Description

This is a map of the Shetland Islands and the Orkney Islands that reside to the north east of Scotland. They don't normally lay side by side as shown. That is just to balance the space of the layout.

Great map - very intricate. Surprisingly, some of the odder sounding names are actually real. I'm guessing some aren't, though.

The only recommendation I would make would be to connect South Dunrossness to Foula. Armies can get bottled up in that dead-end.

There were only about 4 or 5 names I had to make up for this. All the rest are real.

Review by Halca on 7/18/2017.
This is a very nice map and very fun to play on. The map can probably work for all player modes including 1v2, 2v2, and 3v3. It's a sort of large-ish map for a 1v1 though, but the settings can be altered to accommodate that. The connections allow you to reach the other islands without too much difficulty. The megabonuses are very rewarding using the default setting. To make the map more 'strategic' you can lower the mega values, add wastelands and random warlords distribution.

Good map. You could have thrown in "Scapa Flow". After all, it is a fairly major part of the Orkneys, even if it has actually NO part of this game - purely historical info :-)

This is a fun strategic map for anything from a duel up to a big team game.

That fat ginger isn't that sloppy when it comes to map making, it's fun with some bottlenecks and good reachability of the map.

Slow start. Too long before you engage with enemy and then you have many more armies and so it is just a seal club.

And after some nearly impossible luck-based maps, you find this one, that is so easy that one can't understand why it has these settings. Complete nonsense, no fight.

Review by minde on 5/16/2022.
I think its a mistake to put this map here, as it requires no strategy, just patience to put your armies and make a move. I would suggest to add significantly more armies to A1 and A2 e.g. they start with additional 1000 armies than this map would require strategic thinking. Or move this map to the start levels

Very attractive, well built map. I probably could have ended it a lot sooner but the map was so nice I felt the urge to fill every corner of it lol.

Review by darkbullbvb on 8/19/2023.
Good map, not the hardest. All you have to manage is a perfect expansion at early game, which means a lot of leftbehind units, with you have to follow the first armies, which i dont like, its grinding. An airlift could solve this.

Map was way to easy - AI could have been much more aggressive.

i think this game so much light. Much more enemy needed, minimum add 1 AI on the north.

Review by Bruno on 3/21/2024.
The map is good, but as usual, whether the map is good or not is dependant on the level design, which I am not supposed to be commenting on!

Great map, but I wasn't quite keen on the names of the places such as "Da Niggards", "Ladies hole" and "Gentlemen's ha".
