Hi there,
The 'Defending the River' map is indeed a challenge, but deffinetly not
impossible. To illustrate the point I played it again after a good long
while and got my butt kicked lol. I have done it several times before
though, so I know it's not impossible. When I actually manage to win it
again I can tell you more. Meantime, keep trying!
Jono
P.S. If you think That one's tough, wait until you get to number four.
*grin*

Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Defending the River
So I've only beaten the first two maps in the Getting Started pack without
cheating, and the second one I needed guidance with. Looking at the third
one recently reminded me why I love maps like Age of Warlords so much. You
can get new units as time goes on. Sure, the other side can as well, but at
least you can eventually overpower them. The Getting Started maps give you a
limited amount of frankly weak units and if you lose any of them while your
enemies still have more than you do, you're basically screwed. I'm trying
(and failing) to beat Defending the River right now. There's no way I can
spred my party thin enough to cover both ford sections of the river, so I've
tried clustering them together at the biggest one, casting speed on anything
it'll be useful on and blazing the ford tiles in front of me as well as one
of the ones beyond it. That helps sort out the wolves when they come in. But
it's not enough. I know it's not. I also know these maps wouldn't be there
if you couldn't beat them, so how the frick do you do it?
