Ths is another game which is totally messed up.
Lumberjack #2 is too get 14 reinforcements according to script, but in turn 2 gets over 400 armies and continues to get over 400 each turn.

You get to manage the western opponent easy. Once that done, you stand NO chance against the other.

Like the map, hate the setup. Why in the hell does an AI get 100's of more units when there is no reason for them to. Way out of balance. Needs to be tweaked or removed from the chain. Need to have an easier way to skip these blatantly broken setups. This is garbage.

I was wrong! I thought another map was the worst. Nope, this one is. I played it 3 times and each time on turn 3, hundreds of enemy armies MYSTERIOUSLY appear. This map is a waste of time!

Review by captainlove on 9/6/2020.
I'll be generous and give you a one star on this one just because I like lumberjacks. Pretty dumb gameplay though, the map is soooo small and you can only use half of it ? Why cut it off since it's so small to begin with. SMH. For all those people wondering about the "mysterious addition of 100's of armies" it isn't a mystery. The western AI is one piece away from a reinforcement card when the game starts. You must not let the western AI take 1 of your territories, or it's game over for you. That being said, by wasting your armies on the 1st 3 turns taking out the western AI, you allow the eastern AI to build up enough to end your game very soon after you beat the western AI. So this is a pointless map that you have NO CHANCE of winning in 1 player mode, just play until you get the skip is my advice. Don't stress out over it just like the many other maps that are unbeatable on the chain, skip and forget.

yet another pointless game where bonuses overwhelm you

Review by Mitigator on 1/30/2021.
You need to wipe out the West AI without losing a territory (otherwise West gets 100 reinforcements), then beat the Eastern AI before turn 15 (when East sometimes gets 100 reinforcements) otherwise you are toast. It took a good number of tries to find the right combination of aggression and ambush (and luck?) to save enough armies to make the effort on the East side. Good Luck!

The map itself is reasonable, but I find it a bit of a waste not being able to get to the north. Maybe lower the blocking to 30 to make it hard to get there, but at least that offers another (but expensive) victory path.

I don't like the fact that I couldn't see the opponents had almost complete reinforcement cards. When first starting the game, the armies come out of nowhere. No cards show played on the orders screen, and there is no option to view that the enemy has cards. It feels like the game is broken and a waste of time without that info. going in.

Review by Mike K on 9/19/2021.
This has the dumbest card set up I have yet to encounter, if Joe takes 1 territory, he will get 300 armies, and Hans will get 300 in about 6 turns. It will take you about 100 turns to get your 300 armies through the card. Hopeless and incredibly stupid. A real Troll set this up. Gave it 1 star because couldn't give zero stars.

Review by General Pompeii on 12/31/2021.
This map is utterly preposterous, impossible to win. How can so many armies be deployed from control of 1 area that brings in an income of 3. Wher did you all come up with some of these maps. There is no sense to quite a few of them.

The default setup doesn't work well. The winner will most likely be the player that happens to start out without any nearby neighbors. In the game I just played, one continent had 2 players while the other had all the others but one.

Review by thismapsucks on 5/19/2020.
Another 'just follow steps without thinking much' map, but small enough to be fine, I guess.

Turn one: place two troops to advance toward top river crossing, everything else to hold the line. Pile troops into wall, finish with charges into lumberjack to break combo. Finish up there and dash west. Just make sure eastern lumberjack never gets the 4 point combos and you'll out produce him quickly.

Cute looking map, but yet another impossible game. On turn 4 Joe was threatening me with a stack of 300 so I ran away across the lake to Hans who, with Joe's hordes close behind, wiped me out by turn11. So, what's the secret?

Dumb beyond believe. Small map that you are suppose to avoid being wiped out when the one side gets a massive amounts of troops on the second turn and you need 100 attacks that win before you can get aa card that is most likely not enough.

If the Lumberjack Joe (one next to you at the start) gains any tile at any point, they get a bonus of 300. Surrender and quit at that point.

If you manage to defeat them, surrender and quit.
Lumberjack Hans (one starting on the right) will be too powerful for you to stop.

You can't win this one. Like all the really, really, really terrible later levels, you have no choice but to take the L and skip.
