This is a 4-player standard victory condition scenario with all players starting in the Stone Age with default resources. The map is very nice with a river running in a square near the outside of the map as well as an inner river creating a central island. More rivers connect the two rings of water. Resources are plentiful but not overdone. I really liked how this map was laid out - it is simple and fair. Great job.

Style: Build and Destroy
Players: 2-6
Map: East to west river splits map into 2, but the river has many shallows, and land has many hills
Playability: 3
The general layout of the map does allow for you to make a good game of things (various elevations etc).
Balance: 2
Some of the ruins are easily held by certain players, whilst some are not. Additionaly, the central players seem to have more room to move.
Creativity: 2
Map with a river and hills - basically that is as far as it goes.
Map Design: 2
Strange placement of certain cliffs, waterfalls etc. Elevations look unnatural.
Story/Instructions: 2
Basic with spelling mistakes.
Additional Comments:
Probably best to avoid this one.
