No! Don't take this one off! You didn't figure out the puzzle!

We played it and it is SOOO clever! Making a video now!

Figured it out, but how do you land and destroy them?

Clear their fortifications and then get rid of your mantlets and do it again.

Seeing as you guys proved that it's possible, maybe we could keep it. Maybe there should be a challenge maps section for really hard maps like this.

Did you try the christmas maps?

Map: Attack on the Left
There's no enemies! So it wasn't very challenging...

Map: Attack on the Desert

Surprisingly good. It was a little easy because you are fighting AI, but a nice flashback to the older style of fan maps. You fight 4 factions which is cool. And the presence of triggers are nice too.

Map: 300
Doesn't open

Map: A Lord's War
Causes a crash

Map: Age of War
No please. It is a sort of chess style map. You have tons of random heroes and win in 2 turns.

Map: Albanian's Victory
It had terrain bugs and quite a few heroes. Did not like it.

Reviewed ‘Spass’ map.
Terrain: 0
Units: 1

Summary: It’s too big, considering there’s very little in the map.
Having town centres surrounding the map edge is an interesting idea, but would need a much smaller map, i.e between 10x10 and 15x15 to work well.

Reviewed ‘Call Of The Wild’ map.
Terrain: 6
Units: 7
Playability: 6
Summary: An interesting idea, having a map with mainly scout units. I like the terrain, particularly as there aren’t enough snowy maps in the game.
The only issue is a lack of star levels. As I finished the map in 17 turns, I recommend:
14 turns for 3 stars.
17 turns for 2 stars.
More than 17 turns for 1 star.

Very clever: https://youtu.be/y0jQzMGMJ9E

(sorry that it took so long to make the little video)

I REALLY think that this map should be in. Does anyone know who the creator was? I think that they should get gems for this map, and I'd like to make a little HTML text for this map too.

WOAH. Did NOT know you could do this! Can boats travel through battering rams/mantlets as well?

This is basically a land bridge, thats awesome, very very clever

Very clever - we will see if Daniel removes it now. No you can build land bridges with siege workshops only, I think.

This isninteresting, learn a new strategy ever day

Map review- capture
Based on the style , intro and concept, i am pretty sure it is from the same person who made the epic boat puzzle- based on similar lines this one is less mysterious as there are other possible ways to move than land bridges(but the fastest win situation is in the boat bridging concept only, and not using worker made bridges) it is a deja vu feeling and this time u easily understand how to proceed after the first try or even during it. i strongly suggest , that as the developer is keen on making more such maps, he may be contacted, applauded and then requested to make more variations so that a seperate campaign based on such tricky maps be made. Surely worth playing.

If it is the same designer, he was recently banned for being a jerk

And may i ask what he did?

ha created games only for "message others" about his opinion that the the game is a piece of shit (he used very lengthy game names 80-100chrs (i have limited the game name to 25 since this)

I didnot understand, so is he a critic who did not like a game and intended to show the world this fact? Then why the hell he created the good map to improve it? And how did he show the game is shit by making a good map? Either he is the stupidest jerk i have ever come across or i am misunderstanding his crimes completely

Maybe he is just a troll, or bipolar

I played some FAN maps from tutorial maps.

World War 2
Terrain layer: 2

playability: 4
triggering: /
summary: not nice(not suggest(I will say it be(N))
Remarks:Strategy needed:How to pass through river faster. Can get three stars at 9 turns(it set 10 turns).Turns requirement to get 3 star is good.It makes the map become more difficult. But too big and too less units(only four workers and four emeny workers , some john units upside).I think this map is not match the title.Decoration is poor.Need to work harder on decoration.

Remarks: Required strategy:How to let emeny ships stands next to land.Unrealistic map (Why your tower stand next to emeny tower?Why emeny billistias next to heavy lancers?)Too big map and too many useless john units on maps.

summary: average
Remarks: Easy .No your unit die(longbowman) if you attack emeny units (man at arms ,samurai)first,horse units just attack strong wall and let your longbowman shoot.It should be more difficult.Heavy catapult and walls are so strong(high attack and hp).Change them to weaker one.Good thing is it have 3-5 triggers(I guess)(Declare victory when huntress die,dialogs,support(two longbowman)).

Narzas Inner Wall

playability: 7

summary:nice (Have potential to publish(need to change)
Remarks:Win in 26 turns(30 turns to get 3 stars).Good idea.Have triggers.Quite difficult to get 3 stars.
SUGGESTIONS TO CHANGE:
1.Worker can build guard tower to attack stable and watch tower and kill all units to win to get 3 stars(29 turns)(no need to get into town).Build a tower on forest/ river side on right so players can't do this.
2.Little strange that six workers can all get many weapons in three door area.Suggest only one or none of them)can get weapons(only 1 worker get weapons can get 3 stars),(Haven't tried no worker can get weapons in three door area can get 3 stars or not)to increase difficulty.

Wow!!! Someone's been on a map playing spree!
