A scenario for people who like the military aspect of AOE. This scenario is the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France. I have encluded historical information into the scenario with some fiction as well. This map took me a long time to do and if I recieve positive feedback, will continue to produce scenarios in the future. Multiplayer also : No
Well, I doubt we'll see Lasting Impact again, but here's the feedback he wanted.
Playability: 3
The scenario is averagely fun, with a unique map but a simple goal, and sadly little substance.
Balance: 2
The scenario attempts to represent the D-Day landing, a scenario massively spammed at EEH. If you want some D-Day scenarios, go to Empire Earth Heaven. The use of catapults to represent tanks and centurions to represent machine gunners (or whatever) is very poor, and isn't suited at all to AoE. All the same, if the scenario is well balanced I don't mind that much, but unlike the real D-Day you have little trouble with the Germans.
Creativity: 3
It's a nice break from the norm, but it just doesn't come off. The beach, the layout, all fairly original, but original is all it is.
Map Design: 3
Nice use of elevations, shallows etc to create a unique map, things like small walls were supposed to be little turrets or sand bags, barbed wire etc, but overall mainly blank and fairly unconvincing despite some effort.
Story: 3
Your objective is to destroy the wonder, and I think that is made fairly clear, but the story is fairly short and sweet, not giving any variation on a well known battle. A unique perspective would help, and a battle from 1000 AD or earlier would be even better, but he made a bitmap, so it deserves at least a 3
Overall: 2.8
Not a bad score for a beginner, but don't let me catch any of you trying to make a WW2 campaign! You can decide if you like it or not yourself.
