Playability: 5
Playability refers to not only the game triggers and other stuff functioning, but also to an intangible aspect that do with the enjoyment the scenario offers, if it's replayable etc.
In this respect, your scenario excells.
Balance: 4
Yes, it's quite balanced but I didn't assign the max rating cause I think that it could be harder. It is my personal view, that the scenario must be a bit harder, so that the danger of losing is greater than winning.
Creativity: 5
Creativity is an underestimated word with designers such as yourself, as you belong to the top notch people in the field. The new concept you brought in was the travelling mode and adventuring at each stop, in a new way than the usual.
The cinematics were also great, as your norm.
Map Design: 5
Once again -as is your standard- you've created great eye candy, and I'm not reffering only to building compositions but also to terrain.
Story/Instructions: 5
Simple, full and to the point, so that even people who don't have English as their mother tongue could easily understand ~like me.
Additional Comments:
I recommend the scenario full heartedly, it's a game for all to play and for designers to get ideas and check out the triggers.
There is one question that I have to ask though. Was the idea of using the object "lava sea" (can't remember the editor object's name) as a background for Poseidon's statue from the ANATHEMA scenario? If you did, I'm honoured that I may have added a little something creativity wise. If you didn't, then as we say in Greek: "all great minds meet" !!!
