I absolutely LOVE the territory names and secrets. the options on the bonuses are great for overridden bonuses to make scenarios, and the map really does successfully tell a story. It's a joy to play <3

5/5 map
The art and gameplay are excellent! Lovely!
When I played this map for the first time I felt like a tourist visiting a beautiful old town, very exciting to walk through all the streets exploring all establishments with splendid names.
Its perfect to play in all categories: 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, FFA and Diplo games.
Congratulations!

I cant even begin to describe how much I love this map.

The artwork is beautiful and so seamlessly blended with the territories that it almost could pass for a real life map.

The city streets are a great feature that makes up for an inherent shortcoming of area based strategy games like RISK and WL. One of the things that always bothered me about the medium is the lack of importance of intersections and choke points. War at its core is always a fight for intersections and supply lines, each side fighting for a better position to equip and move their troops. This map blends area based combat while still maintaining the importance of mobility and tactically sounds defensive positions.

It is altogether a beautifully made and very fun map. It is one of my new favorites.

Brilliant! I love the complexity and vastness of this city- there's a ridiculous amount to see and explore. Full of interesting territory names and Easter eggs, words can not express how awesome this map is. Well done, looking forward to many future games on it!

This map is a difficult as it is beautiful. Kudos to Ranek for an exquisitely designed, well laid-out, strategically conceived and hands-down awesome map. There are a million great things I could point to in this map - the variety and speed of movement, the walled areas, the outskirts, the bridges, the artwork - it's all 5 stars all across the board.

5/5 Map I also found the Argyle: the lazy cat that sleeps on your map ;)

It is lying there next to "The Cat Guard's Den under a tree top right corner.

Masterpiece. Both visual and game-play aspects of this map are topped. Street concept works perfectly - they dont give income but have high strategic value allowing for quick passages and ability to attack multiple territories. Some nice chokepoints.
One tiny suggestion - I am not a big fan of superbonusses myself but this map is perfect place for use of them and in my opinion yours are a bit undervalued - increasing thier value a bit could be beneficial I suppose.

Overall 6/5 map
What concerns me most is why some #$%@ valued such perfect map below 5/5??!!

Dude. With this great background art, even Coffee Cup would be a given 5/5. And it plays out really well.

A great map!
There are so much options for RPs! By adjusting the Armies and or bonusses you can create a nice siege or relive the intrigues in a medieval city.

The bonus values aren't generated randomly but strategically so this map could be also played in competitive games. But it my oppinion RPGs or Diplo games are where it really shines.

Thank you for the siege distribution!

practical for long games.
good, detailed and variable map.
only flaw: with some territories you have to click exactly in the middle (not to near at the border).

..but I like it.
