the hardness of the scenario depends on who is in the middle.
player 1 will find it hard because they have to cross water to attack and they are on an island plus when they run out of resources they must fight other players to claim more resources though there is enough on the island to get to the iron age with most techs.
pl 2,3 and 4 will find it easy because they are on the main land with the most resources
Playability: 2.5
Very, very simple. It's more or less like RM gameplay, excepting the fact that you are in the middle... While everyone else is around you. Sure, it makes the game different, but it can be done within a few minutes in the editor. There were some extra nicks, like extra clumps of resources, but really nothing to enhance the game.
Balance: 2.7
Things aren't easy for player 1, as they are in the middle and are likely to be the first target for any enemy. This complicates things slightly, but really this isn't all that creative, and all you'll have to do is remember to defend a few more sides than normal.
Creativity: 1.8
Geh, it's an RM map with some modifications, a lake with an island in the middle in which player 1 will stand about. And thats it. There isn't anything too dandy in the storyline, map or gameplay really, although the "middle" idea is kind-of interesting. It's too bad that this could have been done within minutes on the editor, though. The clumps of resources can make for some interesting competetion, though, so I will give you some semi-marks for it.
Map Design: 2.5
Very random map looking... Just a lake in the middle with shallows connecting it to the mainland. Therefore, it gets an average score for being as it is. Nothing other than the lake to enhance the map. Decent enough as it is here for a MP map. A bit blank though...
Story/Instructions: 1.7
Storylines really aren't required in MP scenarios, so what can I say. This is a tilt more or less, and I'm giving it this score simply because this scenario could have been made within mere minutes on the editor... And that's not a good thing. It's best to keep overtly simple scenarios to yourself, as we can simply make MP maps for our own entertainment.
Additional Comments:Very simple Rm B&D gameplay like alot of MP scenarios. IT shouldn't be too bad of a play with a pal or two, but you might as well make one yourself. It's solid, but not shiny. Decent job nonetheless.
