Playability: 3
It's fairly playable--build and destroy.I enjoyed scouting the map out and trying to get those pesky boats. But it's all kind of aimless--I can build and destroy in my dreams if there's no opposition or time constraint.
Balance: 3
the only problem is that there is no AI--if the computer would just come get me on the mainland it would make it much more fun. As is right now I can basically divide and conquer--first the long range ballistas, then the lightning statues, then buildings, then everything else.
Creativity: 2
much of the "creativity" was in the map, nothing much else stands out (no story, no AI, no "mission")
Map Design: 5
Obviously much thought has gone into the map and trying to make the scenery great. The relics were tucked away and inaccessible until the bushes and trees were consumed by the villagers.
Story/Instructions: 1
no instructions at all. What are we supposed to do with the osiris pieces--nothing happens when I capture them. I had to kill every enemy unit to win.
