I say ‘neutral’ because it was an enemy to both myself and my own enemy yet didn’t build any forces. You, as the player, start with a very small party and must claim a settlement. The options are to take one that is open and face the guardians of the gold, or destroy one of your enemies and take it. I destroyed one only to surround myself with the enemy buildings. After a good 15 minutes I had a working village that could defend itself and started building an army. I will continue to play this map over and over with different strategies because it is that fun. This map poses a challenge and yet is still winnable with some effort. Reviewer: t0m This map was interesting but for the most part bad... I did not like the lack of gold (I needed it as I was playing as Greeks) I was attacked continuosly throughout the game (The horror never stopped) and just when I seem like I am cowering in a corner, the enemy lays off its relentless pursuit of me. Then I come in and take over the map, forcing the enemy into a corner. I give this map on a scale of 1 to 10, a 7. Good but not the best.
