
sole contribution to the cause was to be fodder.
I'm not at all sure I'm using caravans the way you mean for them to be
used. I had an AI-controlled one transfer funds from an archer, which
I thought was odd. Then when I made a caravan and tried to use it, I
decided to be just as odd, and I made it transfer funds from a
catipult. blinks
Lastly, I'm not sure the hamlets can ever summon skirmishers. I get
told I need 400 brass to do that, however, the limits on the hamlets
is 200 brass.
Am I missing something?
I'm finding this to be one of the most challenging, and fun, maps I've
played so far.
I'm slightly worried about balance, but considering I'm barely into
the map I suspect that will slowly start to fade.
It sounds a lot like others have progressed a lot farther than I have
which also lessens that concern. Great job on this map.
