Played the 'Defence In The Sea' map.

Terrain: 0
Units: 0
Playability: 0
Summary: Swordsmen walking on water? Why?
Plus it only took 10 turns, not 50 for a 3 star victory.
And what's the point of the firework ships?

[Stratego (dev)]

the hunt: nice map indeed, i sent email to designer increase difficulty or lower the starlimits.

[SomeGuy]

Played 'The Kings Way' map.

Terrain: 0
Units: 1
Playability: 0
Summary: You can't do anything to stop the shadow knights. There's nothing you can do, but lose...

[SomeGuy]

Played the 'Battle Of Trenton' map.

Terrain: 7
Units: 8
Playability: 9
Summary: A little hard, but I enjoyed the map! This is good enough to publish.
I like how the player's siege units balance out the enemy forces, and that it is hard but not impossible. No issues with the map.

[SomeGuy]

Played the 'Defense Battle East Rome' map.

Terrain: 1
Playability: 0
Units: 2
Summary: The map is too big, it is overwhelming. Player has so many units, it's hard to know what to do with them all. Shows that bigger is not always better.

[SomeGuy]

Played the 'King Hess Invasion' map.

Terrain: 7
Units: 4
Playability: 5
Summary: Nice terrain, but I found the mission a bit easy for my liking. Some issues are:
1. One of the allies, 'admiral grease' is very powerful and do much of the work for you. I suggest having fewer units for him, or more enemy ships.
2. I'm not sure about having the 'Julius Caesar' unit, he seems to make the mission fairly easy. Is this meant to be easy to win?
3. If there are allies, they should be different colors, I got confused when admiral grease's units were the same colour as the player's.

If it's meant to be easy, only number 3 should be implemented.
The star levels are good at the moment, if the others are changed, the star levels will need to rise as it will be harder.

To SomeGuy,
Please, please compile all your reviews into one mega post, just because it's much more convenient for daniel (and me ) to overview. All reviews don't need to come in at the same time either, so no worries on that end. It's NOT like Daniel was asking for this either
Also, why is this not under the 'devs ask for help' section. And don't say it's because yiu weren't asking for help. Or else why would you post this thread in the first place. For the sake of an orderly forum, just put it there as its something we aren't obligated to do, but will do anyways, along with every other single thing you would ask of us, were it within our reckoning.
(If for nothing else do it for my wordsmanship (not a real word by the way) that I put together to persuade you)

Alright Hardeep, I'll put my reviews into a single post. I did not realise that many posts would make it more difficult for you guys, but I will do that next time.

Also, why is this not under the 'devs ask for help' section. And don't say it's because yiu weren't asking for help. Or else why would you post this thread in the first place. For the sake of an orderly forum, just put it there as its something we aren't obligated to do, but will do anyways, along with every other single thing you would ask of us, were it within our reckoning.

About this, I'm not sure why this isn't in the 'devs ask for help' section. I understand that I have made a lot of posts, but I didn't make the topic. I think it might be here because it is related to the campaigns.

Thank you for reading this, and I hope that you now understand what I have to say.

That part was for daniel, sorry for the confusion. I feel like Daniel's trying to turn a blind eye though...

sorry i lost the point, what is the question here?
- I like the thread here
- and i am thankful to SomeGuy checking these maps,
- and i like the "one post form" and the multiple post form too (one post is very little easier to handle tough)

[Hardeep]

This is the question, so don't you ignore it

[Stratego (dev)]

as i said i dont understand the point in the question.
and if u dont describe with other words we can not step ahead.
email me if u somehow are not happy with the current situation, so we can discuss it in a few emails.
thanks!

[Darkknight]

I think he is just asking why this is not in the Dev ask for help area.

[Hardeep]

I think he is just asking why this is not in the Dev ask for help area.

Precisely!

[Stratego (dev)]

i have answered it already. because i do not "ask" anyone to do these. these are less important than the ones i "ask" for. I only posted if anyone likes checking new maps, they are here.

I have reviewed the ‘Siege Fun’ map.
Terrain: 1
Units: 3
Playability: 3
Summary: Terrain bugs, and turtle ships on land are not a good way to make a good map.

‘Que’, ‘Goliath’, ‘Phillipines 2’, ‘Freedom 2’, ‘Hun’, ‘age of empire’ and ‘3030’ are corrupted.

I have played the ‘Idek’ map.
Terrain: 6
Units: 5
Playability: 4
Summary: Nice terrain, a few issues:
1. Knights on top-left corner are on a mountain, and can’t move. Suggest moving the mountain to the left.
2. Holes in the northern road, suggest using different terrain there.
3. The base in the middle is not assigned to a team, and will not do anything. Suggest making a third player, and replacing neutral units with third player’s units.
4. Mission is fairly easy, suggest either:
-Reduce star levels. Finished in 8 turns, not 15 for a 3 star victory.
-Giving Player 2 a production building, such as a town centre.
Other than that, it is good!

Played the ‘War’ map.
Terrain: 2
Units: 2
Playability: 0
Summary: Units… so many units, it’s overwhelming! And there’s a neutral team with a huge army as well.
It seems people don’t realise the gray team is neutral and doesn’t do anything, could we put in the help section that the gray team does nothing?

[TheBluePhoenix]

I have always thought of this that the neutral team should attack. It should attack anyone which tries to capture their lands or wipe them out.no one stays donig nothing on being attacked

Was fun, balanced but not necessarily easy, great to see poison destroying the knights. The terrain could be better though. Suggest that rocks become humans rocks so that you need not stand ground to avoid shooting them.

You must be new here.......
This is one of the more promising maps here

Reviewed ‘Siege of a new age’ map.
Terrain: 0

Summary: Very easy, didn’t need to put any effort into winning at all.

Reviewed ‘Star wars Vs Grate Emp Of Rome’ map.

Summary: If I wanted to see TIE fighters, I would have watched Star Wars.

Reviewed ‘Rome Vs Rome’ map.
Terrain: 2
Units: 0
Playability: 0
Summary: Not much to say about this map. Small, easy, and no chance for strategy. If there were production buildings, that would be a good start.

Reviewed ‘Prueb’ map.
Terrain: 6
Units: 7
Playability: 7
Summary: That was fun!
A minor issue with the terrain, but otherwise it is publishable!
I suggest replacing the rocky ground texture with another texture, such as the desert texture. I find that it makes a good road texture.

Reviewed ‘Boat transport puzzle’ map.
Terrain: 0
Units: 2
Playability: 0
Summary: It is not possible to move. So you can not win.

Reviewed ‘Build Your Own Castle’ map.
Terrain: 7
Units: 6
Playability: 9
Trigger Use: 6
Summary: This map was fun, I liked how triggers built up to a countdown which sent enemies, and how the map gives you the ability to create a fortress and try out different strategies.
There are no issues with the map. This map should be published. I think the map maker should be congratulated!

Reviewed the ‘Gladiators Arena’ map.
Terrain: 5
Units: 7
Playability: 7
Summary: A fun map where all players start with the same units. There are two issues though:
1. The ‘Message Chat’ trigger at the start should be changed to a ‘Message Dialog’ as it looks better.
2. No turn limits. I completed the map in 66 turns, so there should be:
-50 turns for 3 stars.
-70 turns for 2 stars.
-More than 70 turns for 1 star.
Other than that, it is good.
