I've actually tried that one before as well. The only way I could win was by
mannually adding extra units to my side, which is of course cheating. Every
time the princess ran ahead she was mobbed and wiped out. :(

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! JonoP.S. If you think That one’s tough,
wait until you get to number four. *grin* From:

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?
